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 really hope pixie and I get to walk along the beach alone. @Jynx I have to try. I’m going to need it. My MH nurse has told me to call if I need help.

I haven’t seen my brother for 6 months and in that time I’ve had 2 texts from him. He is the golden child. So I’m not really keen on seeing him. The only reason I’m going is to go to the beach as I love it and so does little Pix. It’s hard work trying to play happy little family

Re: I can’t cope

@Captain24 The golden child/scapegoat dynamic is so harmful to everyone involved, and if Denial still has a seat at your family table, then it makes it that much harder to get your needs met hey. I keep my fingers crossed for as smooth a trip as can be. You can do this! I believe in you. And you have your MH nurse as backup, and we will have your back the whole way as well.

I hope you do get that little walk with Pixie 🐕 Send a pic if you feel comfortable to do so!

I'm logging off for now, goodnight Captain24 and good luck with the days ahead 💜

Re: I can’t cope

I’ve done my housework and I’m packing to go away. My anxiety, fear and depression are getting worse. After 80ml of rain last night the roads to get out are flooded. We are already arguing as to how to get out of town. Part of me is excited to go to the beach the other part is worried as to how I’ll cope.

Re: I can’t cope

Not really @Bow. But I need to be careful not to trigger or upset anyone with my thoughts

Re: I can’t cope

@Captain24 I am here with you ❤️ . The floods have made things hard and have been awful and it makes total sense to feel anxious about it, many people would feel anxious.

Re: I can’t cope

If there is no more rain one way out will only add 45 mins to our 4 hr drive. The other way is 1.5hrs extra. @creative_writer.

I have way more going on than just the floods.

Re: I can’t cope

@Captain24 MI struggles is real and on top of that you have the stress of going on holidays. So it really does add up. I don’t think many people realise how stressful a holiday can be. Just take it moment by moment.
