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 don’t even know where to start @amber22. I’m alone and lonely. I feel that everyone would be better off if I wasn’t here.

I’m the lowest I’ve ever been. It’s been 4 weeks and I can’t shake it. I’ve given up on any hope of it ever improving. I’m tired of trying to fight it. I’m tired of being so low. I’m tired of having no motivation. I’m tired is being so self absorbed. I’m tired of my MI. I’m tired of not belonging (except on here thanks @Snowie ). I’m just tired and want to be normal.

That’s not even half of what I’m feeling

Re: I can’t cope

I'm sorry that you're having these thoughts. You are so valued and you're not alone at all in feeling like this 💕

Would calling our drop in line be something that could help by having a chat to someone? Sometimes it can really help by talking it out with someone.

Sendings hugs @Captain24

Re: I can’t cope

I’m so broken that I just can’t talk to anyone @amber22. Especially a stranger. I don’t know where to turn. My CM is away and she is who I rely on when things are tough. I don’t know my GP well enough to call him and my therapist is only contactable during appointments. I’ve tried distraction but that’s not helping either. I’m just hopeless

Re: I can’t cope

Aw @Captain24 that sounds really hard ❤️

I'm here with you, you aren't alone at all right now. I know you don't feel like talking to anyone on the phone right now, but I have just emailed you over some crisis support numbers in case you wanted to connect with someone later, or you felt like talking to someone about how you're feeling in a little bit if you don't start to feel better.

Is there anyone that you can text for some support from your life? Maybe a loved one that you can talk to? Or if you don't feel like talking at all, is there something that you can do to distract yourself for a little bit?

Re: I can’t cope

You're not a burden at all, we're here for you always ❤️

Maybe connecting with someone a bit later could be nice to talk out how you're feeling. See how you go. For now, how about trying to do something to distract yourself a bit? @Captain24

Re: I can’t cope

I was able escape reality for 2 hrs while I had a nap. I’m not as tired but my thoughts are still there.

Re: I can’t cope

Hey @Captain24 ,

I'm just on a call, so I'll be in and out, but just wanted to say hi...

It sounds like it's still a depressive period at the moment?

Re: I can’t cope

Hi @tyme

Yes still is. I wish it would let up. I’m tired of it and I’ve had enough. I’m ready to ‘fix’ it

How are you?
