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.
Please take care. I hope you do make it to work @Captain24 .
Sitting with you. Have a good night.

Re: I can’t cope
I couldn’t bring myself to go to work. I hate myself for not going. It’s the first time I’ve failed to go to work. I’m just useless.

Hi @Captain24,
Please don't be so hard on yourself. I'm sure most of us have had days when it was just too much to go to work. Somedays it's important to prioritise ourselves over other things such as work and that's okay.
FloatingFeather ❤️

@Captain24, it’s okay hon. You need to take care of yourself and it’s okay to take some time for yourself. You are the priority.

Re: I can’t cope
Thanks @FloatingFeather@creative_writer. I’m in so much emotional pain. Life keeps throwing this curve ball at me just when I start feeling ok. I just need a break from everything. I’m exhausted.

Re: I can’t cope
@Captain24, that's understandable. I feel like recovery is strange, you feel better but then feel worse again. I think it's just about looking at the bigger picture and seeing how much you are progressing.

Re: I can’t cope
Recovery is 100 per cent like this @creative_writer . It's not linear and there is no point to reach where all of your symptoms will be gone (generally). It can be two steps forward, one back. And it's about learning to live with the symptoms that come and go. Acceptance, and knowing that there will be days when you feel not so great but you will get through those.
