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.

Hey @Captain24 ,

What's happening?

So much happening on this side - not in a bad way. Just a lot of stuff happening!

What's happening on your side?

Hey @tyme

I’ve had 2 ok nights at work. Felt good when I came home this morning. Tired but good. I went to bed unmedicated and couldn’t sleep. So I’m really tired and really emotional. My mood is so low. So low. I’m not really ok.

You sound busy. Anything you can share?

Re: I can’t cope

Our forums team is growing. We are now hiring staff from outside Melb/Vic which is exciting. But it does mean I will be spending more time training others and doing other things outside the forums @Captain24 . I'll still pop in when I can though.

It sounds like you are very tired. I'm feeling a bit that way, but I also feel pumped to get things done. So I'm a bit torn.

Do you have anything planned for tonight?

Re: I can’t cope

I don’t like change @tyme. People always say that it’s good, it’s for the best, but is it really for those that the changes affect. It gives me anxiety that it won’t be the same around here.

I guess I knew you would move on eventually. It sounds good for you though. Right up your alley.

Sorry that just made me cry.

Im an idiot.

Re: I can’t cope

You're right. Change is scary. I totally agree with that.

Just so you know, I'm not going anywhere. If anything, I'm doing much more here!

Change is also big for me, so I wanted to let you know earlier. Honestly speaking, my eyes are always on the forums and will continue to be. Nothing changes there.

I'm sorry I made you upset @Captain24

Re: I can’t cope

Thanks for the heads up @tyme Better to be fore warned.

I’ve completely lost it. The last time I cried like this it was an hour and a half.

It’s ok. I’m an idiot for getting upset. I’ve been awake for 24 hours. I’m tired. I want to take the meds that I’m addicted to to go to sleep. But that’s not going to help come off them. I’ve been thinking about them all day. Being addicted has made the withdrawals so much harder.

Im just holding on by a thread right now. I know it’s not recovery-focused but I don’t have it in me right now.
