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

Yep still important - when is the next appt? Do you need an action plan for making the call (eg.list of required conditions - 15mins where you won't be bothered, phone access, pen/paper, whatever else you need, and plan of when those requirements will be met)?

Re: Depression- Really Struggling- may be triggering

ok so i not long got off the phone to my current psychologist and we have discussed a few things over the phone and shes explained things abit more and that she really wasnt trying to make me feel like i was being judged and we got into not wanting to talk about certain things and how we would like to proceed from here and as i only have 4 sessions left we are going to focus on coping strategies and a few other things rather than trying to delve into all my realtionships and going in circles etc

Oh look .... it's all worked out quite well @Former-Member ..... sorry I wasn't available there for a while. I had an appointment of my own.

I hope the rest of your afternoon works out just as well.

I agree with the strategies put forward by @TheVorticon .... they are worth keeping in mind for other stressful times.

Good morning (again lol) @Former-Member. My plans are crochet, counselling, GP and then either journal crafty stuff or more crochet. Last night before little fish are back so I'm going to enjoy it as much as I can. Are you studying?

Re: Depression- Really Struggling- may be triggering

@Former-Member. I have a load of washing almost ready to hang out and another that needs doing. I'm going to drag my 14 year old out of bed - it's 11.30!!!!
Then I'll get him to help me weed some of the front garden. The cooch grass has invaded my agapanthas.
Remember to take 5 minutes to focus on your breathing. Push all negatives to the side.
After breathing - set yourself half an hour of revision. Small steps. Then reward yourself with a healthy yummy lunch
