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

Re: Depression- Really Struggling- may be triggering

the only thing that would help be easier is if i werent here at all. i wouldnt be the burden that i am and i wouldnt have to live with these memories. i dont know what to do anymore.
i got told today that i never speak about my family but i do. they asked me do i ever ask for help from them- well yeah i ahve a few times and i get shot down every single time- gorw up, stop being a baby, get over it. @May_ i was also asked do i ever help my family well thats my whole life- looking after my nan before she passed, looking after my mu, looking after the horses, looking after my sisters and their pets if they arent home. organising and doing activities with everyone .

im constanlty tormented by memories and there isnt a day that goes by that im not triggered and it makes life very difficult.
oits also very difficult for me to make friends and to also go out and socialise. sometimes its not just as easy as get out of the house.
when i do get out of the hosue i get in trouble for stupid things -like i didnt do this before i left or u didnt give me any ntoice or why i didnt give then ins and outs of every single tiny detail and get told that im always out and when im at home they always say y dont you go out. i cant friggin win!

i dont know what to do any more, i cant feel much and when i do it completly knocks me around.

after monday and then yesterday and now today- ive obviously deserved this assult, and traumatic events, and things being ripped away from me and not having much of a childhood and what childhood i did have it ten minutes away and i cant even be there

Hi @Former-Member,

Sorry to hear you’re having such a hard time today. Sounds like you’re getting a bit closer to finding out what is going on with this lump, however, I read that your doctor also want you to have a pap-smear, which understandably is probably quite triggering and stressful for you. I realise that it’s hard for you to reach out to people in your life right now, but perhaps it might be a good time to contact a service like LifeLine (13 11 14) or Suicide Call Back Service (1300 659 467) to talk about how you’re feeling. We really want to make sure you are feeling safe right now, however, as you know, we are quite limited in the kind of immediate support we can provide over the Forums, so we really encourage you to get in touch with one of these services.

Hope you are feeling better soon!

supernova.

Re: Depression- Really Struggling- may be triggering

Hi @Former-Member,

It sounds like you are super struggling today. No one deserves to be assulted or abused. I'm not sure what your rationale is for thinking otherwise. There are many people here in Forum Land who have experienced abuse, including myself. Do you truly believe that any of these people deserved it? And if not, then how would it make sense to think that you deserved it?

I'm not sure who you were talking to today, but it sounds like it wasn't a very helpful conversation. I find that people often say dumb a*rse things simply because they don't know what to say. That's why I have pretty much given up trying to reach out for support. I have found that unless someone knows the whole muddle, they tend to say overly simplistic things, which I experience as invalidating and this then increases my distress.

I hope you are able to ride the wave of the big feelings, knowing that these waves always pass.

Hey @Former-Member - sending you huge hugs. I've been thinking a little about some of this today and will come back later when I have some time to properly reply but wanted to send you some 💛 until then. Breathe, be gentle and try to talk to yourself the way you'd talk to one of us if we were struggling like you are. Chat soon hopefully 💕
