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.

@Captain24 sounds like todays been very hard for you. Sometimes it’s hard to feel worthy in such a dark place, but you are worthy to us. You matter to us. Sitting with you here ❤️

Re: I can’t cope

What keeps me from giving up @TideisTurning is my dog and if I fail at suicide then the judgement that will probably follow. My family has no idea of what’s going on and I can’t share with them.

I do have a support team. I have a GP appointment tomorrow and my nurse is calling me. I think I should email her what I wrote instead of trying to say it out loud as I will leave the really bad stuff out. She will share it with the psychiatrist. The nurse told me today that it’ll be about 2 weeks for my new meds to kick in and a week for the old ones to leave my system.

Thank you for listening without judgement

Re: I can’t cope

Thanks @creative_writer . It’s not just today is how I’ve been feeling for the last few days and it feels like there doesn’t seem to be any light in my life in the near future

Re: I can’t cope

Ah. Dogs can be wonderful companions. I'm glad to hear you have a furry friend by your side!

Also that you have support on the way @Captain24 and there are people you can speak to, even if family is not an option. I really like that idea of just sharing what you've written here in this thread via email with your nurse. I can find doing things like that really helpful for myself, because I can then just get into it and my support professional knows everything important, because I've been able to take the time to write it all down.

Re: I can’t cope

My 4 legged baby drives me nuts but she is a little sweetheart and is what is keeping me alive.

I do journal @TideisTurning and when I have face2face apps with my nurse she does go through it. But I do leave some things out. I have already sent that email.

Re: I can’t cope

Thanks so much for letting me get all

of that out. Also knowing I’ve shared how I’m feeling with my team and because I unfortunately ‘released’ some of the pain I actually feel a tiny bit lighter. Thank you so much for your support tonight and previously @TideisTurning @creative_writer @tyme

Re: I can’t cope

I’ve woken up early and have done my housework. I am feeling slightly better than last night.

I’m so sorry for letting it all out. I don’t know that I should have said so much.

Re: I can’t cope

Wondering how you are doing today @Captain24 ?

Re: I can’t cope

Not real good @Bow . The day started off okish but I’m spiralling down now. Just been to the GP and they can give me anything to help lift my mood as it sends me into a manic episode. I just have to hold on until the new meds I’m on kick in.

How are you doing ?
