Guilty and undeserving
« on: November 23, 2012, 04:18:06 PM »
As the title suggests I feel like this a lot of the time.  Depression does this; it warps your conscious in on itself and that bit goes septic and acts like a hate spewer.  The good bit, unwarped, has to contend with feelings of guilt thrown at it by the infected section of brain that slowly eats away at your being.  It's as if we should be ashamed for being depressed.  Yet for some it is so bad you get house bound and people seem terrifying and you get wound up and angry and then....who knows what may happen.  Mostly it becomes incubated and induces lethargy and a morose existence.  But that anger is still there, rumbling away being fed by rumination and dislike turning into hate.  Those out of sorts comments that still hurt.  But it bides it's time, and it'll wait, and brood.  Just watch out.  That moment will come, that straw will snap, that person will soon realise....you don't mock or piss off someone with depression.

This is in relation to someone who keeps giving me digs about my situation.  I don't see her that often but she is nasty and her wisecracks are really bothering me.  It'll only take one more comment for me to yell at her and all that anger will be released.  Has anyone else had thoughts like this?

I know those thought, if it is all possible tell this person in a kind controlled way before you explode if it is at all possible

Yes - I know exactly how you feel! I feel that my whole being is septic & rotten & i am struggling to accept this might be the depression which might be a separate thing to who i am. My mother makes little hurtful comments all the time that make me feel like &$%+. I have felt recently that i might hurt her physically if i was in the same room as her & i cant bear to talk to her - she has no idea that her insensitive comments will be swimming around in my head for days, being magnified, amplified & confirming all the beliefs i have about myself as being a vile & despicable human being. I'm not suggesting you break contact with this person as i have no idea of your circumstances but i have asked my mum to only contact me by email at the mo & it's working for me (although now i have the guilt to deal with but i know i'ma &$%+ daughter already so this is nothing new!)

I'm not really sure.  I have two opposites that come in waves. 

Sometimes I'll be hypersensitive to anything anyone says, and usually misconstrue just about anything as a personal attack and it ends up devastating me, unknown to the person who said it.

Other times I feel hardened or numb, and I just "nothing" everyone and everything with an almost (ironically) pleasant sense of total apathy.

People can be cruel. Often without even knowing it. I spent a long time in a deep place after someone's child called me "mardy marty"! Where did that come from, I wondered. A couple of people in the room wanted to scream at this person (mostly the parent for not reprimanding the child) but I said 'leave it' but it hurt like a knife.

People who do not understand should not judge.

This person's child had to have picked up that 'name calling' from the parent(s) which meant this is what they called me too.

But, the worst part was; even my wife thought I was being a little silly letting it bother me so much. Ouch!
