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

Hello lovely! @Captain24

I can see that your mind is moving very quickly today. Let's slow it down...

It sounds like your most familiar thought patterns are most present right now, so I wonder what would happen if we softened into some self-compassion?

I also wonder what you imagine would happen if you allowed yourself to tend to your needs first and foremost today?

And what would your psychologist say about the last sentence you shared? 💛

Hey @AuntGlow

Ove just had a nap and the phone rang. I have a Chiro appointment in half an hour. So that’s some self care. I just have to be able to get out of bed and get my useless self there.

The world won’t end if I don’t get things done but it feels like it in my side. It’s just a big disappointment to me. I still can’t get things right around here. I was even trying which I haven’t done. But no.. I failed again. Mum is coming in in the morning to feed my dogs. So it has to be a lot better than it is now. So I will have to do something.

I would be in trouble. I can hear her now. That’s the trauma captain speaking, the critical one. And lots more that I can hear rolling around. It doesn’t change the belief though.

What I really need right this second is a cigarette! I’m really struggling with this.
