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

Not really. @tyme Shopping only takes 15 mins. I’m in the country remember! Lol Bathing Pix is about 30 mins and that includes blow drying her. There isn’t much of her. It’s the most I’ve done in days.

Now I’m really tired. It’s like I’m physically sick. I feel as though I have spent an entire day flat out. I have nothing left. 12.5hr shifts are going to be really hard for the next 2 days and 1 night. I’m calling in sick for the last one.

Sorry I can see your pantry to help. Your ideas earlier sounded good.

Just spent another afternoon in bed. This isn’t living.

Hey @Captain24 - can I say to enjoy it while you can? You have 2 days of 12 hr shifts. I hear it sounds frustrating that you 'spent the afternoon in bed', but isn't that okay? You went to the shops, you prepared lunches, you washed Pixie.

You've done a lot!

Re: I can’t cope

I guess that’s a better way of looking at it @tyme. I have done a bit more today than the last couple of days. Normally I do way more today but I guess I’m different at the moment. I need to consider that. Plus my bed is where I know I’ll be safe.

Thank you

Re: I can’t cope

I'm having salmon and avocado sushi @Captain24 - yum!

And yes, to me, you do sound very productive.

Are you going anywhere over the Christmas/New Year break? Or do you have to work?

Re: I can’t cope

Yum. I love sushi but it has to be chicken or prawn and with cucumber! @tyme I’m a very fussy eater.

Usually I clean the entire house change sheets and doona cover and mow the lawns too. So for me it’s not productive.

I’m suppose to finish on the morning of the 23rd and go back on the 28th. Christmas lunch is at mums and night is at mine. So new years I’ll be on night shift. I gave up on new years a long time ago. All that matters to me is Christmas.

Do you have any plans or time off?
