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

@Captain24 haha now that's different but nothing I'm not used to when I used to live on a farm 😂.

I'll reply to your other post later sweet, just on my way to a meeting.

Re: I can’t cope

I’m waiting outside the room for my psych appointment. I’m feeling really anxious. I usually do when I see her in person but this could be hard with how I’m going.

Im also stressing because I’ve just been to the beach and got hit by a wave so my shorts are all wet so I’m going to have to sit on the floor which is not comfortable.

I did see a couple of facilitators that I know and they both said that I look well… my face it tanned so everyone always says that. I really wanted to tell them that if I was able to I’d actually be in here as a patient. Now that I’m here I really wish I was.

Re: I can’t cope

I’m sitting in the car trying not to cry. @MissGremlin It was really hard but explained a lot of things. I nearly cried on her. She gave me a hug at the end which was really nice but has nearly broken me. I have to drive the 4 hours home yet

The beach didn’t do it for me like it normally does.

I need to call myself down. It’s not safe to drive.

Re: I can’t cope

@Captain24 oh sweetheart, I'm here with you ❤️.

Can you pause for a moment, is there something you can focus on that's around you, something that's soothing or calming?

Re: I can’t cope

I’m just listening to the wind in the trees. @MissGremlin. I really need to go to the toilet though so I might just walk back in and go.

I have to get home. I can call into Cole’s and get a drink before I head off. Something cold.

Re: I can’t cope

@Captain24 listening to the wind in the trees is good. Going back in to the toilet is a good idea especially when you have a long drive.

A nice cold drink sounds perfect, what are you thinking of getting?

Re: I can’t cope

I just got a cold can of monster. @MissGremlin Its a shame that due to my adhd it doesn’t have the same effects as others but it is really cold and that’s part of my safety plan.

Just having a smoke and then I think I’m calm enough to drive.

Re: I can’t cope

@Captain24 I'm glad something cold is part of your safety plan. You've done so well to do things to help calm down sweet, I'm proud of you. Hope the drive home goes smoothly and safely ❤️
