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,

Sorry you've got a migraine. One of the coping strategies you listed on that thread was 'progressive muscle relaxation'. Maybe that would help, even if you just do it for the area around your neck and head. Do you do that much? Sometimes that helps me get to sleep when I'm anxious.

Ive tried it before but i think the deep breathing works abit better @Mazarita but maybe i could try just doing the head and neck and do deep breathing too ❤❤❤

Thanks for all your help @Mazarita


And morning all ❤

Re: Depression- Really Struggling- may be triggering

@Former-Member, yes the deep breathing is probably the best even for a migraine. I was thinking maybe you might get sick of hearing people say that so came up with a new one that sometimes works here. I have a bad headache this morning too, not a migraine, but related to neck and shoulder problems and being up all night. I'm feel strung out but calm about it. Have you made any decisions about going or not going to things? Or are you going to play it by ear and see how you feel with things as you go along?

Re: Depression- Really Struggling- may be triggering

I dont mind your suggestions @Mazarita
I take on board what i can ❤❤❤
Hopefully your headache gets better for you
Ive got to go to my gp as im not doing so well and i dont really want to call lifeline again so im going there and im worried about something else going wrong physically as well so time for a checkup i think. Counsellor is a must I guess aswell even though i dont want to talk
Osteo i dont really want playing with my neck and podiatrist i think i have to go to for my foot

Re: Depression- Really Struggling- may be triggering

@Former-Member, that's great that you take on board what you can. I have to admit I'm a bit rebellious when it comes to people giving me advice, but I do hear it all, think about it and, like you, take on board what is helpful to me. Sounds like you could back out of your osteopath appointment for today if you are feeling something's got to give in your list of things to do...

Re: Depression- Really Struggling- may be triggering

Yeah @Mazarita i just cancelled it. Im already rushing around taking the kids to school and i still have to get to the shops and my depression is through the floor again unfortunately so gp and counseling is a must today. I dont know how well im going to walk out of either of these but i think it might be best

Bad day just got worse @Mazarita

Re: Depression- Really Struggling- may be triggering

Take a big deep breathe @Former-Member - agree with everything she says calmly and get through this little period. You don't have to really agree - just do it to keep the situation calm. I'm here for you little monster - just breathe - touch your shoulder and feel me there xxx
