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

All good @magpie4 Everyone has different challenges. We all have different struggles. They are all as important as each other.

It is really difficult to find that happy medium. A lot of med changes and adjustments. We just aren’t there yet. I seem to spend most of my time in a depressive episode. The mania has reduced, so it seems as though that medication is working. Finally.

Hey @creative_writer I'm doing really well thank you! Missed to game though but I don't really follow football so that's okay. Enjoying the warmer weather but missing winter a bit as I like to rug up haha. How are you going? Take care RiverSeal 🙂

Re: I can’t cope

Honestly I was feeling really unsafe @RiverSeal. But I didn’t want to go back to last week. I don’t think I will fail again. I need to be here to support my parents. They need me right now. I can’t do anything stupid.

Maybe it’s just the exhaustion talking.


So going to bed is the best thing for me. At least then I know that I will be safe. Plus an early night will do me some good as I have to finish the garden off tomorrow. There is only 5 plants left in it and they need to be moved. Then I have 2 complete garden beds to replant. If the nursery is opened!

Thank you. I hope you have a good peaceful night.

@creative_writer well after my very bad start, i did eventually get cleaned up went out to listen to a band i like. Was quite anxious about it as facing some demons. I did chat with some people i know, so the interaction was good for me.

Hope your irritation has settled. I hate that feeling also.

Re: I can’t cope

Remember the things that have kept you safe in the past @Captain24 and try them again when you are feeling unsafe. Sounds like fun working in the garden and removing the old plants and going to the nursery for new ones. I volunteered in a community garden as part of my recovery for quite a few years and really enjoyed it. It will definitely tire you out so getting some rest tonight is a good idea and if it keeps you safe too.

Love to hear about your day tomorrow in the garden and if you can get to the nursery!

I hope you get some good rest.

Take care

RiverSeal
