Something’s not right

Depression- Really Struggling- may be triggering

Depression- Really Struggling- may be triggering

I realise how little i mean to people. i mean nothing.
its abit like walking down a long dark street never knowing when a light might flick on to show me the way or give me some hope.
im tired of trying. tired of hoping. tired of coping. tired of exisiting. tired of breathing. i think im done.
dear everyone that knows me, im sorry im such a disapointment. im sorry i cant live up to your expectations. im sorry i was born. im sorry if ive hurt you. im sorry if ive made you miserable. i deserve all the blame and hatred i have gotten. everything is my fault and im sorry.
im locked within the walls of my own minds and i just cant escape it.
Pain. Pain all the time. It runs through my veins a fast flowing river with nothing there to stop it.
Just get over it they say. i wish i could, im living minute by minute, hour by hour, day by day. im struggling with memories that haunt me everyday and i dont think they will ever fade.
my thoughts are overwhelming and what hurts me the most is when people pretend to care but really they dont.
im so scared. things just arent the same anymore. im not doing anything right anymore. ive lsot myself, the person i once knew isnt here anymore. i dont know what to do anymore. i feel like i dont belong here or in reality. no where. i have constant feelings of being unworthy and hopeless, of being a prisioner in my own body.
i have so much pain physically and mentally. i try to stay happy. i try to keep smiling. i try to be brave. i try to be stong. i try to act like everything is ok but im far from it.
i never know when im going to have a 'good' day and at any minute im triggered and takes such a long time to recover.
there are monsters living inside me, attacking me, ripping me apart from the inside. i dont think its ever going to end
but its ok "ill just have to get over it" just as expected

Hugs you too @Former-Member .... was about to come looking for you .....

@Former-Member .... do the best you can to stay safe, and reach for all your supports to help you ..... you need to become a friend to yourself .... what would you suggest to your friend to help keep her safe and nurtured ? @Former-Member makes herself a special high-nutrition soup as a part of her self-care, and eats it across a few days before making a new batch.

Start a list of self-care activities and try to do one every day to start with. These are the things that help us to stay safe and keep moving forward.

Re: Depression- Really Struggling- may be triggering

Hi @Former-Member,

Hope you're doing okay. I saw you posted a bunch of great ideas for self-care activities in this thread yesterday. So helpful! I wonder if any of those could be good to try right now???

Re: Depression- Really Struggling- may be triggering

Eating well is one of them @Former-Member .... so plan at least one thing into your day that is healthy eating.

Resting your feet in a bucket of warm or cook water (whichever is going to feel best) while you rest or work is another ... with something nice smelling and some flower petals. Your sisters would like that one ......

Playing calming music is self-care.

Going for a walk, or sitting outside to rest or work.

Squeezing a stress ball (or adult play-dough - it's not just for kids)

Wearing your favourite colour, maybe as a nail polish so you see it on your fingers as you work.

Jigsaws

Playing a board game

Sleeping

Breathing exercises

Reading about things that interest you, lie garden creatures

Gardening

Others can add to the list .....

💙💕
