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

I can hear that you are really struggling with this at the moment @Former-Member, we are all here with you.

The important thing is that you are safe where you are. Perhaps doing some breathing techniques will be helpful and not asking you to do too much right now...If you can keep it simple and count your breaths in for 4 counts...hold you breath for 2 counts...and then breath out for 6 counts.

Just focus on the breathing and the counting and let everything else wash over you. This will pass...keep reminding yourself of that. This wont be the first time your feeling this way..you can get through this.

Breathing doesn't help for this @Former-Member
I dont know what does

Re: Depression- Really Struggling- may be triggering

I find going for a run helps- it gets me focused on the sensation of running and trying the breath. Same with swimming actually. Do you dance? Maybe put on some loud music and get the feelings out?
I find I need to do something to get my attention wholly on something else- does drawing do that for you?

hey @Former-Member I just got some emails and it seems like you are having a really bad time... sorry to hear that sweety. I won't ask if you are ok, cos I can tell you aren't. Was it the card you mentioned that has been the biggie?

Re: Depression- Really Struggling- may be triggering

No im not ok @Spookytookims
It was the card and also had a rough day and lost another friend

Re: Depression- Really Struggling- may be triggering

are you sure you lost your friend or is it just something that will pass and it's just a hiccup? @Former-Member Sometimes things happen that are only temporary and talking it out can help mend it. What makes you think you can't mend it?

Re: Depression- Really Struggling- may be triggering

No it cant keep being fixed @Spookytookims
This is the 4th time ive tried to fix it but nope not again. She can make the next effort

Sending hugs to you @Former-Member. Sorry things are really hard at the moment

In response to: Re: Depression- Really Struggling- may be triggering

Re: Depression- Really Struggling- may be triggering

@Former-Membersorry I was posting elsewhere and it was quite a long post. Yes 4 times is enough and you are right, she should now try to rethink and reach out to you next. Sorry it has come to that, sometimes people just don't understand or don't want to. That's very hard when it happens. Acceptance is the next step, and that can be very hard to come to terms with to get to that when you lose a friend.
