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 sorry that they weren't very nice.

I'm sitting here doing diamond art while things are noisy and chaotic here. Really need quiet so I can get some rest.

Just think once you've fed the dogs you can snuggle up in bed and get a good night's sleep ❤️.

They usually have more variety. Maybe I need to go in on a weekend. But I tried it and know that I don’t like it. At least I had some veggies! Looking for the positive! @MissGremlin

Do they go to bed soon?

10 minutes and I can do their dinner! I’ve already set the air con so my room is on the right temp. I’ve set up my machine after taking it in today and I have put the water in. All I have to do is climb in! I CANT WAIT!

Re: I can’t cope

@Captain24 you did well to try them and I'm glad you had some veggies.

Yay not long now. It feels so good to be in bed, though it's still not feeling fully safe again yet. You'll be in yours soon and everything is ready to go!

Undressed, white noise on, mask on, light off! Here’s hoping sleep finds us both. @MissGremlin

I really hope you have a good night.

Talk in the morning.

Re: I can’t cope

So it's 4.05am and I still haven't been able to sleep. I feel so incredibly sick, this really is too much. I don't understand why I can't sleep, I close my eyes but nothing happens, I just lay there tossing and turning. The night is going so slow, what feels like ages, has only been a few minutes. I want and need the night to be over already 😞. I'm safe, laying with Casper snuggled up next to me.

Re: I can’t cope

Hey @MissGremlin

I can hear that tonight is a particularly challenging one for you and getting to sleep is feeling like an almost impossible task. I see the effort you are putting in here and I can't even imagine how frustrating, upsetting, overwhelming, and disheartening it must feel to just not be able to sleep despite these efforts. I am sure you have tried many strategies, but I want to share this resource from the sleep foundation that includes some different strategies that might be helpful if you have not yet tried any of these.

Re: I can’t cope

Hello @pangolin, it really has been such a bad night. I just feel completely broken. Thankyou for sharing that, I'll have a look a little later today.
