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

nope not really but that other thread was way to triggering to other members and i think it was best if i deleted it. sorry for causing such a stir of emotions. that trueley wasnt the intentions and its stirred up more feelings for myself and i also appreciated your answers as well

@Adge i want you to know i read your answers to the other thread and i appreciate you answering that

Re: Depression- Really Struggling- may be triggering

Thanks @Former-Member I found your questions very relevant, & very helpful to think about.

I have been a moderator on a childhood abuse forum for several years (before it closed) - we need to take responsibility for our own reactions.

No one had to read or reply to your thread unless they wanted to - it was their choice.

@Former-MemberI appreciated the opportunity to write about those issues for the first time (virtually ever). What happened to my post (reply)?

i know @Adge but i triggered people and i didnt put trigger warning on it either.

i would have loved to have met some other survivors and see and if they had the same thoughts and similarities to myself but i think it was better to remove it

your quite welcome to post it on my other sexual abuse thread- i can tag you in it if you like so its easier for you to find and good on you for posting it i know its not easy to do esp the first few times. the post was removed before anyone read it im not sure why it was removed but i got the email for it so was able to read it that way

Re: Depression- Really Struggling- may be triggering

Hi @Former-Member, I totally get the need to want to talk about it. It's not the kind of thing that you can talk about except online. I've made similar posts to yours, asking similar questions. I kinda wish we could have a closed room on these forums, kinda like in the old school days of chat rooms. But I'm not sure it's possible on this site.
I think everyone knows that you didn't mean to trigger others. And I don't think anyone took offence. Don't beat yourself up about it. We all sometimes post triggering things, whether we mean to or not.

What's important is that you take care of yourself right now and make sure you are okay.

I hope that things feel better for you soon @Former-Member - being back home.

I'm off to bed very soon (very tired).

Thanks for @ mentioning me in this thread.
