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.

I’m beating myself up @Jynx. I just have to try and get through the next 30mins. It’s really hard. It’s all just there.

Re: I can’t cope

With the help of scrolling through Facebook and a few smokes, I have made it through. Now I’m heading off to work.

You got this @Captain24! If you're ever doom-scrolling (as the younger folks call it) and want something to lift your mood more, I really love the Wholesome Memes Subreddit. Always brings me a lil smile 😊

Here if you need 💜

Re: I can’t cope

Thank you for your support @hanami @Jynx. I really appreciate it.

It’s been a very long night at work and I have struggled to stay awake. I’ve just had an appointment with my psych and it was really hard and deep. We talked about my lack of eating and about me not wanting to live anymore and how bad that really is. I feel very drained and low. That urge is now stronger.

Im finally getting into bed to get a little bit of sleep. I’m just glad I don’t have to work tonight.

@Captain24 aww you're always welcome, I'm glad to be able to sit with you in the rough stuff. I hope the appt was also helpful, even if very deep and difficult?

Glad you've got the night off, what are you doing with yourself this evening?

Re: I can’t cope

Hey @Jynx. How are you?

It was helpful. I have to find the good things in my life and see where I feel them in my body. Pixie is in my heart. Where I feel my house and my job? I don’t know.

Pixie just had a play date with her boyfriend. I thought I’d get out of it tomorrow as I have my dietitian at 3 but he is coming earlier instead. I’m tired of having to make small talk everyday. His mum can see how tired I am but she is still planning to come everyday until she goes back the Newcastle. It is good for Pix though. That’s what is more important, that she is happy.

I am sooo tired so I think I’ll have an early night tonight as I can’t sleep in in the morning as I have a GP appt at 9
