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 did manage to get some sleep last night @Snowie. My back only woke me a couple of times. It’s slightly better today. Thank you for asking.

Plus I’m feeling mentally ok today! So that’s a good start. I just had a therapist appointment and I have to focus better on my diet and hydration! My dietitian is already trying to help me work on that.

I am dreading the drive to the MRI appointment though. I’ll just take lots of painkillers..

Im hoping that today is going well for you too!

Re: I can’t cope

Glad you got some sleep last night @Captain24 even if your back did wake you up a few times.

Sounds like you feel a little better today which is great news. Also sounds like you have some support around you with is great.

I hope the drive goes ok to the MRI appointment. It sounds like it will be a long drive for you. Hoping you don't have to take too many pain killers.

Re: I can’t cope

So they made me lay on my stomach for my MRI. It’s the worst position for my back! I couldn’t even get off the bed. Now I can barely walk. It hurts to do anything. I have to go and pick something up from a shop and then try and drive myself 1 1/2 home. The pain is intense!

Re: I can’t cope

Oh no @Captain24

I am glad you got the MRI done but feel for the pain you are in now. Hopefully the results from the MRI can help you out.

I hope you are able to get home only in a small amount of pain.

Re: I can’t cope

Thanks @Shaz51 @hanami @Snowie. I can get the pain to ease so I may have to pull up occasionally on the way home.

The MRI wasn’t even for my back. They are checking for breast cancer. I see the GP next week so I’ll get the results then. All the other tests have come back negative so I’m not concerned. I care more about my back! 😂

Re: I can’t cope

Hoping everything comes back clear for you @Captain24

Please take your time getting home. As long as you get home in one piece, it doesn't really matter how long it takes you to get home.

Re: I can’t cope

For those following along. I’m home safely but in intense pain. It’s rapidly bringing undone my okness from this morning. @Snowie @Shaz51 @hanami

Re: I can’t cope

Hey @Captain24 that sounds awful. I hope you're OK. Is there anything that helps the situation? I haven't been online and just catching up on what's happening for you. Glad to hear doctors are looking into it for you, pain is no fun!
