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

@Captain24 hoping you got some sleep last night and today is a little better.

I know how hard it is to admit to family that we are not doing well. You showed a lot of strength hon.

Re: I can’t cope

I admitted to my Pdoc yesterday that I do think I need to go to hospital @Snowie. That’s why I decided to tell mum. But I’m giving the new med adjustments and my trip away a go first. I have to be closely monitored for the next 2 weeks.

I wrote down how I was feeling and just handed it to her. I looked at the floor while she was reading it.

Re: I can’t cope

It is so hard telling our loved ones when we are not doing well @Captain24

I find telling my husband things really hard. It is like admitting to myself that I am not going well.

I think the idea of a trip away sounds great. Hospital can always be still an option when you get back. It is always good having a second option at times.

Re: I can’t cope

It’s just 3 nights but it’s only Pix and I.

The last time I was away without the olds coming as well was 3 yrs ago. @Snowie.

I just dropped the bombshell on mum, she said ‘so I have a crazy daughter’ and then I said I’ll leave you with that and hung up! She didn’t say anything tonight though.

Re: I can’t cope

If I take the hospital option I will need all the support I can get. It’s 4 hrs away so there will be no visitors. Plus I’m terrified of having to go down that path @tyme

Re: I can’t cope

Just you and Pix sounds great @Captain24 It might just be the reset that you need.

It's hard when family members react like that. My mum doesn't react well when I tell her that I have to go into hospital. She always turns is around and makes herself the victim, but that is normal for her. She always plays the victim.

I'm glad you hung up on her when she said that. That takes a lot of courage to do that. Even better when she didn't say anything tonight.
