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 ooohhh yummy 😋. I like little bits of chicken, don't like big chunks 😂.

You're here for more than that sweet, you're a really good friend here and i enjoy our chats. We've been through tough times and lighter times together, it's a meaningful connection ☺️.

Re: I can’t cope

@Captain24 I do give hugs pretty frequently haha but I didn't think it was that much of a pattern! Also sometimes I think I have enough time to come back and do another round of notifications but the time blindness does catch up to me - especially if I end up having to attend to something elsewhere 😅 Suddenly it's like 10pm and I'm scratching my head cos of how quickly the time goes!

Do you notice time blindness impact you much? Like I always think it's gonna take a LOT less time than it actually does to do stuff, like writing an email. I'll be typing away thinking 10 minutes have passed but then look at the clock and nope, that's 40 min goneski 🤣

I mean it's not like you lost the jacket or you were careless or anything!! Hopefully it doesn't take too long, like I imagine they're machine embroidered and not like... 'Oh we have to wait till Mike can hand stitch your name onto a new one' 😝

Understandable, and hope the post gets enough attention!

Even a solid double bricked wall is eventually taken down like any other - one brick at a time. Can you think of some good bits from the past day, or week? Like having chats with our lovely @MissGremlin !! Always brightens my day 😉💜

Awwww @Jynx, you give me the warm fuzzies ❤️. I count myself lucky when I get to chat with you as I know how busy it gets around here at times.

Chatting to @Captain24 definitely brightens my days ☺️

That’s why I get the stir fry and not he diced! I don’t like the big chunks either. @MissGremlin

It is a good connection and I’ve managed to not push you away yet so that’s a bonus!

Hows dinner going?

Re: I can’t cope

@Captain24 big chunks are just icky 😂.

Trust me, you won't push me away.

Dinner is done, eaten and the dishes washed.

It is a pattern. I see it all over the place! 😂 @Jynx . That’s why I thought you were annoyed at me as you said the best thing is to go to bed and not even a good night . 😜

Yes I totally get time blindness. It can catch up on me. Even just now it was 5:20 and 10 minutes later it’s 6:40. I’ve just been concentrating on diamond art and had no idea! It does depend on what I’m doing though. It does happen a little bit. My alarm went off this morning for my 11 am meds and I wondered what it was as I had no idea of the time!

Yeah, they usually come pretty quick. I went to Bunnings today and got a heavy duty padlock for gate. Then I’m going to go out next pay day and look at cameras.

Chats have been good and supporting through tough situations. Doing diamond art has been a distraction. I don’t know what else though. There doesn’t seem to be a lot of good. I tossed and turned all night last night and woke up at every little noise. I sleep through severe thunderstorms! So I’m extremely tired right now. I’m trying but I don’t know.

We are going to work on breaking it down but it will be hard and met with resistance in my mind. Not deliberately though.

How was your day?

Re: I can’t cope

I’m glad dinner is done. 10 minutes ago it was 5:20 and the I was starving and looked at the time it was after an hour later. I’m going to go and heat it up now. @MissGremlin

Hows things going?

Re: I can’t cope

@Captain24 haha i know them feels, time runs away with me 😂. I'm glad you're going to heat it up now.

I just managed to avoid a trip out cos my friend has decided to do it for me so I'll see her again about 9.15pm then I can get ready for bed after that. Things are feeling pretty heavy and my head is pounding, hoping to sit down and do some diamond art soon.

Re: I can’t cope

Dinner done and now to take my meds and feed the dogs later and that’s everything done. @MissGremlin

This grass that I’m doing has so many different greens in it and they are just scattered all over the place. It takes a lot of concentration by the time I’m about halfway I have no idea where I’m up to. This 50cm wide thing isn’t a really good idea I don’t think! 🤔 The 40 high is manageable. It’s been a good distraction though.

Im glad you can get to bed sooner. Just to be able to rest. Sorry that it’s heavy. Have you taken pain relief or not comfortable with that, yes read between the lines!

Re: I can’t cope

@Captain24 I'm glad you've done dinner and don't have much more to go now before bed.

Oh I know those sections well, it's crazy when it's all scattered. I think I'm sticking to the 30×40cm ones 😂. I at least want to try to keep a bit of my sanity 😂. Glad it's been a good distraction though.

I'll still be up doing things until about 10pm unfortunately but at least I avoid the 2 trips out. I have taken a few lots of pain relief today but sadly nothing has helped and I'm really trying to not take anymore, think I just need to sleep this one off.
