It's tough today

It's tough today

TW

Guys, I just need to talk. I am feeling so low that I just can't see myself pulling out of this one. I have no reason to, and nothing in my life to look forward to.

I mentioned some time ago that my ex-psy gave me a terminal diagnosis when he so sadistically traumatized me 3 years ago after undermining everything I had worked to achieve. I can't recover. Being suicidal for 3 years has taken a toll. I decided to fill in my remaining time with things I had wanted to achieve. I have done this and there's now nothing else left to do.

I have withdrawn from my course which had been keeping me going. Dealing with such an array of personalities among the staff was doing my head in. They were like 'a box of chocolates', never knowing which flavour would present next. I find better teaching on YouTube. And that is actual teaching, not prerecorded videos.

I can't live without my daughters, or with the lies that have been told about me. I only know of three major ones, so who knows what else has been said? I can't defend/deny what I do not know, and there would be no point in it anyway. No-one has ever been my champion.

Mother's Day will be hard this year. The last one I had with my family, they pretended that it was just an ordinary day until their disrespect brought me to tears. I gave them my best, my all, and had prided myself on it.

I have nothing to live for anymore and I won't try any more socialising. I am now officially a recluse. Every day is becoming more of a drudge, and everyone is waiting for me to finish what they started. It's hard to take. I'm just winding down.

I've resigned myself to the fact that this is just my fate. I tried to change it, to change course, but it all just keeps happening in different settings. There's nothing left to try, and I haven't got the strength anyway. I'm just broken.

I guess I'm just getting in early to say that I have enjoyed your company and support through the past 3 years, and to thank you for it. I hope others have enjoyed my company too. It's been a treat to banter with everyone. I'll limp on a while longer.

Still safe. (No private emails, please, moderators).

Re: It's tough today

Gosh, there really ought to be a better way to drop in and find someone, @chibam! I have had to trawl back through pages of responses and supports to find a link to you again. Perhaps I'm just not using the resources correctly.

So, how have you been? Same old, same old? That's how it is here. I just wanted to do a check-in with you. Winter is on our doorstep and it's really chilling down here. I have everything ready to hibernate for the season. Washing has been known to freeze on the clothesline, here. It would be nice to be a skier, but even if there were no other hindrances, my left knee has ligament damage, and my right hip was damaged in a tussle with a supermarket trolley some time ago. Both like to hinder any serious physical expenditure.

Hoping this finds you doing alright. Sending best wishes.

Re: It's tough today

@Historylover I love your thoughtful posts. Just sending a hallo.

When I want to tag someone I keep with the @symbol and after the usual drop down of all thread contributors it will usuall come up with a link if you put in most of the name. Not sure if that makes sense??

I am looking forward to a quiet day after gallivanting about town. I just have a zoom with my counsellor.

Take Care all..

Love my opera, @Appleblossom, and although I only like the sound and lack the inside knowledge, I know his voice anywhere. All the stars are getting older!

Hi @Historylover . 🙂 Thanks for the kind thoughts.

Weekend was a bit rough, but yeah, otherwise it's been same old same old.

Sorry to hear about your ailments. I know winter gets rough for many people in that regard (aggrivating old injuries, ect.) The frosty days and nights aren't great, I know. But personally, I've come to prefer them to the scorching hot days of summer. At least in winter I can curl up under a quilt and get to sleep; but the worst summer nights just leave me tossing and turning in an uncomfortable sweat.

Wishing you all the best for the oncoming winter! 🙂
