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’m laying outside in the dark and the cold looking at the stars. I’m trying to get my breathing and heart rate under control.

Well done @Captain24 on trying to get things under control.

You are showing so much strength and courage tonight, just to continue. I know how hard that is at times. Here with you

Re: I can’t cope

As if life isn’t bad enough. Now, on top of everything else, I’ve just hurt my back really badly. I can’t even sit down. I just can’t catch a break.

@Captain24, I'm so sorry, a painful back is not pleasant. Would you be able to see a GP soon? Sending you lots of positive vibes and love ❤️

Re: I can’t cope

Nothing is open here on weekends. @creative_writer. No doctors surgery and no physio. The only place I can go is ED.

I think I’ve slipped more discs in my spine. The pain bought tears to my eyes and I have a strong pain tolerance. I’ve taken a lot of pain relief! At least I can now sit on the lounge.


It’s not helping my mental state at all. I am really not ok. But unfortunately I’m safe.

I’m sorry for dumping this on you.

I hope you are doing better.

Re: I can’t cope

@Captain24, no need to apologise, I know from talking to other people, back pain can be debilitating. Physical pain is never good for mental health. I'm glade you are safe, you are worth more than you realise ❤️ ❤️

Not great, but I gotta get uni done. At least I'm getting there slowly.

Re: I can’t cope

Thanks @creative_writer. I’m feeling pretty worthless and so much more right now.

I hope you get your uni work done and it keeps you distracted.

Re: I can’t cope

@Captain24, you are far from worthless 🫂.

I hope I can keep going and don’t end up really sick. My head and stomach are already feeling a bit heavy.

Re: I can’t cope

So sorry to hear about your back @Captain24 Physical pain can affect our mental health so much. I hope this afternoon it has eased a little. I know not much is open, but please go get help if you need it. Your physical pain is just as important as your mental pain.

Sitting here with you.

@creative_writer I hope this afternoon has got a little better for you.

Sitting here with you too.
