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'd prefer it in fact @Captain24 - I always need time to process, and I am glad you are respecting that need within yourself too! Got PGC soon anyway and then I log off not long after, so sit with it as long as you need and even if a bigger response never forms (I never REQUIRE responses), I am glad that it does resonate so much with you 💜

Re: I can’t cope

I feel uneasy. I feel unsure of what I can do. How can I fix what’s wrong. How do I find joy in something other than my babies. How do I find who I am. How do I keep momentum. How do I get out of being stuck @tyme

Re: I can’t cope

I don't know how to answer @Captain24 .

We are all different, but for me, it sort of just happened when it was the right time. Something was the catalyst, then I never went backwards..

But before that, kids were the only thing keeping me alive.

Re: I can’t cope

I’ve been trying really hard @tyme.

doing all the things I was told to do. There has been some improvement bug now I’m just stuck. There has been no improvement with my self care stuff. I just do it because I have to. I get what Jynx is saying but it’s a lot to get my head around. The chat just bought up so

much. It made me realise that I’m not finding the right things to keep me going forward.

Re: I can’t cope

Maybe it's not about the 'right' things, but that these things change. For a time, lego and diamond art DID help, but it doesn't mean it will help forever. It doesn't mean you did the wrong thing. Rather, you did what you needed at that time, and we all know, our needs change. @Captain24

Are you being too hard on yourself again?

Consider all the things you CAN do and you do well.

Re: I can’t cope

Maybe I’m being too hard on myself, that’s not unusual. @tyme

I want to do the things I use to enjoy. I tried a new thing this afternoon and that didn’t bring any joy, it took a lot of concentration though. I didn’t even finish it

Right now I can’t see what I can do. All

i have done is made sure the dogs had a good holiday, that they are fed and both on the bed with me.
