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 still not feeling great, my body is constantly shaking, I can't stand for long without getting giddy. I've allowed my body to rest today but I think it's just going to take time for everything to be out of my system. I'm at my first destination and need to go into the shops after so I'll be taking things very slowly.

How are you feeling sweet?

Re: I can’t cope

Can you shop for a couple of days? Saves going again? @MissGremlin

I barely sleep as I tried the new mask and I don’t like it. I’ve been to the physio and then went to the chemist to try another mask, I’ve cleaned the ensuite and the parts of the kitchen that I’m not using. I’ve cooked lunches for work and done those dishes. I’ve mown the front lawn, had a bath and have done lots of doom scrolling. I’m thinking of going for a nap. I’ve got bags under my eyes. I still have to cook dinners for the next few days as well.

Re: I can’t cope

@Captain24 I plan on getting a few days so that I don't have to go out again until Sunday.

I'm sorry that you barely slept sweet, hoping the mask you got today is better for you tonight. You've done so well to still get things done today and a nap sounds like a perfect idea.

Re: I can’t cope

It was ok. My phone kept going off though. Messenger after messenger of crap that was just annoying. @MissGremlin

Re: I can’t cope

I did get an email from my psych though @MissGremlin @Nala2022 @AuntGlow @Jynx

Also, I was just doing the notes from our session this week. I just want to reiterate how impressive the change is that you're starting to see & how it's starting to seep into more and more parts of your life. I can see your confidence growing in so many areas. We know there will still be ups and downs because they are a normal part of life and this journey, but they won't erase what you have achieved (maybe eclipse it sometimes, but can't erase).

I'm so proud of you and I'm so excited to witness the new life that is starting to unfold for you 💜
