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.

Re: I can’t cope

I don’t know @tyme. Nothing like this has happened to me before. I was really calm when it all went down.

I feel sick.

Jett is sound asleep next to me and Pix is on my lap.

Can you help me? Please? I’ll try anything?

Re: I can’t cope

hey @Captain24 i hear you had a rough day today, that incident sounded pretty scary - makes total sense if you're processing it now and feeling quite overwhelmed. do you feel comfy reaching out to Lifeline or SCBS? talking to them can help you process those mixed emotions safely, we're sitting with you 💗

Re: I can’t cope

@Captain24 what makes you think you've let us down?

we all have our good and bad days, our highs and lows - reaching out for support is the complete opposite of letting us down!

Re: I can’t cope

I feel like I’ve let everyone down @rav3n. I thought I had the stress under control

Re: I can’t cope

i've had moments where i thought i finally had my anxiety and depression under control too & then BAM! Surprise! I don't have it under control and I'm freaking out!

some situations are a bit easier to manage than others @Captain24 and today's situation was something new and overwhelming, its okay to feel a lil out of control! the good part is that you know that somethings up and you reach out. you're not letting us down by being human, you deserve support regardless of how 'in control' you feel.

Re: I can’t cope

I’m really sick today. I have a massive headache, feel sick and am really lethargic. I guess the fumes were worse than I thought.

Re: I can’t cope

Just over the counter pain relief @Shaz51. My dad reckons I should go to hospital. But I don’t want to so I’m not. If it gets any worse then I will have to. Not sure if it’s done any damage to my lungs. If they start to hurt then I will go.
