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.

@Captain24 what an impossibly sad situation. And not fair on you to have to feel all this pressure. Sending hugs 💜

I’ve just done something to try and release the pain.

He hasn’t even got the diagnosis yet and she has him passed.

I can’t do this.

Re: I can’t cope

That's really hard @Captain24. I hope you're looking after yourself.

Everyone copes (or struggles to cope) with these situations differently. Some folks end up in denial of some form, which can indeedbe very painful to those around them. All you can do is focus on what you can control and do for yourself.

I don’t know that I have enough strength. All I want to do is hurt myself. I don’t know how to get through this. What’s it going to be like if his tests come back as cancer.

Re: I can’t cope

@Captain24 It's so scary not knowing. It's such an intense space you're in, so it sounds like your mind is racing for a way to cope, including thinking of hurting yourself. Please do reach out to a crisis service if you feel that urge getting worse.

There's no way to know how things will go, or how you will feel about it. There is support out there though. There's heaps of cancer support groups you could find for instance. You're definitely not alone in this experience.

Re: I can’t cope

Aww @Captain24 I'm so sorry it's so hard. Do you have anyone you could reach out to tonight? You sound understandably quite distressed. Maybe a helpline?

Re: I can’t cope

@Captain24 You do have us... for what that is worth. And that's what helplines are there for.

I'm signing off soon but the next moderator will be along shortly - do reach out to them as needed.

Deep breaths, take it slow. Hope for a better day tomorrow 💜
