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

hi everyone @Pepsimax@Faith-and-Hope@utopia@Owlunar@Spookytookims@CheerBear@NikNik

just abit of an update for you. i just got out of my therapist appointment.

i think it quite well. we discussed my dissosiation and worked out how to do respond for that which is mindfullness.

im still stuck as to another therapist but we discussed working on one of my triggers that i feel ready for which is sirens.

my homework is to prcatice mindfullness and deep breathing daily even when im good and really notice how i feel my thoughts and things as well

i wont see her next week but ive met another therapist to see and i met today which is nice. im onyl seeing another one becasue im going away and my therapist cant fit me in on the monday of next week.

continue my journalling as well and contrgrats on beeing 1 week of no Self harm !

Re: Depression- Really Struggling- may be triggering

oh that all sounds really postive @Former-Member I'm a huge believer in the focus to pull back from triggers. So those mindful exercises and the breathing are really important to be practiced, to bring us "back", focus us our thoughts and bring us back into the moment. Into the 'real'.

To me that's a good trigger, from the bad trigger. We retrain our brains to react to our good trigger so we control them rather than the bad trigger controlling us. 😄

Yes @Spookytookims the easiest is actually the easiest but still super bad trigger at the same time but to move forward just a bit i think i have to take that step and this is a massive step

Re: Depression- Really Struggling- may be triggering

Well done @Former-Member. 1 week with no SH. A great achievement. And focusing on breathing and mindfulness exercises, will really help with your anxiety. Brilliant work.
