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.

Im feeling pretty flat and tired. I’ll pump the music on my 45min drive home. Hopefully that helps.

Re: I can’t cope

Last night was pretty dark @tyme but not as bad as it was the night before. Today I think it’s just that I’m tired. I’ve come home put my work clothes in the wash and I’m cooking dinner.

Work was a shock. It was just a normal day. BUT. I had conversations with work mates. Went an my breaks when others were on theirs. I didn’t hide away. I was like my old me.

The change in me in 16 days was unbelievable. I know that I was getting stronger at times and I know I have grown but today just showed me how much.

I think it has helped my darkness to ease tonight

Re: I can’t cope

awwww @Captain24 - that is soooo good to hear @Captain24 ! I'm so happy for you!

I'm smiling right now.

To simply know that all those 'dark' times have actually 'paid off' and you are feeling like your old you. Connection is so important - in any shape or form.

Just keep pushing on @Captain24 . You have come so far 🙂

Hugs, tyme

Re: I can’t cope

Thanks @tyme . Believe it or not I’m actually smiling too! My boss told me it was good to see my smiling and having fun.

Days like today when I can see how far I’ve come are what is getting me through the hard times. The dark times are what is making me stronger I think.

I have to enjoy it while I can.

Thank you so so so much for all your encouragement and support.
