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 in a cubicle but being constantly watched by a security guard. I didn't need to end up in hospital, not like this (I'm safe).

Thankyou for being here sweet ❤️

Re: I can’t cope

I know you didn’t want this. I had a security guard sitting outside the padded room I was locked in but I didn’t need medical treatment. @MissGremlin

At least you a safe and being treated. Is your friend looking after things?

Re: I can’t cope

@Captain24 unfortunately I do need medical treatment at the moment.

Not yet, I haven't messaged her.

Re: I can’t cope

Does anyone know you are there? Did you tell people when you left? @MissGremlin

Yhays good. Are you telling anyone else other than your friend? @MissGremlin

Are the staff talking to you?

Re: I can’t cope

@Captain24 I've had doctors and nurses come in and the social worker. Depending on how long I'm here for will depend on if I tell anyone.

Re: I can’t cope

That’s far. I wouldn’t either @MissGremlin my case manager new as it was on my record and my GP. I didn’t tell anyone but I did get let out early hours of the morning.

Im glad people are talking to you and you had a social worker. That’s good that they are treating you both ways.

Re: I can’t cope

@Captain24 it was police that came first and then they called the ambulance, they came fast as my heart rate was 181. The police said that they're going to organise for the mental health worker they have to call me to hopefully get support.

I'm feeling so drained and my head feels weird (I'm safe). I was playing a mini yahtzee game earlier. I've got a few things here to do, diamond art, miniblocks, colouring, cards and word search.

Re: I can’t cope

I hope they can @MissGremlin it's good that they came first then. If they can try and find something.

Im glad you had time to pack some things. They nearly didn’t let me get out of my pj’s and followed me to my room and stood there watching me while I got dressed. It was a female paramedic at least. They wanted me out and wouldn’t leave me by myself. It was horrible.

No one came near me after the doctor asked if I was sad! The Ed was empty. I was the only one in there and not a word was spoken.

i tried to connect on here and had not. No mods or anything. This is why I am staying with you. You don’t need to be alone and freaking out. At least you have someone to freak out too.
