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.

@Jynx i have conversations with him as it is 😂.

Yes indeed it is. Thankyou ❤️.

Initially I was glad that it was cancelled but then it hit me that I desperately needed that support after everything that's happened within the last week.

I'm constantly questioning what's so wrong with me that noone wants to help me. Then all the heavy feelings and thoughts set in and it's alot to sit with. I've tried so hard to get help, pushing myself to make phone calls to seek support, writing emails when I struggle to know what to say, I've poured my heart out to places and been open and honest in how I'm feeling and thinking but yet noone will try to help.

I'm safe, sitting in bed with Casper, watching a TV show and doing my diamond art.


Chatting to our pets just feels natural hey!

Have you been able to catch up with your SW since last week @MissGremlin?

Human brains like to solve problems, and when the problems are external and seem to make no sense, feel unfair, or feel unsolvable, it's easy to then try to look inward, to blame ourselves or want to figure out what could be wrong with us to not get the support we need.

It sucks so much, but systemic issues are far more frequently to blame, and whilst I know this doesn't make your situation any different, I hope you can try to remind yourself that you are not wrong or broken, and you deserve to feel like you're worthy of care. Because you are, and you don't need to be or have done anything to deserve that chance, other than the fact you're a person.

Hope you and Casper are doing okay today 💜

Oh no! COVID! @Captain24

That's rats! How many times have you had it?

I got my covid booster and flu vax about 2 weeks ago.

COVID is bad. Since having the booster, I don't get covid as badly. When I first got it, I felt like I was drowning in my own lungs!

DO pain killers keep you awake? Arent' they supposed to make you drowsy?

As for the depression, I hope it doesn't last. Is it medication-related in that you still have so many ups and downs?

Re: I can’t cope

@Jynx it most definitely does!

Unfortunately no i haven't been able to catch up with her and won't get to until Wednesday and that's only if the weather is ok.

Thankyou, it helps to be reminded of that. It's just hard when it's happening time and time again, that's why I keep finding myself questioning what I did wrong.

Today's been a bit all over the place but I've been enjoying staying connected here with @Captain24 (there's that word again) and now building Lego with nightfury ☺️. Casper is his crazy, happy usual self ☺️

@Captain24 fingers crossed the approval comes through!!

I'm hearing how much the exhaustion is getting you at the moment. It's rough when we feel like we can't catch up on rest.

Sounds like a really good plan, to truly just have the time to yourself. I hope you can spend the time nourishing yourself in the ways that matter to you - creativity, nature, and long snoozles!! 😊

I know.. no wonder my migraine wouldn’t go away and I was so sick. It turns out I actually did well to get to work both nights and do the whole shift the first night. I was planning on doing it the second night be he saw me and sent me home! @tyme

I’ve lost count, around 10 I think.

I’ve never had it that bad. This one is a good dose but I do t usually get the chesty part. Just that painful headache and the extreme fatigue. I do have a runny nose and a sore throat as well.

Yeah they do. Sometimes if I take some over the counter ones when I’m trying to sleep they help relax my body to get to sleep but no pain killer puts me to sleep!

Im on cold and flu tablets at the moment the ones you have to show your license for and they are the only thing keeping my headache at bay until they start wearing off. But those ones don’t send my high or give me any energy like they do for other people!

Nah not medication related. I think we are close with that. It’s just the cycle. But it’s not as bad as it has been so apparently that means I’m moving forward. It’s just the way bipolar works. Supposedly the depression will get shorter and the good times eventually longer but it’s something I will always have.

How are you going?

Re: I can’t cope

I’m waiting for it. I keep checking the app to see if he has done it! @Jynx

The exhaustion of the last few days I’ve discover is Covid! No wonder my ‘migraine’ wouldn’t go and I was just so tired. I am exhausted anyway and have been for a while and do need to just stop and reset. I spent most of yesterday in bed and then slept 11 hours and 50 minutes last night. I haven’t been doing much today but I did just push myself past my limits and now the backyard. The grass was just too long. Pix was getting wet going outside.

I will just rest and do what feels right at the time. If I do t want to leave the house I won’t. If I just want to sit and watch tv I will. If I just want to lay in bed I will. I do want to try doing some lego and see if the spark is back but other than that I will just take each day as it comes.

How are you?

Re: I can’t cope

I did notice that word again @MissGremlin !

I was just really stupid and whipper snippered and mowed my whole backyard. It’s not great but looks so much better. Just the front tomorrow and that’ll take about half an hour. Plus I have to go to the markets and get some bones for the dogs. I think I can manage the day quite easily tomorrow. Not too much to do and most of my list will be done. Loving these cold and flu tablets!

My head is pounding and I am shaking. I’m about to go and have a shower and put my pyjamas on.

How’s the Lego going?

Re: I can’t cope

@Captain24 oh sweet, be careful you don't overdo it. You've done so well but I think it's rest time now until bedtime. I'm glad you've got the cold and flu tablets and I hope they help to ease the headache and shaking. A shower and pjs sounds perfect.

We got the honey pot done ☺️.

Re: I can’t cope

That’s so cool!!! @MissGremlin. Lots of detail in it. I love Lego.

I’ve just taken some more. I did just get a silly girl text from my mum. She also said if I was tired tomorrow to leave the front. Maybe I will as it’s not important but I’ll see.

Was the connection good? Does it help distract you being with someone?
