I'm back

I'm back

Hi @NikNik @pip @Decadian@utopia@Faith-and-Hope@Former-Member@Shaz51@Former-Member @CherryBomb @Silenus moderators and friends

I knew i wouldn't last!! I need you all. who was i kidding. Hubby and I went camping for 4 days and we argued so much about how to put the tent up, which post to use, wrong post, right post, etc etc etc

I couldn't read my book that i bought because he kept talking to me. At the end i gave up. We did walk around the perimeter of the caravan park which took 1/2 hour (huge park). I managed to swim which that gave me some peace and quiet for a little while.

We just snapped at each other most of the time. And when we didn't snap we sat and hardly spoke. he is the type of guy that doesn't say much but i noticed even in the car driving up (3.5 hours) he wouldn't start a conversation. So i just looked up facebook and read the paper, or fell asleep.

The weather was beautiful (25-30 every day). But i realised that i need space to myself. We are home now and he is washing the car, I have just put a load of washing on. the kids survived without us and actually not even keen to see us 😞

My mental state is not that great. The CAT team rang me on saturday to make sure i was okay and asked about my sleeping. The psych i saw gave me some sleeping tablet but i am still adjusting and don't like the drowsiness it causes the next day. I did call them again on sunday afternoon but they had to transfer me to the place that i went to and i sadi no don't worry as hubby was coming back to me anytime and i couldn't speak while he was there.

I have an appt tomorrow to see the CAT team psych again, i also have an appt to see my own psych in the afternoon. it will be interesting to see what he has to say abut me seeing the CAT tem psych.

I knew i wouldn't last being off here, i just needed to tell someone about my weekend. And as for intimacy and sex - well there is none. And it's prob my fault because i told him last time in hospital back in July that i wasn't interested. which is still true but i am sure he would like to.

I feel like a failure for not being able to stay away from this forum, i always have good intentions, set myself a goal but never go through with it. that's where i see myself as a huge failure.

anyway, just thought i would say hi to everyone and that i have missed you all even though it's not even a week. how patethic is that.

Re: I'm back

@BlueBay. Being scared of getting better. I've felt that way before. It was when I couldn't focus on anything - or see any positives & I had SI - but didn't want to die.
The negative self talk was so loud. And I didn't know who I was anymore.
But slowly by working through each issue - I got stronger. The stronger I got - the more I learnt about myself. The more content and happy moments I had. The less negative moments I had.
You will get there. I have no doubt about that. But you will need to push yourself and focus on those positives. Like a sunny day. Jersey running along the beach. The sun and breeze on your skin. The suggestions that @Faith-and-Hope said will help you through today & then tomorrow.
Keep busy at work today.
I'll be thinking of you and sending yiu my best thoughts. ♥♥

@utopia I'm scared of pushing through this pain. It's too painful. I can't.

Hello @BlueBay

One step at a time my friend

In response to: I'm back

Re: I'm back

@BlueBay. You don't have to push through it all in one go.
As @Shaz51 said One step at a time. One issue only.
Start small. Get your confidence back.
And remember - the sun was shinning all day today. You may have had an incident that caused you anger or grief. But that incident only lasted for 5 minutes. The rest of the day was sunshine. Try and keep reminding yourself of the sunshine.
You can & will get through this.

Hi @BlueBay

I'm thinking of you.

You will get through this - one step at a time.

I try to have something planned each day and to have some free time to relax and unwind

Hi @Former-Member@utopia@Faith-and-Hope@Decadian@Change123

I'm so tired, actually exhausted mentally and physically. Don't know if i can keep going. i am really sorry guys. i have let everyone down for trying to help me. i have let myself down too.

i am so sick of being treated like shit at home. kids need to move out and see what it's like. i am just so tired i can't even type.

i am self destructive today, i want to go away and never ever come back.

i'm going now. i am so sorry.

Re: I'm back

@BlueBay. Yes you are physically and emotionally exhausted. So this is the time you do something for yourself.
Tell hubby and the kids to go out. Run a bubble bath. Put on your favourite music. Dance, sing along, hum. Just focus on the music.
Maybe later in the day - you can sit down and start creating a new mandela. A special one just for you. Or a special one for everyone on this site.
Call for help if you need it. We are here.
Don't worry about cooking and cleaning up after the family. Today is your day. Your day to relax and do quiet peaceful calming things.
I am sending you some extra hugs today. Any time you need a warm hug - reach out and I'll be there.
I won't let you go. My hugs last as long as you need them to.
♥♥♥♥♥♥♥

Hi @BlueBay

Here is someone who paints ocean stones to look like mandalas ....

I thought it might be something you would be interested in. Have you thought of having a little studio corner in your house ?
