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

I get that @Captain24, it is important to understand what actually happened and without knowing that it would be really confusing. I'm going to reach out over email shortly and we can go over it together.

Re: I can’t cope

Ive just had my Pdoc appointment and come away with an adhd diagnosis which was expected but also an ASD diagnosis. It has been put in my mind recently that I may have it but to hear it is so much different.

Re: I can’t cope

So one diagnosis you were expecting and one you weren't @Captain24 I know it might take a little while to process that information but how's it sitting with you at the moment?

Re: I can’t cope

It does explain why I’m not a nice person and struggle to be caring @Ru-bee. It explains why I struggle with the fallout of being social and when plans don’t go the way I expect. But I’m not sure how I feel about it. The explanation is helpful but it kinda makes me feel uneasy.

Re: I can’t cope

hey again @Captain24! just caught up with the convo, and i see you got your diagnoses! even though you suspected it, it's a lot different once you do have the official diagnosis hey. do take your time to process it.

now you're one step closer to find the right supports/meds for you!

Re: I can’t cope

It is different @rav3n. I start on new meds for adhd tomorrow so if they don’t send me manic they will help with a lot but the stuff that is affected by ASD won’t improve as there is no medication but I’m hoping my psych can help for the next 2 appointments then she is away for 8 weeks. Right when I need her
