Something’s not right

I need help.. PLEASE

I need help.. PLEASE

I don't even know where to start n bcos I am on my phone this is hard to write as my eyesight is going. I don't even know where to begin so will just say how I feel right now. After locking myself in my room last night because I was feeling scared, then having as usual the most realistic terrifying nightmares (not med induced as I have suffered from this all my life) I woke up and have just been huddled in my corner crying. I have been unable to do pretty much anything for such a long time n r now stuck in my house terrified to leave due to anxiety. I have far too many issues to write about at the moment as I find it hard to see my phone n my computer is being repaired. I hate to even admit this as it's disgusting but I haven't even been able to shower in well over a week. I don't know why it's so hard I just don't have the energy to do anything at all. I feel more connected with the spirit world than my life. I am not living, I am surviving barely. And tht is only bcos of my kids n family. I was suicidal for most of last year in n out of hospital. I don't focus on tht constantly anymore as I promised my daughter so in tht aspect I have no choice but to keep existing. I have zero motivation to move. I have so many health issues it's pathetic n I see no future for myself except this existing until the end. I have been broken hearted most of my life n only just today really accepted my last relationship is no longer there. It hasn't been in reality for a little while but I could not accept tht fact. I was cheated on by the narcissistic man I had let myself fall in love with. This is a huge deal to me as he's been the first person I let myself feel this way with after being hurt so traumatically over 36 yrs by the love of my life. I don't know wht to do anymore I cannot n don't want to keep just existing for the sake of others yet I promised. I am good at helping others n this is the only thing tht helps me feel worthy of anything. But I need to listen to my own words n I just aren't able to. I don't know whether it's bcos it's too hard, or bcos I really don't want to b here. Either way I am stuck in my sad corner alone. No one understands me. I talk to the souls of all those I have lost daily n honestly feel more connected to that world than this. What do I do?? I have been getting all the help avail but I still just do not have the will to help me, even when I actually want to, I don't have the energy. Sorry for this rambling. I am just so lost n so so desperate...

Hi Angel wings,

Are you able to call lifeline or is there someone you can talk to? I do understand how you are feeling, I was in a similar place about 20 years ago. Thankfully I got through it and so will you. Just keep hanging in there.

I read something today which might help .... its just a bad situation, not a bad life. You will get through this, have some faith in yourself 🙂

Hi @angel_wings

I'm so sorry you have had such a rough night last night, and now today 😞 I know you feel embarrassed about not showering, but honestly it really doesn't matter. The energy will come back to you, and when you feel up to it, you can take a shower. You have to take care of your mind first.

I know you said you promised your daughter you would not go anywhere, but I just want to check in with how your going, and remind you to call LifeLine if you don't feel safe (13 11 14)

What have you done in the past to help you cope in these situations?? Hang in there angel wings, there are a lot of people who care about you, and we are all here to support you. @Queenie is also having a hard time finding motivation to do things at the moment. Maybe they have something to say as well?

Thank you for replying. I was just about to call one of those numbers but my daughter has just come home n I need to pretend I'm fine even thru the tears. She suffers from huge anxiety n has a job interview shortly. I need to be helping her but after msgn her all last nite when she was at her dads n then my terrible sleep I just don't even have the energy to help. I feel so useless. Thank u though for replying at least I know I am not quie so alone. I am scared.

Hi Angel wings,

You are not useless, you are tired and emotional. Its hard to think clearly when we are tired. Is your daughter old enough to understand and help you?

Hello @angel_wings

Feeling more connected to the spirit world than .. the day to day life on the planet ... is how I felt for many years. It is also a state of mind that I have no doubt I will return to .. often with serenity and joy.

I would say it was for over 20 years that I stayed for others. I knew it was better to find a way to live for me .. but I did not know how to do it. I also did not really have the resources as younger people really did have greater needs.

It has been a very gradual process but I am realising that I am getting to that space .. without it being selfish or irresponsible.

It is such a delicate path to walk .. when we live with adult children .. are mindful of their vulnerabilities, but that we are also frail .. there needs to be some level of protection and privacy and some of level of honesty and sharing .. how that is carved up is open to interpretation ... so much depends on who we are.

I hope your daughter manages her job searches and am glad you are posting ...

"nice to meet you"Angelwings
