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

He use to be one of the higher bosses. He thinks that she is out to prove a point. Im hoping he is wrong. @tyme

Im hoping he is the one catastrophising!

I don’t know if there is any grounds. I think it would be discrimination.

I only got into that machine once and they never put me in it again.

I have so much fear. Im shaking. Im on the verge of tears. I will lose everything. If they do sack me then I can only see one way out.

Let's take a big deep breath. @Captain24 .

Breathe in for 4 seconds....hold for 2....then breathe out for 8.

And again.

And again.

And again.

Repeat 4 times.

Re: I can’t cope

Thank you! @tyme My heart rate is now down to 85. I forget in a crisis

I need to calm down and stop stressing about what I can’t change. I am usually a believer that god doesn’t give you what you can’t handle. I need to try an remember that.

Re: I can’t cope

I really need to give you a super duper hug @Captain24 .

I believe in you.

Radical acceptance - to accept that which you cannot change.

We cannot change what has happened tonight. Go into HR with clear lenses, not tainted by what the former boss has spoken. I have found that otherwise, if you go in dreading and expecting the worst, you end up behaving in a manner that warrants the worst e.g. self sabotage in a way?

Re: I can’t cope

What I wouldn’t do for a super duper hug right now! @tyme and I’m not even someone who usually wants one!

I’ve shown myself how strong I can be so I need to use it.

I never thought of it as self sabotage before. I just have to wait it out. I see the GP Thursday and she has to email HR so I should know by Friday hopefully and then go back the following Monday.

Im going to bed to hopefully get some sleep or things will go down hill even more.

Thank you so much for tonight. Again!!
Im sorry to be difficult. I feel like it’s a all the time lately
