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 Thank you for letting me know, I shall remember this for next time.

Okay, maybe we can try a shower and then check-in after? ☺️

I just had a hot shower @tyme @AuntGlow. It’s worth it @tyme. I’m nice and warm right now.

It has helped my hip a little.

I just put a tracksuit on and I’m nice and snuggly. You should do it in your break. You’ll appreciate it! @tyme

Re: I can’t cope

This is really good to hear! Listening to the body helps heaps when we are dysregulated. Sometimes we just need to follow what feels soothing, knowing it's okay to try a few different things until we feel more settled. What do you think is next for you this evening? @Captain24 💛

Re: I can’t cope

I don’t know what else @AuntGlow. My body does feel more relaxed. Not as tense. But I just don’t understand why it hasn’t helped with my mind.

Re: I can’t cope

The fact it has allowed your body to soften is huge!! Sometimes we need some more support/strategies for the mind to slow down too... or some cognitive support. What does your mind really need to hear or know right now? @Captain24
