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.

I can imagine @Captain24 ❤️ It must have been such a difficult thing to see and be part of. I hope you nurse can help today

Re: I can’t cope

We talked through it @Former-Member. She has helped me understand grief a little better. It the first time I have ever been at the end.

Apparently I’m really badly dehydrated which is why I’m so sick!

@Captain24 it is hard being there at the end. I was there for my Dad and it was one of the hardest things I ever witnessed. I had comfort knowing that he was now in a better place, the same for your Nan.

Please look after yourself during this time and remember the basic things, eat, drink, sleep.

Re: I can’t cope

Thanks @Snowie. I’m glad you were able to be there for your dad.That must have been really hard.

This was only my grandmother and she was nearly 94 and it has broken me in ways I didn’t realise I could break. I can’t eat and I’m still badly dehydrated. I can’t sleep for very long because her last image appears.

I have to go back to work tomorrow and I’m really not ready but I have to have a meeting before I can return to the pit.

Re: I can’t cope

Nah, that's totally okay @Bow - it was an open invite.

What did you do today? Did you go out? Take you daughter to school?
