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.

Just the block and home and away. @AuntGlow

They were excited and now they are asleep.

I guess most of the day was a glimmer. Seeing the 3 sisters for the first time since I was about 7. Going in the things at scenic world especially the worlds steepest train. Just even driving there we were talking about how we live in a beautiful part of the country.

Re: I can’t cope

Why is it so hard to cope after such a good day? Yesterday was really good travelling to Katoomba and spending the day out with mum. She is a trigger but most of the day was ok with her until the last 45 minutes of the drive home when she had to one up me against my brother.

Today is really hard. I’m tired and totally unmotivated. I’m feeling really down and out. I just want to curl up and forget that I exist. It’s all too much to face.

I have managed to do the ironing and clean the disgrace of a kitchen but it was so hard and that’s all I can do. I had to force myself and now I just feel exhausted.

I really feel worthless and ungrateful that I feel so bad again today. Not everyone could do what I did yesterday. I’ve got nothing.

Am I just a selfish horrible person?

I know it’s nothing compared to what everyone else is going through. While I’m feeling like I don’t want to be alive right now I know it’s not as important as everyone else. I’m not worth as much as them.

I'm safe right now.
