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

Thanks so much @tyme. We haven’t had a chat like that for ages.

I’ll be around tomorrow and I’ll be on the PGC.

Have a good night and hopefully someone can take the kids out so you can get some sleep

Good night

Re: I can’t cope

I’m really disappointed in myself.

I’ve just been to the GP and have been officially diagnosed with an ED.

Re: I can’t cope

I knew things weren’t ok @tyme but I really didn’t think it was that bad.

It has shaken me quite a lot. Especially when I was actually having a good day.

Did you get to sleep in a bit this morning?

Re: I can’t cope

I didn't get to sleep in @Captain24 . Played toys with the kids and then read to them. Read Enid Blyton... that's proper english. I'm not a fan of the graphic novels that are out now which are so superficial.

As for your ED, I'm sorry to hear having this diagnosis has shaken you. Perhaps you could see it as a step in the right direction to get the help you need early before things get harder?

Re: I can’t cope

Oh well @tyme. As much as you didn’t get to sleep just think of the memories you are making. Also think of Saturday when you can sleep just make sure all the doors are locked before you go to bed so the kids cant get in! 😂

I use to love Enid Blyton books. The magic faraway tree series and then as I got older secret 7 and famous 5. They are good books for your niece to read. I agree with the current books I don’t think they are overly kid friendly.

I guess we have got it early. I feel like I have let my team down especially my dietitian. She is getting a copy of the ED plan from my GP. The only good thing is that I get more subsided psych visits as I’ve just used my 10 with the MH plan.

Re: I can’t cope

True that @Captain24 re the added sessions.

Please don't feel you have let your team down. This is your journey.

Re: I can’t cope

My dietitian has been great. @tyme. It’s my own fault. It’s a journey that I’ve messed and failing at big time.

Are you looking forward to getting home to your own bed? How long is the drive home?

Re: I can’t cope

I haven't been getting my own bed!!! I have a niece who wants sleepovers everynight..... argghhhh... I 'run away' as soon as I can, but then I get an earful. I feel for her because she said her parents don't want her in their bed because her legs are too long (plus, the other two kids are in their bed too)... @Captain24

I feel sad for her when she says she hates being the eldest child....

I'm so hard, but I'm a softie.

@Captain24 - I know you can do it. You are the one that will make the difference in the end. And I know you will.
