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.

@Captain24 can I reframe that a little?

I don’t know @Jynx. It just felt wrong. It’s been a while since I’ve belted out a song. I use to enjoy it but now it doesn’t interest me. It’s like it’s just another thing the mess of a life has taken from me. anhedonia has taken over, making it hard to be able to enjoy.

Call a spade a spade, and see if you can practice removing the shame from the way you talk about yourself - litttle tiny piece by little tiny piece. Because if it's something 'taken' from you then you won't believe that it's a joy that you can regain. But you do, on some level, know anhedonia can be worked through - so by calling it what it is, you subconsciously give yourself hope that one day you will sing again!

I'm sorry we couldn't chat more tonight hun. Seems like this time of night is getting busier and busier every week! You chugging along okay for now?

Hugs for you!!
