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

Morning @Nala2022 sweet, thankyou ❤️. Things have been really bad, last night I failed but I did what I needed to do to sleep (I'm safe). I'll talk to my doctor about it this morning as I know he'll want to run blood tests to check things.

I've gotten up and made a cuppa and I'm trying to do my morning routine, just very slowly and gently.

How are you doing sweet?

Re: I can’t cope

@MissGremlin I’m really sorry things have been so bad for you. I’m glad you’re safe right now and that you’re planning to talk with your doctor this morning. Please be gentle with yourself today and take things one small step at a time, just as you’re doing with your cuppa and morning routine. I hope your doctor can help you work through what’s been happening and get you some extra support. I’m doing okay, thank you for asking. I just finished my cuppa and chilling with my cat Nala 💛

Re: I can’t cope

@Nala2022 I'm trying to be, but I'm feeling angry with myself. I've just finished my coffee, it's really noisy here and I'm getting overwhelmed (I'm safe).

Glad to hear that you're doing ok and chilling with Nala ❤️.

Re: I can’t cope

@MissGremlin please try to be gentle with yourself. I know it’s hard when you’re feeling angry with yourself, and all the noise on top of everything else must be adding to that overwhelm. Maybe just give yourself permission to slow down, take a few steady breaths and do whatever feels manageable right now. You deserve kindness and support, especially on the days that feel the hardest 💛

Re: I can’t cope

Thankyou @Nala2022 sweet ❤️. I'm trying so hard to slow things down, really feeling the affects of what happened last night 😞. I'm not sure how I'm going to get through today at the moment (I'm safe). I'm about to go out for my morning routine.

Re: I can’t cope

@MissGremlin It’s understandable that today feels difficult when you’re still dealing with the effects of everything. You don’t have to work out how you’ll get through the whole day right now; just take it one small step at a time, even if you can only manage a little today, that is enough 💛

Re: I can’t cope

@Nala2022 I've just got back home and done my dishes, that took so much out of me. I need to do a quick tidy up but struggling to find the motivation to do anything, I just want to curl up on my lounge with Casper.

Re: I can’t cope

@MissGremlin You’ve already managed to get out of the house and also do your dishes, so please don’t be hard on yourself if a tidy up feels like too much right now. It’s okay to rest on the lounge with Casper if that's what you need or all you can do right now. I have those days too 💛

Re: I can’t cope

@Nala2022 I cleaned the bathroom and vacuumed the house, I think that's enough for the day. I'm about to sit down to have something to eat and I'm going to watch Harry Potter.

Re: I can’t cope

Well done @MissGremlin! You’ve done what you could today, and that’s more than enough, especially when you’ve been feeling so drained. That sounds perfect. Which movie are you watching? I'm due to re-watch them (I do every year) 💛
