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

I can hear how strong these thoughts are for you.

Have you ever done work on defusion with your treating team? e.g. rather than hate or resist the thoughts, simply observe them and let them come and go? @Captain24 I found defusion so helpful when I was struggling.

Re: I can’t cope

No @tyme Ive never heard of it.

There just too many thoughts..

I feel sick and disgusting and I have an appointment with my dietitian at 5. I don’t think I’ve felt this negative going in to one. I’ve usually tried at least one suggestion. This time I've gone backwards.

I really hate myself @tyme I really do.

I'm hearing how strong these self-deprecating thoughts are for you at the moment @Captain24 .

I really think some defusion work with a trained therapist will be helpful for you in the long run. It's about learning to accept the thoughts for what they are - thoughts, and be able to 'unhook' or detatch yourself from feeling them so strongly.

Re: I can’t cope

My dietitian was so good considering I failed everything she asked me to do. I told her the last appointment was really overwhelming so she has decided to slow down a little.

I came to realise today that I do definitely have a problem and that I’m in real trouble. The irrational part of my brain has completely taken over the rational part. She wants me to see my GP as soon as possible but it’ll be hard to get in. I can also contact her if I need to.

Im really not good for much. Im just wasting everyone’s time. I’m just a complete failure.

Hugs @Captain24 .

You are doing your best. Can anyone ask more than that?

There are many people who want the best for you because they see you deserve it.

Allow yourself to be helped.

I'm here for you.

Re: I can’t cope

Hey @Captain24 just letting you know I understand. I feel like I waste my dietitian’s time and my money every time I see her. I’ve often told her that too…. But she reassures me that I’m not.
