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.

Im doing the Mario Super Nintendo one. I’ve built the games console and controller, now I’m onto the tv. There is 23 bags of Lego!

I almost bought that one as well @Captain24, but I had an Atari 2600 when I was a kid, so I wanted to get that one. Still waiting to see it on special.

Don't be too concerned if you're not enjoying it that much right now. It's better than doing nothing and just feeling worse and worse. I started with just finding distractions that I wasn't enjoying. It got me moving and my mind off things enough to eventually start to do more things and eventually started to enjoy them again. It takes time. Just keep doing whatever you can to try and keep your mind occupied.

Re: I can’t cope

We had a Nintendo and I love Mario @MJG017 thats why it’s my pick.

Im hoping I eventually find the enjoyment again. I’ll just keep trying. I’ll keep trying new things as well to try an elevate the lack of enjoyment.

@Captain24Yes, we go with what we remember from our childhood don't we.

How are you doing right now? It sounds like you're really struggling tonight. Is there anything we can do for you right now?

Re: I can’t cope

I hear it is hard at the moment, but I'm kinda thinking it won't stay that way @Captain24

Have you organised any appointments for tomorrow or this week?

Re: I can’t cope

Really badly @MJG017.

Theres nothing anyone can do, it’s something I just have to work through. I do appreciate the support though. Just knowing you and @Bow care is help within itself.

Some childhood memories are good.

Re: I can’t cope

I hope not @tyme. It’s feeling really dark right now. Really dark. It’s too much. I don’t want to continue. I’m even getting frustrated with the dogs. Pix is being annoying, I think she can tell. Jetts just being all about him so that’s standard.

I have the dermatologist tomorrow but I do have my psych on Tuesday through Telehealth. I go back to work on Wednesday

@Captain24

Do you know about emulators? They allow you to play those old games on any computer these days. Atari, Nintendo, arcade... all of them. Maybe you would enjoy that for a bit of nostalgia.

A very basic online one is here... https://www.smbgames.be/super-mario-bros.php
