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.
You've done so well today @Captain24 . You dreaded the day in the morning, but at least we can celebrate that you've made it through. Good on you.

Re: I can’t cope
@Captain24, I have to admit, I spent a lot of time in bed today too, I was exhausted from the recent mood episode with mixed features. Things have started feeling more normal today, with a bit of plain depression. Also need to get medical stuff ruled out. I do believe sometimes it’s okay to be in bed and to rest up, bipolar can be very exhausting. I think I should sleep by 10ish tonight, semester starts tomorrow. I hope work goes well for you tomorrow, take care hon 💖🫂

Re: I can’t cope
Pfft.. of course I’m not tired. I was stupid enough to spend the day in bed. This is when things get out of control.

@Captain24, hon, I think you need to go easy on yourself. You’re doing the best you can, I know it doesn’t feel like enough and it’s hard to see. It’s always hard to see the effort one puts in themselves. We tend to be more critical of ourselves. It may not feel that way right now, sending you lots of love 💖🫂

Re: I can’t cope
@Captain24I am too anxious to respond here most of the time, I don't want to intrude or say the wrong things. I feel for you though, so much of what you say is familiar. Are there any things you can do that are calming even if you can't sleep?

Re: I can’t cope
All I have to think is that I have 3 more shifts until Easter @creative_writer,
Hi @Acanthiza. I’m going to try and get some sleep after this. I just wanted to say thanks for your support. Please never feel anxious or feel like you are going to say the wrong thing. You are definitely not intruding. Hey,, I always seem to say the wrong thing! But we are all here together, that’s what matters.
Going to put on some white noise and hope for the best!

Re: I can’t cope
Starting to get stressed as the night is getting later, the thoughts are getting darker and darker no amount of white noise is covering it.
I have to get up soon.

Re: I can’t cope
Those thoughts are too much. I can’t stop them. I can’t control them. The only thing I can control is not getting out of bed.
