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 I'm sitting on my lounge snuggled up with Casper.

Thankyou sweet, I'm really hoping something good comes out of the appointment today.

Re: I can’t cope

@Captain24 I'm sitting up at my doctors surgery now, I'm very anxious and being 5th in queue is not helping. Just reminding myself to breathe and keeping connected here.

Sorry, I was in the phone. @MissGremlin

Waiting is so hard. Have you been seen yet?

Re: I can’t cope

@Captain24 It was hard but i have a medication to try, he's going to organise a sleep study, he's been in contact with the psychology place so he's hoping they make contact and he's going to do another referral to a place to request telehealth support as it clearly offers it on their website and they agreed to it previously. I have another appointment in 2 weeks.

I'm exhausted now, I'm laying on my lounge, snuggled up with Casper.

Re: I can’t cope

I’m guessing it was really hard. You had a lot to go through. I’m glad he is organising a sleep study. Sleep will make a massive difference. @MissGremlin

What kind of medication?

Re: I can’t cope

@Captain24 the medication is an alpha-blocker primarily prescribed to treat high blood pressure, relieve urinary obstruction from an enlarged prostate (obviously not relevant for me 😂) and reduce trauma-related nightmares associated with PTSD.

There's a Google description without saying the name. I have to start with ½ a tablet for 1 week and then move to 1 tablet and then we can increase from there if need be.

Re: I can’t cope

It’ll take a while for it to work, especially the prostate part 😜 @MissGremlin but at least it’s something to try. Don’t try and start the full dose until it’s time. I know you have severe trouble with nausea but please continue it. I really hope it works for you.

Im just sitting here waiting for my psych.

I hope he can get you into a psych to see. It’s pretty urgent and I want you to be able to talk to someone and Telehealth is the best way. Is it phone or on screen?
