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

My team is really good. My psych is fantastic, expensive but fantastic. She really knows and understands and I have the trust in her that she will get me well and I’ll know what well feels like. @Anonymouse1000

It’s hard when they don’t listen. There has to be better days ahead. This can’t be our normal.

Re: I can’t cope

@Captain24 please don't feel guilty, I'm so thankful that you have support cos noone should have to go through this alone. Whilst I know there's a strength deep within me, I'm not sure it's enough to pull me through this unless I can get proper support (I'm safe).

Re: I can’t cope

The patient that just went in had an appointment at 3. Then there is 4 people in front of me. My anxiety is rising. I was ok coming here after chatting to my psych but waiting around is not helping. I’m so tired that I could just fall asleep in the chair.

Re: I can’t cope

@Captain24 it would be a hard thing to swallow if this was our normal. Considering I have been better before...

Re: I can’t cope

I’ve just been talking to a man this whole time. @MissGremlin. So he has been distracting. I just got a call from the vet as it was my turn so I let the guy that was next to go. So I’m sitting in the medical centre with no other patients around!

My anxiety isn’t to bad as just chatting helped.

Re: I can’t cope

@Captain24 I'm really glad that chatting to him was a helpful distraction. How did the phone call with the vet go sweet?

Re: I can’t cope

It was t what the vet was looking for as it’s really inconsistent. But we think that maybe the missed doses she has had with not being able to inject her properly. She has to be retested in 4 weeks. At this stage she doesn’t want to increase the insulin dose. @MissGremlin

Re: I can’t cope

@Captain24 it can be hard to get the dose in especially as it's still very new for the both of you. Hopefully it gets easier and the testing in 4 weeks gives a clearer result.
