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.

Now you are free until tonight. I’m glad the shops are done @MissGremlin At least you don’t have to leave the house again.

What do you have planned now?

Re: I can’t cope

@Captain24 it's a yummy meal.

I've never actually had Thai food but yay for having leftovers.

Re: I can’t cope

It’s easy. Just cook up some chicken, throw a jar of sauce in and cook the rice! @MissGremlin. I’ve got 2 Indian jars in the pantry and I’ll make one of them for work.

I love Thai food. Then one of my birthdays mum and dad said they would take me there for dinner. The only problem was that they didn’t eat Thai food. So I ordered them meals that were suitable for them and now they have Thai all the time and even try different things!

Re: I can’t cope

@Captain24 yes it's such an easy meal. Though I don't like cutting up chicken 😂. Sounds like a perfect meal for work.

Haha that's awesome that they have Thai now and that they try different things.

Just wanted to say thankyou so much for today and especially earlier when I crumbled. I really wasn't ok and things got pretty bad, I didn't say it on here though. But having you here really helped get me through a moment that I could only see one way out of. I'm safe and cooking dinner.

Re: I can’t cope

I just checked and I’ve got butter chicken and mango chicken! @MissGremlin. I buy the already cut stir fry strips! I do have to then some of them but it beats cutting it all up!

That’s ok. That’s what I’m here for. Help you get through whatever you need in that moment. I’m glad chatting has helped you though.
