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

My weight and how I look is part of the reason I want to end my life @hanami I get in the scales everyday and beat myself up with the number especially if it hasn’t changed or it has gone up.

Im so sorry you struggled with this and went too far. I hope you are recovered now.

Yes, I have a plan to end it all and if this doesn’t work I will carry it out.

Re: I can’t cope

Yep @Captain24 , struggled with weight a lot as a kid and teenager. Took it upon myself to change that but then became obsessed which can easily happen. I am ok now but it does stay with you - body image. We do need to feel good about ourselves, I agree. I do hope you can find that good balance - eating well for health and self-esteem but not getting too obsessed. x

Re: I can’t cope

I eat well when I’m at work @hanami. I feel I eat too much though. But I need to be able to concentrate as it’s a really big truck. Ive started to counteract that on my days off though.

It’s only a recent thing. As soon as I noticed the scales dropping that’s when I got the power to keep going. Now it’s all I think about other than just fixing all my problems at once.

I’ve got 6 weeks before the assessment so I’ll do the best I can to lose it before then.

I’m really struggling right now. I don’t really see a way forward just a way out.

Re: I can’t cope

I don’t even know what to say @Snowie. If I say what I’m thinking I will get into trouble. The chemist is still open and closes at 6. I checked.

Re: I can’t cope

I can understand that @Captain24 Sometimes we can't say what we want. Sometimes it is hard to admit it to ourselves too. I have been there though, and here with you.

Can you ask the chemist just to give you maybe 2 nights worth? Even give them a call and see if they can do that.

Hi @Captain24

Noticing things are hard for you right now 💛

How does being email buddies sound to you?

Re: I can’t cope

So I just did up my meds into the pill organiser and I have enough until Monday night. @Snowie @fluffylight.

I just have to stop myself from going as I don’t need anything until then. I don’t know if I trust myself though.
