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

You have such a good soul @outlander. To do all you do and want to help others on top of it.

I’d like to be able to help others eventually.

Re: I can’t cope

i enjoy helping others @Captain24 sometimes its hard but i still enjoy it. i like being on here and interacting with everyone as well and im greatful for the support i recieve myself here

ive had so much trauma and mental and physical health issues on top of being a carer and work and needing so much support myself that i finally reached a point i wanted to share my experiences and give back.

you might not realise it but the support you give to others on here, even saying hello or a 'thinking of you' post to members who may be struggling is one of the ways your already helping people.

Re: I can’t cope

It’s good you enjoy it @outlander as hard as it is.

Having been through a lot makes it easier to resonate and help others.

I don’t think I do much for anyone but one day I’d like to be a PSW on my days off too pay forward what I’ve received. Once I’ve recovered if I ever do.

Re: I can’t cope

Haha it's nice to be here @outlander 😊

I have faith in you as well @Captain24! I truly feel like Peer Support is the way to go when it comes to mental health work. In my opinion/experience, one of the most fundamental things that is missing for most folks with MHI is connection - and being able to feel seen and heard by someone who actually understands has been so healing for me. I think that's why I got into mental health in the first place!

You will get there. I believe it, I believe in you 💚

Re: I can’t cope

Oh dear @Captain24
Do you want to talk about it?
Do you need medical attention?
