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

feel the warmth @Former-Member your community are rallying around you

Be kind and gentle with yourself, all feelings are ok to feel, I know some can be harder to manage than others but allowing and giving oursleves permission to feel all feelings is important too.

thanks guys

how long did it take for you to see some progress with your sessions?

i feel like crap everytime i come out of there and today was made worse becasue she embarrassed me- unintentionally but now i feel really awkward around her and that was pretty much most of the session.

maybe i should just get over it and quit 😞

We were in the seasions and talking about aome things and when i get embarrassed or other feelings i tend to smile rather than cry. I dont know why that is but she pointed it out and now i feel awkward about it @Pepsimax@Former-Member@utopia@Faith-and-Hope

Heya @Former-Member,

Just saw this. Good on you for getting to your session today. Therapy is not easy - working through our own messy stuff is complicated and hard, and it can stir up a lot of emotions.

Therapy can help us to become more aware of our behaviours, and I think embarrassment stems from being self-conscious of behaviours that we don't want attention drawn too. When someone points something out with me, I find it really hard to not focus on it, so I can see how this could interfere with your session.

If this incident goes on to create a barrier in therapy, perhaps you could bring it up, and let her know that you feel really self-conscious about it now?

@Former-Member when I was seeing my psychologist I did exactly the same she called it a nervous response don't worry about that

Re: Depression- Really Struggling- may be triggering

If i bring it up with her shes going to think im even more of a freak @CherryBomb
Im already messed up as it is. A new motto that im using at the moment is 'do it because the paper tells me to' how stupid does that sound. Im taking orders from paper now. I really am such a screw up and a freak and i hate it.


At least it was your nerves and your therapist told you that @Pepsimax mine just blurted out why are you smiling when we are talking about depression
