i feel hopeless. i thought i was getting better but things just keep happening. every bad thought and every irrational fear i had back when i was doing really bad, theyre becoming reality. i cant help but think that im truly broken beyond repair.

@disconsolate

I know what that feels like. It's a crushing feeling that no matter what you do, it doesn't get better. It's hard, VERY hard, to remember that it's just a feeling. 😊 it's not a reality. God has you here for a reason; at least that is what I believe! I'll say some prayers for you. I know it's hard...I myself am going through similar feelings at the moment. But that's what I love about 7Cups. You don't have to do it alone! 😊 take care my dear!

I feel horrible...

I feel stupid and unwanted. Why am i like this? I don't choose to be like this. Why are all the negative things happening to me? I know that i have sinned, I'm sorry okay? Can you go easy with the punishment?

I don't know how to express myself properly, the are things I want to say but really can't find the words .my greatest fear is to die, I feel it's a eternal emptiness, a darkness but a few moments a day I forgot this fear and that makes me feel uneasy

Am barely able to inhale, I hold each breath like it's the last. My chest is so tight, mind is full of depressive thoughts. Trying to get out of bed is a serious struggle beyond belief. I feel alone, insignificant, unworthy, Sick to my stomach and do not want to face my shit To-do list. But job is riding on it 2 day and homes in foreclosure. Boss/HR is forcing me 2 explain times Out Of Office (OOO) back to last Nov. I checked wrong boxes on FMLA forms, now called on carpet n jobs riding on explanations for leave. FUCKING freaking out. Daughter was raped by brother in law for YEARS, SHE IS STRONGER THAN I will ever b, she's only 13. She's a self-harmer got the help she needed he's doing so good I'm so impressed good job kid . I just want to tell her I'm so sorry for my moods, adhd, depression anxiety and sorry God gave her me as a mom. She didn't ask for this yet here we are. Someday I hope to be as strong as she is because right now I'm falling apart. What a loser right? I'm on that drawing strength from her child , that's just wrong . It should be the other way around . But since I'm the only provider in the family got to find strength somewhere. And I will. She set me up w/this app. What A GR8DAY kiddo, I'm very lucky. OK time to stop avoiding my work number face the piper. Oh this is my first time on the site & 1st post. I feel bit better, thx.

I just feel so hopeless and lonely, as though I don't deserve to be happy. I feel like an overwhelming burden to my family. It hurts me to know how much they worry about me. And I have no motivation or confidence to do anything. I just can't find a way out of this hole I've dug for myself.

I feel like I can't move, I have so much to do but no motivation :(

Like I'm a total failure. I have been trying to take care of my dog this whole time and I thought I was helping her but in reality I was just making her worse. Now it's so bad besides giving her an antibiotic and hoping for the best all I can do is wait.

Empty, but also like I have too many emotions to control. Unmotivated.
