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 appreciate you trying. @Jynx

It just hurts so much. All I’ve done is cry. There is so much more but I can’t say anything.

I don’t even have my psych to help me with everything. My bad mental heath, my cancer worry, my auntie. I’ve got no one.

I don’t want to leave but do I want to keep feeling like this? It keeps happening and it hurts so much. I just keep failing as this keeps happening.

Re: I can’t cope

@Captain24 I get it hun - it feels like rejection, so your body is hurting like you've actually been rejected.

We know there's a lot going on for you, hence why I am hoping you will sleep on it at least. It would suck for you to be down a support, to say the least.

I hope you can see that you're not a 'failure' when you continue to try - and that if you stick with it, maybe soon enough you'll see growth 😊

Re: I can’t cope

It is rejection @Jynx

It would probably make it easier for you all if I left.

I don’t know if I have the time to see growth. Or the ability.

Re: I can’t cope

I don't do this work because it's easy @Captain24 I do it because I believe in it.

I believe in you and your ability to grow, even on the days you don't. Today is no different.

Sleep on it? I'll catch you tomorrow hun, we can chat more then 💜

Re: I can’t cope

If only people would realise but no.. I have to be upbeat and positive.

Maybe I don’t belong. Maybe it is time to leave.

Re: I can’t cope

Hi @Captain24 I’m not venturing far at the moment and being very cautious of what I say. But I just wanted to let you know that I get it. I understand. I’m finding it really challenging too and feeling the feelings you got. I know your not ok but I hope you will be

Re: I can’t cope

I know you are busy @Jynx

Its been told to me today that I need to step away from the forums.

The last email led me to believe that I’m not supposed to have you for support.

So I guess this is it.

Thanks for everything.
