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

Maybe both parts are allowed to exist right now? What's important is that you're nurturing yourself by redirecting to your safety plan, even when that other part comes to the surface, and that is huge progress!! @MissGremlin I encourage you to listen to the things that you have shared with Cap and read them as supportive affirmations for you too, because they are SO good and absolutely apply to you as well.

You will, and if you can't hold the belief that you will, let us do it for you. ☺️

Thank you. 💕

Re: I can’t cope

@AuntGlow maybe, but what if that other part takes over? I try to redirect to my safety plan, but most of the time I fail as I struggle to catch things quick enough. I think I've managed to get through the hard part of tonight, well I've finished my drink already so that's broken the routine, I'm hoping I can be strong enough to keep it up.

I'm good at saying things to others but applying them to myself is so hard.

Right now I really am finding it difficult to hold that belief so I'm thankful for the community here to hold it while I can't ❤️.
