Re: I can’t cope

I’m really tired. Really drained. Really exhausted. I’m alone but don’t want anyone. I feel sick. I’m aching. My body hurts. My heart hurts. 

Re: I can’t cope

hi @Captain24 i'm so sorry to hear how exhausting its been for you. is it work-related exhaustion, or perhaps a mix of things making it feel heavy?

 

just know that i'm here for you 💙

Re: I can’t cope

It’s everything @rav3n 

Re: I can’t cope

ohh gosh, i can hear how that would make it even more exhausting @Captain24 do wanna chat about it more or chat about something else? let me know how i can support you tonight 💙

Re: I can’t cope

I just can’t @rav3n. I just can’t be. I just can’t anything.

Im sorry. Don’t waste your time. I’m a lost cause. 

Too much pain

Re: I can’t cope

@Captain24 i assure you, you are NOT a lost cause and you are NOT a waste. all you have to be is you.

 

i'm here for you because 1. i want to be here, 2. you deserve someone to sit with you. 

 

i'm so sorry that the pain is so overwhelming. if you prefer to step away from the forums to stay safe, that's totally okay. but i'll still be here, you're not alone. 

Re: I can’t cope

I’ve taken my meds @rav3n hoping they put me to sleep real soon. 

I’m not a good enough person. I’m horrible. I don’t deserve anyone. If it wasn’t for the dogs no one would love me. The only love I receive is from them. I don’t deserve them. 

My obsession right now is my dogs. I have to try and think of them. They would miss me I think. Maybe not. They’d go to mum and dad. 

Re: I can’t cope

may ask, what makes you think you're not a good person? @Captain24 because from my point of view, i haven't seen/heard anything that suggests you're not a good person. 

 

i get the feeling that your dogs love you more than you think. and i know that us mods have so much love and care for you too. 

 

i definitely think your dogs would miss you. 

 

i know it's hard staying safe when a part of you doesn't want to be, i'm really proud of you for trying. 

Re: I can’t cope

I don’t think of anyone else. Im just selfish and stupid. That’s what my old psych told me anyway. @rav3n. She said that after an attempt. It has stuck with me way more than it should. Plus I never ring people. I never reach out to others. I don’t go anywhere other than the supermarket and work. If people talk to me I try not to listen to what they say. I have enough doom and gloom I don’t need theirs as well.

See.. a horrible person. Even my old psych said so. 

Some of you maybe but defs not all! But I’m just a name behind a screen. Someone that never moves forward. Someone that is stuck in the same continual loop. 

I tell myself that they wouldn’t and sometimes I don’t think they would but other times I think they’d miss me. 

are around this weekend at all? 

Re: I can’t cope

@Captain24 sounds a lot like the old psych was the horrible person, not you... i think a good person, especially when someone's attempted and clearly hurting, would empathise and show kindness... which seems to be the opposite of what your old psych did and i'm so sorry you had to experience that. i've got a strong feeling that your new psych would not have treated you like that, and would've been much more kind and understanding (which is what you deserve!)

 

honestly, i've had periods where myself or even my friends have completely withdrawn or haven't reached out much - and from my own experience with social anxiety and depression, i know how it can be to keep in touch. so please don't be too hard on yourself. 

 

i won't speak for all mods (although i'm sure they'd agree with me), but for me - you and the members on the forums aren't just names on a screen. you are a real person, and i think about you and other members at random times when i'm not working either... i'll just randomly think 'hmm i wonder how cap's today, hope her training went well'. being stuck in a loop or struggling to move forward aren't reasons for us not to care- we will always care about you during your ups and downs.

 

i truly think they would, you've been there for them so much, i think it'd be impossible for them not to miss you. 

 

yep, i'll be around tomorrow morning and sunday evening!
