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

Thanks @tyme @Snowie

I am just a little proud of myself. I also know that this is where I need to be.

All the girls I’ve made friends with have left or a leaving tomorrow. We will all stay in contact though. They were a great bunch and welcomed me from day one.

How are you going @Snowie. Nearly time to go home…

Hows things @tyme

Re: I can’t cope

Awww @Captain24 .

No matter how big or small, any change is good at this point.

In terms of keeping in contact with people from hospital, from my experience, please set boundaries. People are often not that well and hence they are in hospital. The boundaries help you with your recovery.

I know people who have met in hospital, ended up moving in together etc, and I can't say it goes that well.

It's really attractive to stay in contact with people from hospital because they 'understand'. And I think that's what people are drawn to. Having others be able to share their experiences can be so comforting.

Please don't think I'm saying not to contact them. All I'm saying is to maintain your boundaries.

I hope you are okay with me saying this. I can remove it otherwise.

You know I care.

Re: I can’t cope

I think it will be ok. @tyme. We are pretty boundary orientated in here. Even when 5 of them were in isolation the group chat was pretty light. I will take it on board and be careful.

I think I can get through this. It’s not going to be easy but I think ‘Ive got this’. Thats the first time I can say that.

Re: I can’t cope

Wow, @Captain24 ! After a tough day where you said you weren't OK and where you had a breakdown, you ended the day by saying you've got this! I'm so impressed at you asking for help and glad that you received it.

Well done for going to the groups yesterday too.

Sending good wishes... 💙
