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 I don't think you are too negative. I think there are a lot of strengths within you despite struggling a lot ❤️

Re: I can’t cope

Thanks @Former-Member. I’ve responded

Hey @creative_writer How is your day. Hope the migraine is easing for you.

I am usually negative but today I have that buzz today and I’m loving it! Oh how I’ve missed it! I just keep going and have already done my entire to do list except for the rest of my ironing as the washing is still drying.

I’m full of positivity, joy and energy!

My only hope is that I can keep it for a couple of days not just a couple of hours.

Hoping that you are having a better day than yesterday!

Re: I can’t cope

@Captain24 glade to hear today has been better. My migraine is doing better than yesterday, having this sense of extreme sleepiness kicking in right now. My mood hasn't been good today, but don't know what I can do about it.

Re: I can’t cope

Sorry your mood hasn’t been good @creative_writer. I am glad that your migraine is starting to ease. I’ve only ever had 3 so I guess I’m lucky.

Are you able to get some sleep?

Do you have anything that you like to do to help lift your mood? Maybe watching a comedy?

Sitting with you

Re: I can’t cope

@Captain24 I think I need sleep. Head is starting to feel heavier again. Don’t know why I keep waking up early. I have contacted helplines a few times today, I hate feeling so needy.

Re: I can’t cope

I keep waking up early too @creative_writer. Are you able to darken your room any to help stop the light coming in?

Can you have a rest now?

You’re not needy you just need some extra help right now.

Re: I can’t cope

While I’m loving the buzz, feeling fantastic and feeling invincible, the adrenaline and my heart rate won’t slow down. My body is tired but I just keep going.

Re: I can’t cope

@amber22 I’ll try to sleep early tonight. My sleep has been awful lately. I want to cry right now and be hugged. But I don’t feel emotionally safe to cry in front of people.

@Captain24 finding it hard to rest. Anxiety is really bad right now. The buzz can feel amazing, but it’s so draining for the body. In the past, after my hypomanic episode I would often have a migraine because it just was not a state that could be maintained. The extra productivity and 2 hours of sleep weren’t helpful for my body. Maybe try to slow down?
