....sorry to take up your time....but I have to talk......my emotions of self worthlessness are taking over now...mostly because I was harshly reprimanded in the chat room for "hogging" it all day.....and being overly dramatic and an attention *****....

I thought the chat was there for people to talk to like minded peers about things they have problems with......but whenever I do....it's "She's hogging all the attention"....."such a drama queen"....

When they suggest ways to better myself....offer advice...it's stuff I can't actually do.....i.e. getting out of the house when I am unable to drive, or take a bus, or have family take me places......HOW THE HELL CAN I GET OUT MORE? TELL ME?!?!?!?!?!?!?!??!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!

Oh, and exercise....I understand it releases endorphins and all that...I really do, but I'm limited to what I can physically do due to severe asthma...and especially right now, as I have a cold....

FOR GOD'S SAKE.....THOSE AREN'T EXCUSES.........I LITERALLY CANNOT DO THOSE THINGS FOR REASONS THAT ARE BEYOND MY CONTROL.....so stop acting like I am making excuses.....(sorry....I was told I make too many excuses too, and am tired of that accusation).

Now......I just want to curl up in a ball and disappear. Or maybe......just go do something more...I dunno....permanent.....

But noooooo, I'd be guilt tripping and manipulating people........I can't even be depressed without feeling bad about it.....

Please though....don't give me pity.....I hate that stuff......it's stupid.....and meaningless.....

I...sorry. This is probably why I don't have any friends.....or why nobody wants to hang around with me......

...well I'm tired of it....just so very god damned tired.....

Artchic, sleep is the ultimate healer. A good nite's rest is very soothing. Usually a warm shower and some soft music and some warm covers and I am going off to sleep.

I guess some people in the forum are complaining in a less than tactful way requesting more time for themselves.

Do you have a t that you can get their undivided attention?

There is also a bipolar chat but everyone gets a chance to share. Much of what I learned there was from listening.

I know there are times we all just feel blah, but see if a good nite's sleep helps.

I would love nothing more than to fall into a deep relaxing sleep...I'll try it...but I don't hold out much promise it'll happen seeing that I'm wide awake....and can barely breathe out of my nose due to my cold.....

I just...you know...thought this time things would be different....that people would be more understanding here at Psych Central. Never will I get my hopes up again. I am not going to see them get dashed, and feel the utter misery as I cry and feel generally hopeless.....

One too many times they have been dashed.....one too many times....never again.

I am sorry that you're feeling hopeless right now. I can relate with the core issue that you are struggling with... low self-worth. That is a really tough issue to fight. There aren't any quick (or even reasonably quick) fixes. It takes time, effort, accomplishments, as well as support from others.

Getting into this state of mind does not happen overnight ~ and neither does repair. Instead, we have to put up little band-aids to get us through the moment. Yes, I DO mean moment. We have to take our lives moment by moment, what's happening now. Not last week, 10 years ago, or what will happen. No. We need to focus on now to get us through. Why? Because if we cannot get through this very moment without losing it, then we really do need to go in for help.

Go in= call 911, and have them pick you up to take you to the hospital. It isn't fun or easy, but I have had to do that before. That is why I say that you need to focus on right now if this all boils down to low self-esteem. Watch a sitcom or funny movie, and then try to get some sleep. Drink some peppermint hot tea, with lemon and honey (if you've got it). That helps open the nasal passages, to make breathing easier. Even if it doesn't work, you're going to need sleep sooner or later. Vicks Vapo-Rub helps a lot too (any menthol body cream/lotion), spread it on your chest & neck.

I've got to get to sleep myself, so I'd better go. Just wanted you to know that I can understand low self-worth. I hope that you are able to get some sleep soon and feel a little better as well. Remember to stay in this moment. Okay?

You experienced common Chat Room Bullying. Bulling is all about control. Someone was Controlling you with those accusations. The bully is the drama queen, and wants all the attention.
Thanks for this!

I am sorry you were disappointed in the chat room. It is important to understand the ages and capabilities of the others in the room with you though. When you get the type of responses you are discribing what that is saying is "I don't know how to help you and comfort you". People will give out suggestions like what you have discribed, they "try" to be helpful in making those suggestions. However, when you say how you can't do any of the things suggested and keep asking for more, unfortunately if another person doesn't know what else to say, they can get "frustrated".

Remember, most of the members in those chat rooms are struggling themselves and none of them are "professionals" either.

Sorry you are struggling so much though, yeah, it can be a challenge and lonely. I take it one day at a time, and to be honest, I have had many challenging days myself too.

They bullied me in the chat room too. I stay out of there and only post in the forum that way i only get feed back from those who are interested in what i have to say. We all have to understand that people here all have some kind of issue that they are dealing with and not all understand everyones situation. Do not take it personal! We love u here on the forum. Big hugs and breathe. It will pass and be forgotten. Let the negative go... Surround yourself with the positve. Big hugs. Here if u need to talk.
