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

@Former-Member, I meant as long as you are physically okay, important to know after SH. There are no judgements, lil sis, just caring about your wellbeing.

@Former-Member 💛

I don't know if this is something that would help, but what about writing whatever it is you are saying to yourself when you want to SH on paper. In big, ugly, angry words if that's how you're feeling? Like really scratch them into the paper. Or tiny, sad, broken kind of writing?

I'm here @Former-Member. Ive heard many members here recommend holding an ice cube or two in their hand when they have strong SH urges. By letting the ice melt in your hand, you are putting all the pain into your palm
Can you try that instead.

Re: Depression- Really Struggling- may be triggering

My best advice would be this @Former-Member ....

Take a fine tip art line marker and copy a tattoo onto your skin. Draw on yourself. But it needs to be a positive image.

Can you copy your lil caterpillar onto your arm ?

The purpose of a positive image is to balance out the negativity you are feeling, helping in a small step to counter-weigh it .... to pull back from that direction.

@Former-Member I like @Faith-and-Hope suggestion of a positive image tattoo.
3 images.
