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

I think maybe life just does hurt sometimes, @Former-Member. Breathe through it, relax your body and rest if that's what is needed. I've got to go out now. Will be thinking of you and sending good wishes for you feeling better soon.

I'm replying here rather than in the other thread @Former-Member because I get jumbled going from place to place and I think Spooky is busy and Bella is keeping her head afloat too so here feels a little better maybe. Keep riding that wave and flood however you can. It won't stay forever, it will change. I hear how hard it is, and want you to know that it's understandable that it's feeling hard. This is the time for doing whatever feels right, even if that's allowing yourself time for it to shift. 💕

Re: Depression- Really Struggling- may be triggering

It's so hard, i really get that. I guess the thing about our bodies/minds is you don't really even need to 'try' to let it pass. It will change, or shift, or pass or something will happen that will make it different. Not necessarily take it away or make it better, but different. It's hard to remember that there's sometimes good moments when you're in that wave, but if you think of those times you've been here before you'll see that they don't last forever (even if they feel like they will). I'm hearing you and thinking of you too, like lots of your forum family

Hi @Former-Member

In some ways that is a beautiful story - but it obviously is something to do with a hard thing that has caused you to lose your horse - and I feel so sad for you

But I don't know what to say to help - Saturday in a long weekend is a hard time to be so vulnerable

I understand though - the world has really given you such a hard time in a short time - but one thing I have 2nd hand touch with - and that is that my son loved animals more than people - and for him - animals did not let him down or hurt him - and to him it seemed that all people had

Back stories contain shadows - as your story must - my son's story does

mmm - hard to say something useful - but I think what you are feeling - as horrible as it is - is normal - and very hard to explain

Self-care - I have had that suggested to me and I just don't know what to do when I need self-care

Sending some virtual hugs - and a pic of my cat
