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

You have plenty here @Former-Member

Deep breaths, try to slow down whats happening in your head and get in touch with your body. Have you had a chance to look at those breathing exercies @utopia was talking about? You can find them here

I saw your post re assignments, I'll pop int here and say hi too 🙂

Be gentle with yourslef @Former-Member acts of love and kindness for yourself if you can.

Re: Depression- Really Struggling- may be triggering

@Former-Member & @Former-Member. If I joined in on pictionary - we would have a major crisis on the forum. When I've played this in the past, people get REALLY frustrated with my drawings. I often hear the phrase "but that doesn't even look like an animal let alone a cat". Lol. So I might just sit out and watch you guys play.
At @Former-Member. Did you have a look at my breathing thread?
It really makes a huge difference. You do need to practice twice a day, everyday. But it has helped me stop myself from getting anxious.

Re: Depression- Really Struggling- may be triggering

Really really really struggling does not sound like a good place to be in @Former-Member but seriously how great to hear that you're about to see week 1 through (i didn't know this!)?

What have you found the most helpful thing for you? What have you done to stop the SH for the last 6 days?
