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

Good evening @Captain24,

Yes, all or nothing - a blessing and a curse. 😅

I understand needing to be physically busy to slow things down mentally too... it's so tough to balance and the burnout is real.

Good question! Softening into action could look like allowing yourself to do what you need without the push of the inner critic or frantic/rushed action. So, literally working to slow things down and gently encourage yourself to move with intention. I am working on this at the moment, so we can help each other?

I am so glad you have a good vet you can trust, that must be really reassuring.

Just to address your recent message: I can hear there is a part of you that's feeling vulnerable tonight and like you have to hide and can't be yourself... what do they need right now to feel safe and seen? 💛

I finished one off today too.

Im glad you are relaxing, you deserve a rest. You do so much. Did you get your vaccines?

I’ve done heaps of housework this morning as well as everything else so I’m a little sore now and can tell that I’ve over done it but generally it’s a lot better. It’s no where near as bad as it was.

I have tomorrow off, a training day Tuesday and back to work Wednesday. So I really should take it easy tomorrow after I finish all the housework! I need to not have any pain when I get back to work as it’s going to hurt it.

Hey @Captain24 !

Long time no see.

What's happening for you?
