Something’s not right

I can’t cope

I can’t cope

Hi. I’m new and have never been in anything like this before.
I’m really struggling with depression at the moment and just need a place to vent.
there is no reason as to why I feel this way. I just hate myself and feel like I’m an unworthy and useless person. I don’t have a partner or many friends. I feel like I keep pushing them away when I’m down. I’m just not worthy of them. I hate life and just wish I would go to sleep and not wake up. I feel so much emotional pain inside but numb at the same time. None of this makes any sense but it just how I feel.

@Captain24 ohh settling back in can be overwhelming, do be kind to yourself!! failure is just an opportunity to learn more about what works and doesn't work for you, you got this!! plus i hear you've been working on waking at 8am each day? 2 days in a row is such a win!

Will they let you though @tyme? Have you been sleeping on your own or have you been sharing?

Re: I can’t cope

I’m trying @rav3n. The being kind to myself is hard but I am doing my best. I have been trying to do what has been asked of me. My psych said it was best to do it slowly. I like the failure allows for learning. That helps me a little.

Re: I can’t cope

@Captain24 totally fair, i find it hard to be kind to myself too - it does take some practice to rewire our minds into speaking more positively of ourselves right? that's some great advice from your psych, taking it slow is so important!! hopefully that way it won't feel too overwhelming

Re: I can’t cope

I have learnt to talk to my inner child though @rav3n. I am trying to be nurturing to her. I need to find a picture and put her on my fridge. It’s hard, but at least I can recognise her.

Hopefully I will get settled in quite quickly if I listen to myself and learn to be kind.
