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

Yeah everyone is different. I like the phone because you can’t see the disappointment on their face when I tell them I have failed.

Is there anything that you could do to encourage you to leave the house? Could you even just go for a drive around?

Re: I can’t cope

I can understand that @Captain24 I think sometimes my psych is disappointed in me. She will suggest things to do and I don't do them.

I know when things get bad that I struggle to leave the house. It seems to take a lot of energy just getting dressed and having a shower these days.

Re: I can’t cope

Sorry @Snowie. I fell asleep.

Sometimes I just chuck a hoodie on over my PJ’s and just go for a drive just to get me out. Sometimes it helps sometimes it doesn’t. But then other times leaving the house is just too much. I do understand.

No need to be sorry @Captain24 I am hoping the sleep has helped you.

Hoping the day goes well for you 💌💌

Re: I can’t cope

Hi @fluffylight

I don’t know what to do. I’m feeling alone but used. I have to be there for everyone but I need time to myself. I feel like everyone wants a piece of me today and I just don’t have enough to give.

Re: I can’t cope

Ah, that hits close to home for me. I am a carer at home and I struggle trying to do things for myself when everyone wants a piece of me..

It's not a nice feeling, I'm sorry you are feeling like this.

You mentioned sometimes you chuck on a hoodie and get out of the house. Is that something you have space to do today?

Re: I can’t cope

I can’t just yet @fluffylight. I have to wait for a friend to come around, I don’t really want to see anyone. Then I have to wait for my parents to come back and pick up their dog. I just want to runaway and leave everything behind.

My CM bought up dads possibly cancer diagnosis today and what will be expected of me and how to try and created myself a safe space. I think it’s bought up way too much of how to deal with my narcissistic mum.

Re: I can’t cope

Is it just me or is it tiring talking about yourself all the time. At least my next appointment isn’t until Friday.

Im so tired. I’m so tired of being me. I’m tired of this journey. I’m tired of recovery.
