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

Yeah, it's a bit like that eh? Losing track of time? @Captain24 ?

Can't believe it'll be April soon.

Re: I can’t cope

Yeah I feel like I’m having memory issues @tyme. I have no idea of time.

The good thing about April being around the corner is that daylight savings ends!

Then is Easter next weekend.

What have you been upto?

Re: I can’t cope

I'm back 🙂 @Captain24

Sorry I was absent for a while tonight.

Loneliness? I'm not sure if i've shared this with you, but I found myself in deep despair and loneliness. I had everything going for me - family, job, security, money. But I was alone.

Upon reflection, I've learnt that loneliness is a state of mind rather than being 'alone'. That is, I live alone at home, but I'm NEVER lonely. If anything, I want to turn off from people sometimes. Even now, I have a list of people I need to respond to, call, email etc.

Well... maybe last night (or this morning), I actually had some 'me' time... lol. I stayed up until the wee hours of this morning hooked to a ridiculous game my niece downloaded on my phone... I haven't done that in 2 decades or so!

But yes, MH can cause one to feel lonely - even when there are people everything. It's like an emptiness and void from deep within that cannot be satisfied.... what do you think?

Re: I can’t cope

Hi @Captain24

I can understand the alone feeling. I am mostly surrounded by family yet feel so lonely within myself. I think it is more the fact that people don't understand what I am going through and my experiences. In one way I don't want them to know but in another way it is nice to have people who can relate to you.

That is why I like spending time on here. There are others that can understand me without me having to go into details on things.

Please know that you are not alone on here. I know it is not the same as in real life but at least it is something. 💕💕

Re: I can’t cope

Thanks @Snowie. I think it’s because I’m feeling good and I have no one to share it with. Even just to chat too.

Re: I can’t cope

@Captain24, it’s lonely not being able to share things with people. I’m at uni, I probably feel more alone here than when I’m in my room alone.
