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’m laying in bed wishing I had never woken up. Now I guess I have to face another nightshift. I want to go back to enjoying my job not dreading it. Maybe if I ever lift this state I’m in I may.

Re: I can’t cope

Sorry to hear you're feeling so much dread about work @Captain24 that's super rough. So hard when you're dreading something in your day, like a dark looming cloud. I hope the shift isn't too intense for you 🤞💜

Re: I can’t cope

Sorry I keep being negative but it’s consuming my life. I can’t function

and I don’t want to do it anymore.

I still feel so broken and worthless

Re: I can’t cope

@Captain24 there is nothing you need to apologise for. I appreciate you expressing yourself honestly, especially as it sounds like stuff is really heavy for you right now and I'd rather you express it here than have to keep it all bottled up inside.

You are not broken because you are struggling. You're not worthless because you are overwhelmed by work and life at the moment. I think the struggles most of us are facing are more a reflection of our current social context rather than any individuals' personal failings. Quite simply, I don't think humans were meant to live like this.

I hope you are able to be gentle with yourself tonight friend, and of course please let us know if things start to get worse so we can support you as best we can.
