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.

It was when I was sitting on it too! 😂 It actually helped as well though @MissGremlin

Will your son update you? Or will he only do what your mother says?

Re: I can’t cope

I struggle with balance @hopeful_hannah

Im extremely black and white, all or nothing. I am working on that and can sometimes find the gray but not when distressed.

I was going to have a nap but I don’t want to leave MissGremlin at the moment so I’ll just keep pushing myself to sort stuff out and clean

I'm not sure to be honest.

Hahaha I only had to hang around the house! 😜 @MissGremlin

I really hope he does, it does sound like you have a bit closer relationship with him?

Re: I can’t cope

@Captain24 see if I didn't go out i wouldn't be fussed. I did take Casper out though and walked around the yard.

Yes i do.

You need to rest sweet, I'll be ok, well try my best to be. We can chat again after you've had a nap.

Re: I can’t cope

@Captain24 I'm sure sweet. I know how bad things can get when we get too exhausted and I don't want that happening. So get some much needed and deserved rest and we will chat after. Lots of love and hugs to you beautiful ❤️.

Re: I can’t cope

Thank you for understanding @MissGremlin. I do need it before I escalate any further.

Please know that I’m thinking of you and I hope all is ok. I’m praying for you
