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

Being in far north Queensland is very hard for support @Captain24 , @fluffylight

Re: I can’t cope

Thanks for that link @Bow. I just did it and I didn’t go well. It’s quite concerning.

Re: I can’t cope

Wow for first home! So nice that you are in a job that is good for you 🙂 @Captain24

So important for our mental health!

I have never lived outside of Sydney - but I live in a suburb that doesn't have much bustle and hustle thankfully.

Giving lots of hugs to you and the concerns that you are facing 💛

Re: I can’t cope

My job involves working 62.5 hrs in 5 days with night shifts involved. @fluffylight Plus roughly 40 mins travel time there and back. The nightshifts make trying to sort my MH out a little difficult. I can’t change my roster though.

My home is awesome. I love it. I designed it so my bedroom is down the back to make day-sleeping easier. My favourite colour is green so all feature tiles and shades of green.

Im wishing my dietitian wasn’t going away. I think I really need her right now. Not in 6 weeks. But I guess she was going to talk to my CM so hopefully we can start to work through it.

Re: I can’t cope

@Captain24 im glad that you found the butterfly foundation. they were quite helpful to me as well. i still sometimes use their resources when my symptoms come back to haunt me. its definently a process.

its really good that youve put in some positive steps. it might be a slow and steady race but youve taken the first step and thats often the hardest

Re: I can’t cope

I’ll have to wait and see when my dietitian comes back @outlander.

It’s hard. I really don’t want to change anything. I want to and need to lose weight.

How are you ?

Re: I can’t cope

it can be hard @Captain24
just remember that progress can be slow.
i think you said you were more rural.. but im wondering if you would be able to access something like lite N Easy? then you dont have to think about what your eating each day or portioning or anything like that. itll already be ready for you to take with you for breakfast, lunch and dinner. maybe itll make it abit easier for you
personal trainiers are a good motivator as well but you might find simple things are just as helpful like setting yourself a goal to go for a walk each day.

im ok, working atm with alot happening at home but at least tomorrow i can have a sleep in and not as much needs to be done.
