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

I'm glad to hear you're doing well @Nala2022, being rugged up sounds nice and cosy.

I'm having alot of really big feelings and they are so hard to sit with. At the moment I just want to disappear and for everyone to forget that I even existed. I'm really scared aswell with what's happening, what I've been doing and how it's affecting my body. I'm fighting back tears cos its too much to hold all at once. I'm safe, sitting and doing my diamond art with music playing.

Re: I can’t cope

@Captain24 I can imagine it must take some getting used to when you've grown up without that kind of comfort. I'm glad you've experienced genuine care from your psych and the hospital staff, and I hope you can keep reminding yourself that you deserve that care. I'm also glad you're considering keeping the on-call nurse in mind

Our birthdays are very close! Mine is 21 December and my best friend's is the 20th! 😂

I hope your family holiday in February gives you something lovely to look forward to as well 😊

Re: I can’t cope

It’s been rough. But all my own fault @MissGremlin. just need to change my attitude. I think if I left it any longer I’d be in hospital. I’m still not 100% sure that not where I need to be.

Oh yay you are getting there. I haven’t even finished the first section yet! I’ve got weeks to go! 😜 I’m going to do a smaller section next time. I might do them in 10’s instead of 15’s with all the grass.

Have you got a new one for nights?

Re: I can’t cope

@Captain24 it's not your fault, it's been alot to process and that takes time. I'm hoping things do settle for you but if not then please get checked out.

I'm really keen to finish this one as I love the picture. Haha not the grass again! So much green 😂.

Yeah I picked a new one to start and set it up last night.
