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

@NikNik is probably on to something there! Strategies for coping right now in the moment,

Can you put some music on? Or a meditation type of thing (smiling mind?) Grounding type things, look around the room, feel something in your hands. Throw something up in the air and catch it a few times.

Deep breathing of course

and knowing that we're here with you,

@Former-Member

im sorry your family treated you like that. i know how you feel.

i dont know what i want anymore. i dont know what i want to do.

im struggling so much i dont even know what give me joy anymore, i feel like ive lost everything esp over the past few weeks. i think the only thing that keeps me going is being on here sometimes

i dont even know what i did or done. my mother wont talk to me she just growls at me and tells me to get over it.. ive tried that, oh ive tried to so bad but i just cant. so hey i fail at that too. 😞

@Former-Member imagine yourself here...

Re: Depression- Really Struggling- may be triggering

how about we focus on something else for distraction @Former-Member? You could always ask me anything about your medical terminology that you're studying... I find study a good distraction.

Re: Depression- Really Struggling- may be triggering

I was doing something the other night that might be something you could try @Former-Member. This might sound super strange but stick with me. I love pinterest and I decided to create a board called "feel better soon". I searched for all kinds of things. Things like 'self care strategies', 'inspiring quotes', 'recovery from depression', 'healing trauma' etc. One thing lead to another and another and I escaped into a world of things that gave me some hope, some breathing space and took my mind off how rubbish I felt. It used little mental energy and ended up being fun. You could use it equally as well as a venting board too if that would help. Maybe it isn't so much a being present and breathing tool, but it might be something new to try?

i feel like nothing @Former-Member

but i know people are here. it just doesnt feel like it right now

@NikNik @Former-Member im trying to use some of my coping strategies. im listening to music, i was studying but i couldnt concentrate and i just wasnt in the mood. i cant seem to think clearly to answer the questions .

at least being on here is ok

Re: Depression- Really Struggling- may be triggering

did you really mean what you said before @Zoe7

@Queenie i dont really know, i was trying to study but i couldnt really concentrate on it, and nothing was sinking in. my mother has really distraught me tonight, i dont really know why

@Former-Member ive never thought of that. that could be something to do

Re: Depression- Really Struggling- may be triggering

Just a thought little caterpillar @Former-Member

Try drawing 'YOUR GARDEN'. In it - at the centre- is you a strong, amazing vibrant caterpillar. Surrounding you are your butterflies, and that funny looking inchworm (sorry @Former-Member). Amongst 'your garden family' are bright beautiful flowers that bring everyone joy - and you are the CENTRE of that joy.

...and yes my little caterpillar 100% meant what I said - just did not want to tell you before because I thought you would think I was stupid thinking that way - but I do!

Re: Depression- Really Struggling- may be triggering

that could be a thought @Zoe7

i havent thought of that yet. i could always give that ago.

it doesnt sound silly to me at all- i thought you hated me tbh to start with

Re: Depression- Really Struggling- may be triggering

@Zoe7 has a brilliant idea @Former-Member. Could you try to envision Your Garden?
