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

That's okay! I am glad you did. ☺️ @Captain24

I like that. Kind is a wonderful quality. How do you like to express your kindness?

Okay, maybe we can start now? What do you think would help you to feel cozy tonight? Try to think sensorily - tea, blankets, showers.

That must feel so good, even when it is scary. 💛

Re: I can’t cope

I did a VIA survey and kindness was one of my qualities. @AuntGlow. I guess just trying to be nice to people. Be caring and checking how they are.

I’m not sure. I guess I can try a shower but it’s hard to get underdressed in the cold. I’ve never tried a blanket. Usually I have dogs on me. I could try a hot lemon and honey drink.

It does feel good but with the thoughts that are slowly surfacing I’m scared to tell her as I don’t want her to judge me or think of me differently.

Do you have anything exciting going on @tyme ?

Re: I can’t cope

That's really lovely. I am sure people appreciate your curiosity and interest very much. I know I do! @Captain24

It is, I get this. 🥶 Wrapping yourself in a blanket could be super helpful! Or maybe even holding a hot water bottle? Hot lemon and honey sound great though.

Oh, I am sure she won't. I get why you may fear this and it's valid. But her job is to be understanding and curious, not judgemental. I was worried about telling my psych things I held shame around, and she was like, 'oh, me too! That's very common.' haha So you never know how someone will react. She will probably be happy you trusted her and just want to support you through it. 💛
