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

Fingers crossed @Captain24

I know it's just another thing to deal with right now, there's been so much on your plate. It's pretty amazing that you have been holding it together, and I know that's been taking a lot of energy to do, so it makes sense that there'll be days like today when you can't keep it together quite so well.

I'm finishing up soon but just want to remind yourself to gentle with yourself and know that days like this suck but they don't undo all the hard work you've done

Re: I can’t cope

I know you’ve gone @Ru-bee but I’m responding anyway.

I’ve been suppressing so much by pushing so hard. I think things just got all too much. My barriers fell and I can’t hold them up. I’m falling with them and I’m falling fast.

Im trying to be gentle but the thoughts are loud and dark. I’m trying to watch a movie and just keep slipping into the darkness.

Re: I can’t cope

I’m falling apart @tyme

I did change my bed linen and bath the dogs though. It took a lot to be able to do it. I slept most of the afternoon.

My world is just crashing down around me.

Re: I can’t cope

I don’t know @tyme. I’m cooking myself steak for dinner so I’m trying to eat a decent meal. I’m about to watch another movie. I just can’t get those dark thoughts out of my head. I am trying though, I’m trying self care but it’s not working.

I know this is not recovery focused so you can delete an forget about me if you want.

How do you like your steak?

Hoenstly, if a movie helps with the thoughts, by all means, go ahead.

Re: I can’t cope

I like my steak dead. @tyme. I don’t do even the slightest of pink.

I’ve never really had much pork. Mum always said I wouldn’t like it so that’s kinda stuck in my head and I don’t really eat it. A lot of my eating has come from that. They told me I wouldn’t eat a lot of things. Meals were just meat mash potato and pumpkin (together!) and peas and corn kernels.

Im watching it.

How did you go with the last sticky note?
