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.

Beaches! Cats! Two of my favourite things in this world. Maybe I should share my ridiculous animals? 🤔

Of course we care @Captain24 .

It's not just words.

It would've been good for you to join tonight's Peer Group Chat... on Taking a Stand Against Invalidation!!!

Re: I can’t cope

Thanks @Acanthiza Sometimes I think I’ll get through it and other times I’m not so sure. But dealing with ever changing extremes in my parents moods is really unhelpful and making things so much harder to get through.

Re: I can’t cope

I would have liked too @tyme but things just didn’t work out in my favour.

That just felt heartfelt. Somehow different. Maybe it was that things were very different in me.

Now Dad is saying he is stupid and mum said yes you are. They are arguing over something “serious” which dog water bottle belongs where. This is how bad things are.

Re: I can’t cope

In a way, I'm thinking is it that they are so comfortable and familiar with each other that they argue like brothers and sisters? @Captain24

Re: I can’t cope

I am getting really sleepy @Captain24 . I will catch up with you later, hopefully the saga of the dog water can be brought to a satisfactory end. All the best as usual, I don't know how close you are to the ocean where you are but I am imagining the sound of waves and it is making me happy. Goodnight!

Re: I can’t cope

My dad gets heated over small things @Acanthiza @Captain24 .... my mum just looks at him and walks off. She doesn't even bother wasting her words lol. It's funny to watch. My dad is the more emotional one and my mum is the one who is never phased... I don't think I've ever seen them have a fight.

Re: I can’t cope

No @tyme. I think the comfortable stage has gone. Sometimes they are ok but mostly I feel like they really can’t stand each other.

It’s so hard to watch and so hard to be in the middle of.

You have no idea how lucky you are to have not seen it. At one stage last night I thought it was going to get physical. I still wasn’t sure this morning.

Re: I can’t cope

Would you dad call 1800RESPECT? @Captain24

That's sad to hear that they probably can't stand each other... esp considering your dad's life was on the line...

We'll chat again tomorrow? I'm hopping off shortly.

See you then.

Re: I can’t cope

No @tyme. They are as bad as each other and I would cop it if I said anything.

I disappointed at the time. I really need you right now.

I’ll chat tomorrow.
