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 , just like what @Snowie said, meds are 8 or 8:30pm which means shortly after, the whole place is quiet... you actually don't do much in the evenings lol

@Captain24 ,

You are NOT alone. I hear you are not okay. And that's why this is the next step.

Utilise those skills we have been through to slow things down.

Feel THIS hug. It's tight.

How else does this hug feel?

My heart is racing. @tyme. I’m light headed. I’m struggling to breathe. I’m shaking. I’m sweating. I’m crying.

Would you consider calling Lifeline on 13 11 14 so you can have a little chat to them @Captain24 ?

Re: I can’t cope

I'm hearing you. I'm hearing your apprehensions, anxieties, and fears @Captain24 .

Yet I'm also seeing that this is a leap of faith and these leaps of faith are scary! You have every right to be feeling this way.

You are not faulty or defective.

Allow yourself to feel. It's okay. Let the thoughts come and go.

Sit with them. The WILL pass.

BTW, I just remembered you asked about the photo of my 'bed'! I forgot to take it because I've been with my niece! She's having little kids' friendship issues, so I tried to talk to her about it... after talking and talking, I felt I was going around in circles so I abruptly said, "Pick better friends!" then put her to sleep... oops!

Re: I can’t cope

I can’t even lay down without the room spinning @tyme. Sorry you’re probably over this too.

I can’t believe you forgot the bed 😜

Im sorry about your niece. Sounds like you have more patience with us. 😂

It’s sad about the friend issues. It was horrible when I was a kid. But until year 5 I had a guy who always had my back and I had his. He is my soul mate.

Re: I can’t cope

Have you had enough fluids today @Captain24 ? If symptoms continue, can you call Nurse on Call/Health Direct?

I've NEVER had patience with family - NEVER. I think that's the nature of it. People know I snap so when I get to a point, they stay away. They've always said I have a short fuse....

But when it comes to other people and other kids, I have the WORLD of patience. I think it's the ability to help people that keeps me going.

As for your soul mate, do you still talk to him? It sounds like such a beautiful relationship.
