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.

@Captain24 it sucks when the thoughts creep in, I'm here for you sweet. I'm doing my diamond art and I've got a TV show playing in the background.

Re: I can’t cope

I’ve just fed Pix and finishing off watching home and away and then I’m thinking I might go to bed. @MissGremlin What tv show?

@Captain24 that sounds like a perfect plan. I'm watching true blood at the moment.

Re: I can’t cope

I’m pretty tired especially considering I didn’t have a sleep today @MissGremlin. Hopefully I will get to sleep quickly.

Do you stay up long doing diamond art or do you go to sleep?

@Captain24 really hoping you fall asleep quickly sweet. You've done so well today.

I stay up for quite a while doing it. Usually don't start getting sleepy until after midnight.

I’m just going to go and get ready now. @MissGremlin. I don’t know how you stay up so late. I don’t function! 😜 I’m sorry to leave you though.

@Captain24 sorry to hear you didn't have a great sleep hun, but glad you got to secure some groceries at a not-so-overwhelming hour!

That feels a little good. Stupid how the small things matter

I would say it's the opposite of 'stupid'. Honestly, the little things count for soooo much more than we often give them credit. Recovery is often the accumulation of a lot of little changes, little wins, little improvements; far moreso than some grand, transformative event.

It's why I think ChasingSunsets' thread is so important and so helpful to many 😊

Re: I can’t cope

I can’t imagine you grocery shopping at 6:15 in the morning @Jynx !

It was a little win. There were about 4 customers in the whole supermarket.

I just had another win. I have had a shower and that’s the third day in a row that I have showered. Pretty amazing feat.

Im going to say good night. I hope you get in nature over the weekend. I’m guessing you won’t be around?

Re: I can’t cope

Not unless I'd been up all night @Captain24 🤣

Oh nice one!! Definitely worth a little celebration, good on you!!

I saw this meme once that went something like 'if we can be hard on ourselves for every tiny mistake, we should also commend ourselves for every tiny success'. It's a good habit to get into, celebrating, relishing, and enjoying the little things 😊

Aye I will be taking a wee break!! But there's be plenty of folks around to chat to still, I'm sure 😉
