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.

Hey @MissGremlin

Don't worry about that. There is no understanding of the last few weeks.

Re: I can’t cope

@BAO no I'm ok. I do reach out to crisis lines when I need to.

Re: I can’t cope

@Captain24 it's just hard trying to manage everything especially with being so unwell. I'm cooking dinner at the moment, hoping I might be able to eat a burger.

Re: I can’t cope

That’s not going to get any better until you do something about it. You have exhausted all external sources. @MissGremlin

Maybe just the respite might help. I guess you just have to see what you can and can’t do.

A burger sounds good. I haven’t decided.

Re: I can’t cope

@Captain24 I was talking to my support worker about the possibilities of going to a psychiatric place during the big holidays. Then being able to try medications while there to find something that works but being closely monitored while doing so. I don't feel comfortable trying any other medications at home given what keeps happening with the severe reactions to them.

Re: I can’t cope

That sounds like a really good idea! @MissGremlin. I really hope that you can make that work! They can help you through the side effects and get you past them before you leave. It might make a world of difference.

Re: I can’t cope

@Captain24 I'm really hoping I can work it out, I'm going to talk to my doctor about it on Tuesday.

I'm so close to being finished with the diamond art but the last 2 sections are taking forever 😂.

Re: I can’t cope

That sounds like a plan. Get prepared and all your ducks in a row. @MissGremlin

They always seem too! I’m almost finished this section but I’m going to put it down now and cook dinner and watch some tv! O think I’d have it finished in under an hour but I need to be about moderation not just diamond art! I’m not sure I’ll get any done tomorrow with doing housework in the morning and their lawn in the afternoon. Then I’ll have a bath so I’ll see what happens.

Anything on tomorrow?

Re: I can’t cope

@Captain24 yes everything needs to be planned.

What are you going to have for dinner? The diamond art will still be there for you when you can do some. I wish I could just sit and finish this one but I've got dishes to get done and then bedtime routine.

I've got nothing on tomorrow but I'll need to go to the shops at some stage.

Re: I can’t cope

I’m going all out. I’m having chicken schnitzel with veggies and garlic bread. I got those back at home rolls! I also put and extra one on to have for lunch tomorrow on a roll! @MissGremlin i have to do this so I’m hoping I’m able to manage it.

Maybe you can finish it tomorrow. It’s so annoying going to the shops. I’m loving my delivery and now that I’ve discovered you can get it for free it’s even better!

I only have to get some fresh stuff and I should have enough food to get me through until I go on holidays.
