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

@Captain24 I'm glad that the meds do the trick to keep the worst of it at bay! Hope no one else comes down with it from your workplace... though maybe that's where you got it in the first place eh? 😅

I feel like I already knock enough things over just with my robe and regular Oodie haha dunno if pants are wise 😝

Fan girling over Kylie sounds wonderful!! It's a joy to see you so excited and passionate about something!! Hope you relish in the wonderment 😊💜

I reckon I got it from work @Jynx. We work I. Air tight cans with reverse cycle air conditioning! Not a healthy environment!

I’ll let you know how the pants go when I try them. I reckon they would be better than an Oodie as they fit closer. We’ll see. I’m clumsy too apparently that is an adhd thing!

I do like to take notice of the good things. Try and see some good in my day instead of all depression. I guess that’s something I’m learning. A step forward. I’d have never allowed myself to recognise that before. The moment is usually pretty short lived but at least it’s a moment.

I’m hoping you are getting some sleep @MissGremlin. I’m struggling. I keep waking up. I’m disappointed after last nights sleep. But I do have medication now and maybe that’s what keeps waking me up. I did just wake up with my head ache so I went and took some more.

Just wanted you to know that I was thinking of you.

@Captain24 I've only dozed on and off. Hoping the headache eases for you sweet and maybe you can get a little more sleep.

Thinking of you too sweetheart. Was really hoping you had another good night's sleep.

I was hoping you wouldn’t answer because you were asleep @MissGremlin!

Sorry you are just dozing. Better than nothing I guess.

I think I’m in the back end of it and the extreme fatigue has gone. I thought after mowing the lawn I’d be out like a light. I did fall asleep quickly but just keep waking up.

@Captain24 since 9.23pm when I was completely exhausted and tried to sleep I've only managed 2 hours of very broken sleep. It's enough to drive anyone crazy, well crazier 😂.

I'm glad that the extreme fatigue has gone but waking up many times can be so frustrating and affects the quality of sleep.

Re: I can’t cope

That’s not good at all @MissGremlin. It would be driving me crazier.

I think mine could be the medication. I won’t take it before bed tonight and see how that goes. As it wears off though my headache comes back.

When my mum went to the chemist to get them the girl asked what my symptoms were and when mum said covid the girl just got and then asked if I was old enough. Mum said that she thought I might be. The girl asked how old and mum said 49. The girl said that she thinks I may be old enough and then they both laughed. The pharmacist question I’m and I told mum she should have just said my name and she would have handed them over straight away!

I thought about getting up and doing diamond art but it’s a bit cold coming in the back door where I sit. If it wasn’t so cold I’d bath the dogs to get that out of the way.

Re: I can’t cope

@Captain24 see how it goes tonight but it's hard when the headache comes back as it wears off. Speaking of headache I think i might take some pain relief to hopefully help mine and my body aches.

Haha at least they have a sense of humour 😂. I think we're both definitely past the old enough stage 😂.

It's certainly a bit chilly first thing in the morning and having the cold coming in the back door wouldn't help. Hoping the day warms up a bit for you.

Re: I can’t cope

It’s worth a try to hopefully get some sleep. See what happens. @MissGremlin. I’m wide awake now though.

It’s actually currently 1 degree feels like minus 1.9. Yep a bit chilly 😜. It will warm up as we are heading for 18. We get cold mornings and beautiful days at the moment. We are all in shock with the weather and kinda scared when it does get cold. This is totally unheard of at this time of year. Usually we have well into the minus, even up to -7 and days that don’t reach double digits constantly.

Im thinking maybe I can have a shower, clean it and wash my hair. That would be one thing off my to-do list. But I think the bleach and heat lights may not mix so well! The only other thing I could do is change my bedlinen.

In response to: Re: I can’t cope

Re: I can’t cope

@Captain24 definitely worth a try.

Haha just a tad chilly 😂. It's 8⁰ here so not as cold and i don't really feel it anyway. At least the days have been warm but it always throws things out when the weather isn't as it usually is for the time of year.

A shower and washing your hair sounds like a good idea but I'd be careful about the bleach and heat lamp combination. Changing the bed linen is another good option.

I'm trying to get up to get pain relief, moving feels like so much effort 😂.
