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

@Captain24 haha you got about a decade on me don't ya hun? I was doin em at my high school discos!! LOL

Nah not at ALL. My sister has snake phobia, I've seen it. I know how intense it is. You'll cop nothing but understanding from me. It's flared up real bad of late, that just means you need more support, probably helps to be able to talk about it no? Especially cos it would be taking up so much of your emotional bandwidth hey.

Till then!! Niiight 🫂🫂

Re: I can’t cope

I’m in my late 40’s @Jynx

It’s taking up most of the space in my brain. I can’t let it go. The fear is intense. It’s like is has consumed me. It has pushed away my other thoughts though. Id much rather the others I think. I feel like a broken record l. While talking about it has my distress levels high not talking about it sends them higher. If any of that makes sense. I feel like I’m in a permanent place of distress.

Re: I can’t cope

I put my washing on the line and took it off @Jynx. I was shaking but I did it. I just didn’t look to the right.

They gave me Tuesday night off so I can go to the course on Wednesday so I’ve made an extra appointment with my psych.

Yeah I am @Jynx. I feel like 3 weeks is too far away with this exposure stuff. I don’t want it hanging over my head that long.

Re: I can’t cope

Nothing on @Jynx. I feel like I need a nap. I’m pretty tired.

I’ve got lots that I should be doing but it’s ok, it’ll be there tomorrow. I will be kicking myself though.

You get up to much today

Re: I can’t cope

Honestly what a mood @Captain24 haha I have spent my morning procrastinating for sure. Be a nice pile o dishes for me when I finish up tonight!! I got that like.... super 'meh' feeling in my body today, prolly cos of my hormones.

Re: I can’t cope

I had a nap. @Jynx

I get the procrastinating. It’s not very helpful and then there is more to do so you procrastinate more. It’s a vicious cycle!

Hormones suck… are they coming or going?

Is there anything you can do for yourself to help with the meh? Any self care?
