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 love all of those suggestions @utopia .... and I would love to see someone cover themselves in drawings rather than SH .... even a whole bunch of little love hearts, and colouring them in in texts colours.

I am happy to post images of body art for drawing when I am at home and with my iPad ..... I am out walking at the moment. Yeah ... I know .... using data .... but I miss y'all and need my exercise too ....

Zoe suggested to me yesterday that because I've had to cancel my appointment to get a tattoo - that I should just draw one on. Lol @Faith-and-Hope. I don't think zoe understands that I have no talent for drawing even a straight line.
@Former-Member what about flowers?

Re: Depression- Really Struggling- may be triggering

@Former-Member - would it help if the people who know you here say something positive that they believe about you that you can write on yourself?

If so this is my one for you:

"I am kind"

@utopia, @Pepsimax, @Faith-and-Hope, @Shaz51?

hi @Pepsimax @Faith-and-Hope@Shaz51@utopia@Former-Member

thank you all for your ideas, the ice cube doesnt work for me

but i havent tried the drawing thing, i dont sh on my wrist, i do it on up upper thigh so i can hide it would that be a better place instead?

i like the love hearts and flowers idea, i could try and draw a caterpillar...

@Former-Member @utopia @Faith-and-Hope how about a sunflower

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

Re: Depression- Really Struggling- may be triggering

Re: Depression- Really Struggling- may be triggering

Good idea @Former-Member. It's important to be reminded of our true self & not always focus on our MI.
For @Former-Member I would say;
"I am a true friend".
