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 can’t @tyme. I’m just to stupid.

Can't? Too stupid? Who said that?? @Captain24

Hugs to you Captain. I'm here if you need a chat. Sorry I got caught up the last 2 days.

Re: I can’t cope

I’m just not good enough to be on here @tyme. I hurt so much. (I hope that’s not too vague or to specific) I’m just not getting it. The last email makes me realise that.

It doesn’t matter I don’t feel like I’m worth it.

Re: I can’t cope

Hey @Captain24 , I've just read your last email. Is it okay I leave it for Jynx to respond to? I'm not really getting the gist of what you have been discussing. Sorry. That's not on you - that's on me.

At the same time, I'm here if you want just a general chat. And no, I never said you weren't worth it even if you feel that way.

Feelings are not fact.

Are you thinking you need to be 'perfect' to be on the forums? If so, I'm booted out then.

Come on @Captain24 , there's so much more we can run with.

Re: I can’t cope

It’s fine @tyme. Jynx won’t remember anyway.

That’s how I feel. If I’m not perfect then it’s not good enough. I’ll just mess up as I don’t get what is ok and what is not. Because I’m too stupid to get it I will get kicked off.

It’s messing me up big time.

Re: I can’t cope

Is this something that can be solved tonight @Captain24 ? If not, is it better to park it so that you get some reprieve?

Otherwise, get yourself to notice the feelings that come up for you.

The comments you've made about yourself are quite harsh. No one is perfect. If you seek to attain perfection, then you've set yourself up to fail...

Are you working Sunday night?

Re: I can’t cope

I don’t know if I will ever be able to solve it @tyme.

Theres lots of feelings that come up. None of them good.

Is it harsh or is it true?

I get home at about 7:45 Sunday night.

Re: I can’t cope

And look, maybe not being able to 'solve' it is okay @Captain24 ?

I think the 'art' is to learn to be okay with sitting with uncomfortable feelings. It's totally not me and totally not you. Yet I wonder if this is the secret?

If I don't get to chat to you again tonight, I'll hopefully be able to connect with you on Sunday night. Only if you're not too buggered after work.

Re: I can’t cope

Is it ok not to solve it? @tyme. Would that leave me unsure and uncomfortable with it all?

I don’t get ‘ I wonder if this is the secret?’ My it’s because I’m so dumb. Sorry.
