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’ve just had my first appointment with a psychologist. @amber22

Bringing up my childhood was really hard. All she kept saying was ‘that’s f*cked’. I’m not sure how it makes me feel.

She also thinks I have cPTSD but I’m not really sure what it means and if it’s right.

Re: I can’t cope

Oh my goodness, that sounds very unempathetic. I'm sorry that you experienced that @Captain24

Would doing something for yourself this afternoon be something that could be on the radar? After having to deal with that? It might make you feel a bit better to pour some love and care back into your cup after it was poured out!

Re: I can’t cope

I’ve sent an email to the CM that’s been assigned to me while mine is away. Hopefully she gets back to me. @amber22

I don’t know what to do. I just feel so stuck.

Re: I can’t cope

I think that's a really great step that you've taken. For the rest of the afternoon/ night I'd do something that makes you feel a bit better to fill your cup back up. I can't imagine that what you've been through today has been easy at all.

Is there something you could do like watching something, having a hot shower or a bath, reading etc that might help fill your cup back up a little bit for now? @Captain24

Hey @Captain24 , firstly Happy Birthday for yesterday 🍰 and a hug for what you have been through today.

It all sounds kind of hard so I hope your CM gets back to you soon.

Re: I can’t cope

I’m not sure @amber22. I could try a shower. I need something to unwind.

Re: I can’t cope

That sounds lovely - maybe even a walk with Pix if it's not too cold where you are? @Captain24

I’m having a cup of tea and a Tim tam to try and boost my energy. @Captain24
