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

morning @Captain24 chores like cleaning things are honestly really hard for me to get started. ESPECIALLY when it's so damn cold! you're not a loser for struggling to these things - med changes, the weather, etc - these are just a few things that make it harder to get things done, so pls do be extra kind to yourself today 💙

would it help if i'm your accountability buddy today? you can update me if/when you get any tasks done, no matter how big or small.

Hey @rav3n

@Because you said accountability, I got rid of the rubbish in my kitchen. Thank you. The rest is just have to wait. I’m just having lunch, then a hot shower and bed. I have nightshift for the next 3 nights.

Re: I can’t cope

yay!! that's so great @Captain24 sounds like a plan. hot showers tend to make me feel calmer afterwards, hope it helps you rest up well today. that's a hectic work schedule, i imagine it makes it harder to find energy to get things done - yet you ticked getting rid of the rubbish in your kitchen off the list!!

hope you're having a nice lunch 💙

Re: I can’t cope

I drink energy drinks @rav3n . Might need a couple tonight. I’ve also packed a hot lemon and honey drink so hopefully it stays warm until about 3 when it’s suppose to be minus two.

Re: I can’t cope

That’s nice of you. I’ve given up on them. I’ll just give them to the dogs. They will love them. @tyme

I still feel numb and had a shit sleep but I’m about to go to work. It supposed to get down to minus three at 7 am. So that is shit. I’ve got three nights of it. I’ve left the heater on for the dogs so they don’t get cold.

Re: I can’t cope

LOL, you give the squishmallows to the dogs @Captain24 . The youngest one here holds them to sleep.
