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

It’s a good exhausted but I’m not sure how long I’ll be up tonight. @MissGremlin. Ove had my shower and now running the bath. After that I’ll dry my hair and get me some dinner and I’ll be good to go!

I can’t wait for you to see them.

Re: I can’t cope

@Captain24 it's ok if you can't stay up tonight sweet, i know you would be exhausted after today. Hoping the bath helps you to both be less sore and relax.

I'm about to start dinner here, I just finished the section i was working on.

Re: I can’t cope

I’ve put salt on the bath which is good for muscles @MissGremlin i also have an electrolyte drink and my white noise. Should be calming!

What’s for dinner?

Re: I can’t cope

@Captain24 it sounds like it will be very calming.

Dinner is either wraps or butter chicken.

Re: I can’t cope

I just got out @MissGremlin. I’m so tired and could go to bed now! It was so good. I should do it more often. Especially now I clean the main bathroom weekly and clean the bath tub while I’m there so all I have to do is run the water not clean it first!

Im just sitting feeling relax and don’t want to do anything but I have to go and dry my hair and cook dinner.

You have butter chicken a lot. Is it for you or for everyone?

Re: I can’t cope

@Captain24 I haven't had a bath for many, many years 😂. I'm glad you don't have to clean it first, could definitely be good to have one more often.

I get just wanting to sit and relax but having to get up to do things.

Me and one other. Wraps for the others.

Re: I can’t cope

@Captain24 it's completely ok to just sit and watch TV for a while, the other things can wait. You deserve a rest after everything you've done today sweet.

I've finished cooking dinner and even watched the saucepan, frypan and oven tray up already.

Re: I can’t cope

@Captain24 hehe yes you do 😂. I'm not even sure how long I'll be able to stay awake for, I'm feeling so tired.

I've already done my teeth and hair and most of the dishes are done just a couple that I'm still waiting for.

I can't wait to be able to sit in bed.
