I can’t cope

Captain24Senior Contributor16 June 2022, 9:48 pm AEST

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

So 2 appointments down and 1 to go. I am feeling really good. I think I have finally found the true me. I’m not sad or depressed. I’m not numb and I’m not elevated. It feels pretty good. I just hope the therapist appointment goes well and doesn’t derail me.

Hi @Captain24,

I just read your post - it sounds like you are finding the real you and a happy balance. That is really lovely news. I hope the therapist appointment goes well for you too.

It's nice to hear you are in a good place - I'm really happy for you.

Best wishes,

FloatingFeather

Re: I can’t cope

Thanks for your kind words @FloatingFeather. I’m a little happy for me too.

My therapist was a little surprised too. It was really good. She gave me strategies for dealing with the guy across the road that is making me feel uncomfortable. She also gave me strategies for dealing with the aftermath of the event I have to go to next week.

I have my first dietitian appointment in 2 weeks as well. I am a bit anxious about that. But I will deal with it and get through it. At the moment I have the strength to do it.

As of Friday my MH nurse is going away for 2 weeks. That does concern me as I rely on her a lot! But I need to prove to myself that I’ve got this!

Hi @Captain24

Nice to see you today!

It's understandable you're a bit worried about your MH nurse going away but I know you can do this! I reckon she does too and so do you!

❤️

Re: I can’t cope

Sounds like your therapist has given you some good tools @Captain24 - that is great.

It also sounds like you are in a good headspace and it's lovely to read you are feeling stronger. I understand your concern around your MH going away for a couple of weeks but from what you are saying I agree with you - you've got this 🙂!

Re: I can’t cope

Good to see you too @hanami

It’s so good isn’t it! I have no negative thoughts. I could tell my therapist so

many proud moments I’ve had and so many achievements. I finally feel like I’m becoming a better person. I also don’t hate myself as much. I do hate my body but I guess that will also change with time and a much better diet. Lol

How was your weekend?
