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

@Captain24 amazing how hearing things multiple times makes them stick a little more each time hey? This is why I encourage people to say nice things about themselves out loud - even though it can be uncomfortable, our brains tend to believe things when we hear them said aloud and repeatedly. Hence why when we're told negative things many times we tend to internalise them and accept them as fact. So to 'undo' that, we need to hear the good things out loud many times too. And it still counts if you're just saying it ouit loud to yourself!

I'm sorry that you're experiencing so much pain, that sounds awful. I'm glad you're trying to look out for yourself along the way - keeping sugars up is definitely good to look out for. I am also glad that writing it out has been helpful for you :)

Definitely sounds wise to access extra support right now, whether that's EAP or bringing your psych appt closer (hopefully both). You deserve to have lots of kindness and care right now!
