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.

Hey @AuntGlow

Im over everything. I am mentally and psychically exhausted. I’m completely depleted. My tank is beyond empty. I’m just shattered. I’ve got nothing.

Re: I can’t cope

@Captain24 sucks that there's not enough sick leave, but i'm glad you've got the next few days off to rest up.

yes exactly, you do need and deserve that rest! hmm would it help to write down (like on the notes app) some reframed sentences so that you can keep reading back if your mind wanders off? like what you mentioned, "that being productive is not the best all and end all" - very very true! our purpose as humans aren't to be productive 24/7 - we human rest, recover, learn, make mistakes, grow, heal, etc.

oh cap, does ironing count as rest? 😆 i think that would be the opposite of rest for me haha but if it feels 'restful' for you, then go ahead! tv could be a nice one, maybe rewatching your fav show like friends?

i do have to hope off soon, hope the rest of your night goes smoothly 💙

hi @Bow! nice to see you around, hope you have a lovely night too 💙

Re: I can’t cope

I can’t rest too much as I’ve got things that I have to do. @rav3n. The lawns need doing and the dogs need bathing.

Ironing isn’t restful but I didn’t even realise I had said that. That’s another part of the pushing myself. The more I do today less to do tomorrow kind of thinking.

Reframes written down sounds possible. I might get my psych to help with that tomorrow. I really know I need to stop and eat. Maybe reading them will help to tell myself that it is ok.

Thanks for today.

Have a good night

I hear you @Captain24.

What is your body asking of you right now? 💛

Re: I can’t cope

I don’t know @AuntGlow.

My body is just worn out. It feels heavy. I feel like when I move I’m dragging it. Even just sitting on the lounge it hurts.

If what I have written in these last two posts isn’t ok just delete them. Feel free to ban me or delete my account. Up to you

Re: I can’t cope

Hmmm, I wonder if you can allow yourself to be where you're at and gently move towards something that feels soothing to end your day? @Captain24
