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.

I might have to give them a go then! 😂

I’m glad you’ve got a few things there that are helping keep you occupied, and I hope the rest of your day feels a little easier @MissGremlin 💛

Thankyou @Nala2022 sweet ❤️. The tears have started here, this is really hard (I'm safe).

I hope you have a lovely day sweet ❤️.

Re: I can’t cope

You’re very welcome @MissGremlin. I’m sorry the tears have started, it sounds like things are feeling really overwhelming right now. I’m glad you’re safe and that you’re letting those feelings out. Be gentle with yourself and take it one moment at a time

Thank you lovely. I hope things feel a little easier for you soon 💛

Re: I can’t cope

Hahah I was asking you! @Nala2022

I always wanted a fish tank. I wanted a tropical one but it’s hard to maintain the temperature. I love just sitting there and watch them just swim around. I’ve got no where to put it here.

Housework is so annoying it always has to be done. I haven’t done any yet on my days off. It’ll have to be a big day tomorrow bathing dogs and cleaning! I go back to work on Monday! Serves myself right for being lazy and letting ADHD get in the way! 😂 I did mow mum and dad’s lawn though!

I didn’t sleep with my sleep apnea machine last night and I can actually tell the difference! It must be working.

Mu health is important. I’m giving myself 8

months to be a better version of myself. To be healthier. Body weight does come into it hugely but I’m trying to focus on the healthy side of things and try and fix my liver and pancreas. I was say 6-12 months but now I want to have it all sorted by my 50th birthday. My present to myself is a new me.

Just have to not let the ED voice in and try and maintain my mental health. My psych should help with both and if I get enough money together I’ll see my dietitian again.

I know… the wardrobe. I actually still have some things from before I gain so much weight and when my ED started. I had to get smaller clothes then. I should be able to get through this summer but winter will be different and if I’m not so ashamed of myself and need to cover up so much I might actually dress differently. @MissGremlin

I get the wooden cutlery. That makes things hard when they don’t trust you. I don’t have a phobia but I just don’t like it. I think it’s the autism. My cutlery has to be a certain size and stuff.

That's a lot. I guess a few blood tests as well.

What are you doing now. I’m not cleaning and about to do diamond art. I have my blinds and doors open and music playing! I rewashed my washing and just hung it in the spare room and now I don’t have to worry about it!

Hahaha I just wanted to make sure @Captain24

I heard that too! We ended up getting a systematic fish tank, so I think it regulates the temperature to the right temp. I’ll just leave that to my partner to deal with lol. I can’t wait to get some, it will be so peaceful and we’ll have it in our room for now. It’s only a medium-sized one, but once we get a bigger place, we’d love to get a large fish tank

Oh tell me about it! I just sorted out all the laundry today. I vacuum every day because of my cat Nala, she is shedding so much as the weather is getting warmer. You’ve done plenty! I have ADHD too, so I get it, it’s so hard to get things started and then complete them. We’ve got this!

Amazing, that’s great news that you’ve noticed a difference. I’m glad it seems to be helping

I think that’s a great goal. Even if you only achieve some of it, whether big or small, it’s all worth celebrating!

I hope any future appointments go well for you. It’s great that you’re advocating for yourself and getting the help you need 💛

Re: I can’t cope

When I was looking at houses to buy. The was one house that had a wall dividing the entry way from the lounge room and in the wall was a fish tank! Mum said I couldn’t buy that house on the basis of a fish tank. The rest of the house had to be right! 😂 It was cool though. @Nala2022

Ot is hard. But I do really well at the last minute! 😜 I manage a lot and surprise myself with how fast I can get things done. Then I have a stern talking to myself that it would have been easier if I did things earlier! 😂 Sometimes my autism wins and I have to have a list and follow it to a tee

I’m hoping it’ll be a change. I’ve been eating a little better in the last week but I have increased my meals to 3 times a day which is a really huge and hard things to do. Not perfect meals but still 3, it’s a start.

Im gaining a little bit of confidence in advocating for myself. I couldn’t do

it before and would just cower and do as I was told. There has been quite a change in me in the last couple of months.

Re: I can’t cope

Wow that would have been so cool! I love going to the aquarium, I might have to go there soon, I haven’t been in ages. I find it so peaceful 😊 I hope one day you’ll have a fish tank again!

I’m the same, I get so much done at the last minute lol. We lose some and we win some, is what I say haha. If you’ve got a list but only tick off 1–2 items, I say that’s still a win! 😂

That’s good, it takes time to change and adjust, but at least you’re trying 😊

I have faith in you! The more you do it, the more confidence you’ll have. You should be so proud of yourself @Captain24 💛

Re: I can’t cope

I have a few things I want to do around here but obviously need money for it! I’m not sure if maybe I could put a fish tank in there. That’s a one day in the future thing. @Nala2022

I’ll definitely get the kitchen clean and the floors cleaned. I really have to bath the dogs too! As long as that’s all done that’s what mum sees when she comes in.

I am a little proud of myself. Even say that’s a lot. I have a long way to go but I have the confidence that with support I will get there!
