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

@Faith-and-Hope thank you for all the ideas i didnt realise just the simple things were self care as well. Did you want me to make the same promise to you as i just did to Zoe and Shaz?

Re: Depression- Really Struggling- may be triggering

Absolutely @Former-Member .... ❣

And work on exchanges ....

Every time a sh moment arrives, try to exchange a sh action for a sc one .... your brains has learned to identify sh as sc by default ..... and you need to re-train it to recognise sc .....

Even the fact that you weren't recognising simple things as sc shows that you need to increase your awareness of sc.

Something that really helps is stopping and focussing on just how good it feels to have a sc moment when you are in that moment .... so you start to develop more positive memory association that helps to draw you to sc actions over sh ones .....

It takes time to do this @lik-caterpillar, but try to start with those baby steps today ..... one sc action is doable ..., even just increasing the amount of water we drink can go on that list .... and remember to feel for a moment what it is like to feed yourself with hydration.

Thanks @Former-Member 🙂 he's so cuddly, when I look after him I only feed him John West Tuna and Sardines, or other human foods 🙂 do you have a cat or are you going to get one?

No i dont have a cat or intend on getting one but i did have 2 at one stage but we ended up moving houses and we gave them to the neighbour who loved them @Dothemo.

He sure is @Former-Member! My sister's ex was really mean to him (don't worry, he's gone now!) and didn't feed him much so now I make sure he's loved and stuffed full of food when I get him 🙂 I'll try and post a picture of feeding time
