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

You're brave doing this when you're so scared, @Captain24 . Well done.

Yes, that's what I was thinking, that the word "hospital" has negative connotations for you. I'm glad you think of it as a clinic instead.

You will have support in there, to help you cope, and you will have our support as well. Does your best friend down in Melbourne know you're going in?

Yes she does @NatureLover. I have to ring her while I’m driving down. It’s a 4 hr trip.

Last night was pretty good. She sent me a text at around midnight and asked if I was awake and could I ring. She was having an anxiety attack and needed help. I helped her through it and then she was ready to go to sleep. Just being able to finally help someone felt really good.

Re: I can’t cope

I'm glad she knows. That's lovely you could help her last night 🙂

What time do you have to leave in the morning? If your admission is at 1pm then maybe 9am or earlier if you'll stop for a break along the way?

Re: I can’t cope

I like to be early @NatureLover. So I’m going to leave around 7ish. That way if there’s an accident, too much traffic or I get lost getting through Sydney, I have plenty of time.

Also I’d like to drive around the area and see what is there and check out the beach before I have to park my car for 3 weeks. I’ve never been to that part of the coast before. I want to know what shops are around. I think it’s too small for a shopping centre.

Re: I can’t cope

My house is spotless. My list is written for the sitter. My car is packed. Everything says I’m ready.

Im sitting on the lounge spending as much time with my 2 babies as I can.

Im not ready to do this. I’m still not sure I can.
