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

Maybe they're also really busy @Former-Member? It can feel really sucky when people don't seem to have 2 minutes to spare 😞

This has been going on for months @CheerBear theyve becoming more and more distant.
When they do answer its so simple like yep or no
Ok or good. Then the conversation ends

That's really tough then and I'm sorry to hear your friends aren't around when it seems as if you most need them. Sometimes our 'stuff' can be overwhelming for people. Do you have any kind of peer support groups locally you can join and try to connect with new people who might understand what you're going through a bit more?

Nope @CheerBear
I have no one outside if here
And i hardley involve them in my MI as i didnt want our friendship based on it. Its all common things like horses and riding and just general things.

Re: Depression- Really Struggling- may be triggering

Do you think I should ask them about it?

Re: Depression- Really Struggling- may be triggering

It might be worth asking @Former-Member - then you will be able to at least stop trying to guess what's going on

Re: Depression- Really Struggling- may be triggering

Hey @Former-Member, I've had some experience of this myself with 'friends'. In the end all I could do was be honest with them, and honest with myself. If they aren't there for me when I need them- then they aren't really friends are they? It's hard being honest, but they say it's the best policy for a reason. I guess for me it was freeing finally not having to deal with the uncertainty of the friendship and felt more comfortable just letting it go and knowing that one day I will make friends that actually enrich my life, as opposed to making me feel like less than I am/deserve. Does that make sense?

But at the end of the day you have to do what is comfortable for you.

Re: Depression- Really Struggling- may be triggering

Maybe start with how you're feeling. I find tricky conversations often go better if i avoid anything that might come across as attacking. So rather than say "why have you been ignoring me?" (Not that you would necessarily do that but just as an example), perhaps you could say "I'm feeling like we've grown apart and I'm missing your company". Something like that might be a good place to start?

Hi @Former-Member

Yeah it doea make sense.
I was going to send them a messege tomorrow and ask if there was something wrong but i know what the answer would be to that and its would be no its just your anxiety so im trying to expand it or think of another way to say it
