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

Do you know any focus breathing. I know it's impossible to breath in the left nostril and out the right, but it can help you focus. Or whatever one your comfortable with

I think you need to put on a funny movie that always makes you feel good and lay in bed and and just slowly switch your brain off for a while. Your working your self up. Sleep is what you need.

Re: Depression- Really Struggling- may be triggering

then @Former-Member, like @utopia said.. you reassure yourself... your pop is there.. you know there is nobody there, you know you are safe..... etc etc

and that is the process you need to use every time this happens so it starts happening less and less because you learn to do this automatically. and your anxiety slowly lessens or at least becomes more controllable.

Snuggle into your bed @Former-Member. I'm off to sleep now. Hopefully we'll both be snoring within half an hour.
Sweet Dreams. I hope I dream of the Butterfly Ball. Will probably see some of your animals there.

Im really not coping the best @Faith-and-Hope
I cant do this 😞
I think im going to explode and ive already had a mental breakdown and im.on the verge of another one. I dont know what to do. I just want to hide away and never come out.
After todays and yesterday's events i think i could be more flatter than tje floor. I cant do it all the time

Re: Depression- Really Struggling- may be triggering

First thing you need to do is breathe @Former-Member .... lean back in your chair, close your eyes .... breathe in deeply through your nose .... hold your breath for a few seconds .... then breathe it right out through your mouth.

Wait a second or two, then do it again.

Aim for five deep breaths like that because it helps to calm your mind, and your physical body, and stop the spiralling thoughts in their tracks.

Then go and make a cup of tea ... any sort .... because the act of making a cup of tea is a firm of mindfulness .... keeping you in the moment and focussed just on what is in front of you and around you. The warm cup held in your hands is grounding too ... as is the smell of the tea .... breathe it in .... think about how it smells.

This is engaging your senses to be in the here and now, and calm your system that way too.

Back to basics .... make sure you are eating and sleeping as well as you can. It's important for emotional regulation. Exercise really helps too .... and activities like your drawing and colouring.

I hope this helps ....

🤗❤️💕
