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’m just feeling a little let down right now. @AuntGlow It’s hard to be able to say when I’ll get judgement from others. But I have learnt what’s more important.

Re: I can’t cope

I would like to but to much judgement. @AuntGlow

I’ve had a pretty good day but now I’ve crashed. I’m a little, well a lot, disappointed in takes.

Re: I can’t cope

Did you get much sleep last night @Captain24 ? Sorry if you have already shared this above. I haven't read back yet.

I know last night you said you were really tired.

Did you try 2 x your ADHD med today?

Re: I can’t cope

Yeah I finally got 8 hours of sleep. It was really nice. I did wake up a few times though so it was interrupted sleep. @tyme especially since my sleep had been so bad.

Yeah I took two. One in the morning and one in the afternoon. I’m feeling really low right now though.

Re: I can’t cope

Any thoughts about why you might be feeling so low at the moment? Is it just a feeling or did something happen @Captain24 ?

I think it's always good to separate the two.

Re: I can’t cope

Something did make me feel a little disheartened. Plus I have money trouble at the moment. Which is on my mind constantly. @tyme If I’m busy I don’t think about the money.

The disheartened hurts a little. But that’s my own fault. I expect too much I guess.

Re: I can’t cope

Financials are tough @Captain24 .

I don't think anything is about 'fault', but more that we are all learning. If we can reframe that to "I'm learning", then the "fault" idea won't be weighing you down as much.

There's a lot of change happening for you, so it's important you've got people to reach out to and connect with who can challenge some of these deep seated belief systems.

I believe in you and I know you can do it. It's a rough patch, but you are doing your best - you can't do any more than your best.

Do you think part of this is to do with returning to work?
