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

Yes, it can be exhausting to stick to the self help routine but more exhausting when you slip (after awhile). Sending strength to keep the routine going @Captain24 Xx

Re: I can’t cope

I had the energy while I was try to keep the mania under control @Former-Member. Today it’s a struggle but I didn’t sleep well last night so I have to do better with my sleep tonight.

Also I have the work Christmas party tomorrow and there will be about 40 people. For the first time in 2 years I am actually going. But my social phobia is really starting to creep in. Part of me wants to take extra of my anxiety meds but it may put me back into a manic episode.

Re: I can’t cope

Hmmmm. Hard to know what to do. Maybe weigh it up tomorrow? How long do the meds take to come into effect @Captain24? Is it something you could take when there if it was too much? Don't put any extra or unnecessary pressure on yourself Xx

Re: I can’t cope

I’d have to take it tonight and I do have meds to bring the mania back down. Maybe I should just tough it out.

Anyway! I spent for 8:30-2:30 in the sun today and thought of you @Former-Member! I was only doing gardening though and I hate it with a passion!

How have you been? How’s the kids? Hope you have been able to get a swim in

Re: I can’t cope

I had a little to much sunshine! @Former-Member My skin is telling me so.

It sucks that it was cold!

I’ll put my big girl pants on tomorrow and just suck the anxiety up and tackle the party head on! I can do it! That’s what I’m trying to convince myself anyway.

Re: I can’t cope

I had pasta for dinner and have just put aloe Vera gel on but yes I’m still hot @Former-Member. I’m so burnt!

I’m beyond tired. I’ve done my whole meds, shower, hot chocolate and set my room temperature so I’m going to head to bed.

Thank you for tonight. I’m going to bed in a comfortable mental space. Thank you

Hope you have a great weekend!

Re: I can’t cope

So I started new medication last night for mood stabilisation but I’m still on the full dose of the other mood one. I have woken up with a headache and feeling really nauseous.

I also have the work Christmas party at 12 and my social phobia is in overdrive. The anxiety is so bad. On top off this feeling off doesn’t help. I don’t know if I can do this.
