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

Hello @Former-Member,

You mentioned that within your body you feel sick, and you are also having some thoughts and feeling quite worried and fearful, that is a lot to be feeling right now, yu poor thing.

I'm not sure what helps you get through times when you feel like this as you have tried numerous things already, that's great you have tried all those things by the way!

Perhaps just talk to us and these feelings will past. It might be helpful to focus on today rather than those memories, try not to be scared I'm here for you alright ❤️

@Former-Member. Sorry had to go and pick up my mum. Long way to the train.
It's not about getting better, today. That's impossible today.
What today is about is getting through this minute and then the next. It's a moment by moment day.
When do you see your therapist next? What coping strategies do they recommend? What 'homework' do they recommend?
Breathe. Draw. Study. Clean. Cook. Use different activities to divert yourself and your emotions away from anxiety.
You've done this before. I know you can do it again.

ringing lifeline right now then possibly the hospital so if i dont reply straight away this is the reason that helped set off today was doing my pscyhs homework

HW- reflecting on your thoughts- what influence are they having on your behaviours, how do you see yourself, emotions and body sensations and where do i want to get to-(goals, no matter how small)

write the pros and cons of these thoughts

Re: Depression- Really Struggling- may be triggering

It's important that your psych knows your full story @Former-Member, cos she won't set you homework like that if she is aware of what it might trigger ..... it's a bit like not giving the GP all the info they need to diagnose you properly, then ending up on the wrong medication.

Maybe write down a few key words for her so she knows there is a bigger problem you are struggling to talk about.

Let her know the homework triggered you.

Breathe .....
