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.

Hi @Captain24 💛

I'm sorry about things being overwhelming right now.

Aww I'm sending you lots of hugs. Are you finding ways to be gentle with yourself during this time? You and Pixie deserve it!

The extra money sounds like good news! Love a good refund.

Re: I can’t cope

Life has just gotten out of control @fluffylight and my low mood isn’t helping. I’ve got no energy or motivation left. I have so much to do. Like mow the lawns, pull all the weeds out of the garden beds, clean the whole house and iron 5 loads of washing.

With everyone at work getting a bill, me getting a $2000 refund is good. However if pixies leg is what the vet thinks I’m looking at $10000 - $15000 for surgery. Her X-rays on Thursday are about $1000 plus I have a car to register and get fixed.

Even writing this makes me more overwhelmed. When I get like this I can’t do anything. I’m in a massive downward spiral. I feel sick. My head aches. My heart rate is high. My hands and feet are tingling. I have no concentration. I just have nothing.

Oh no, I can hear how distressing this is for you @Captain24

I feel like finances can push me to that overwhelm space, so I really understand how much your body is feeling this.

You have done a great job with your lawn before, I remember those pics you had shared.

I really hope you and Pixie will be okay 💛

I’m hoping if I just get up in the morning and start it’ll be easier @fluffylight. That’s my wish anyway.

I shouldn’t really stress until the X-rays are done and see what my vet says. I trust her totally so I’ll go with whatever she recommends.

I have some really strong urges tonight.

Hey my dear @Captain24

I'm really sorry to hear you are going through a difficult time and experiencing urges.

Please remember to be proud of yourself .... it takes such courage for us to admit our challenges. You have come so far with everything that has been going on lately. You're not alone in this.

I'm going to check in with you via email, will this be ok?

Hi @Captain24

If you feel like chatting I'll be on for some time longer 🙂

I can recognise that distractions are helpful for you tonight. I also respect if you feel it is safer to head off for the night.

Whatever sits right with you 🙂

Please be gentle you deserve it 💛

Re: I can’t cope

Thanks @fluffylight

The distraction has been really helpful. It has helped me, up until now with my urge.

I’ve just taken my meds so I won’t be asleep for a while.

That would be good please. If that’s ok? If others are needing you though, I understand. Mines not as important.

In response to: Re: I can’t cope

Re: I can’t cope

Thats okay 🙂 @Captain24 you are important 💛

Thank you for sharing with me what feels right for you.


What would be a good distraction - talking about whats on your mind (on forums or email) or speaking about other things? 🙂

Re: I can’t cope

I don’t know if you have read the emails @fluffylight

My head is all over the place. There is just a huge pressure building up inside of me that I need to release. (I don’t know if I’m allowed to say that)

In response to: Re: I can’t cope

Re: I can’t cope

I can hear that @Captain24

Would you like to chat over email instead?

I can send you a email right now
