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.

Oh @Captain24 , so sorry to hear.

How's Pix? We were having a doggie conversation somewhere else... I was talking about my previous dogs.

Pixie is a godsend right now @tyme. She has been very snuggly and cuddly. Last night every time I moved she did so that her body was laying against mine.

You know what @Captain24 …. Things ain’t good, but I am surviving. Doing what I need to get through the moments. I don’t always make the right choices, the healthy choices, but it is what it is at the moment.

not sure whether you mighta read, but I am considering ECT. AND after what felt like ages, im meeting with my new psychologist on Wednesday.

@Captain24 Pix has always been your Godsend. I'm so glad you have her. She is lucky to have you too!

I can still see her cheeky muddy face 🙂 I smile each time.

You are an inspiration @Bow. I’m so glad you are meeting your new psychologist and soon too. I hope they are a good fit for you. I hope you make the right decision for you in regards to ECT.

Re: I can’t cope

I am lucky @tyme. She has been an amazing support. I don’t really deserve her. I’ve been really selfish last night and today.

Re: I can’t cope

Hey there @Captain24 . How about practice some self-compassion right now. Yes, we acknowledge there was a challenging moment last night, but that's okay. Remember, you are human, not superhuman! These little mishaps reminds us that no one is perfect.

I certainly am not perfect! Far from it! I have selfish, horrible moments. Yet I also have pleasant moments. You can't have the good without the bad.

Re: I can’t cope

I guess having the bad makes you appreciate the good more @tyme.

I am trying. I’m doing some diamond art and have music playing. I’ve also done a job list of things that need to be done tomorrow. I may not get it done but if I can at least do some of it, it may help.

I’ve taken my correct meds with prn so I’m hoping it will help me improve a little tomorrow.

But I just have to focus on making it through the now.

What have you been upto?

Re: I can’t cope

I wanted to buy a new diamond art today, but couldn't find one @Captain24 . So I'm looking online for one I like.

Today I bought a Lego flower posy. Looks very intricate.
