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

Morning my little caterpillar @Former-Member

A tough night hey little one!!! I can see that you had a lot of support around you to help you get through though. This really is the most wonderful place to 'belong'!

How are you doing this morning? What are your plans for today?

Re: Depression- Really Struggling- may be triggering

Hi again my little caterpillar

I am going to give you the same advice this morning as I just gave to BB - today is a day to concentrate on minute by minute and hour by hour - you don't need to look ahead any further than that!

When you feel your thoughts or emotions start to wander - touch your shoulder and feel me there with you - holding you up, encouraging you, loving you.

You got this @Former-Member - you have proved your strength over and over again and I believe in you!

I totally get that anxiety around seeing your therapist - I will be with you little caterpillar - and here for you after. Wear your butterfly necklace and grab hold of it when you need to feel us all with you.

Goodluck my little caterpillar - you have more strength and courage within you than you know.

Zoe

@Former-Member - I was having my morning cuppa and was about to check in when I got your tag. Honestly, this is massive. You've come so far so quickly, even if sometimes you don't see that or feel it. Biggest hugs to you this morning. Well done to you 💛🌞💛

Alright @Zoe7

Q1. Identify triggers
Can i just write everything lol

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

Re: Depression- Really Struggling- may be triggering

Yep just write everything that comes into your mind - don't 'think' too much about it - just write - we'll do the 'thinking' part later @Former-Member

Re: Depression- Really Struggling- may be triggering

Do u notice anything @Zoe7..... the way i write snd 'talk'

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

Re: Depression- Really Struggling- may be triggering

Grab an extra piece of paper @Former-Member and list all the extra triggers that you haven't been able to fit in - take this with you just in case it is helpful.

Warning signs - the first one that I can see is that you start to doubt yourself - that what you have posted to someone may not be helpful or you think you may have offended someone - this is purely your self-doubt and you seem to 'go down hill' really quickly after that

Can you see that yourself?

Does that make sense to you?
