Something’s not right

TRIGGER WARNING ⚠️ Deep and dark

TRIGGER WARNING ⚠️ Deep and dark

First thing first, I am not ok. I haven't been for a long time and I honestly don't think I will ever be again. Not going to dance around acting like I think its ok. It isn't.

I have reached deep inside straight into the depths of the darkness to try and keep myself going. I have pushed myself through really tough times, but all for what?!?

I have tried to address and ignore feelings, both leading me to the same path.

I have tried to talk to people and I've tried shutting up, both again, leading me to the same path.

I have exhausted myself.

I'm not doing it anymore.

If I thought I was actually going to get the help I need, trust me I'd ask for it and grab it with both hands, but unfortunately that is not the case. I am done with being told to just deal with this.

Why should I have to be faced with flashbacks and nightmares, constant god damn reminders?!? Why should I have to feel so depressed inside and weak in my body/mind? Why should I have this crippling anxiety squeeze my chest so tight?!?

I have been fighting the urges this week but you know what, I am done fighting. I will let it be. I am doing what I need.

I am not loved. I am not needed. I don't matter and you know what I've now come to terms with that. And I don't have to 'deal' with it anymore.

Re: TRIGGER WARNING ⚠️ Deep and dark

Hi @Loz_3647 ,

I'm sorry it is another difficult night for you tonight. Is it something your husband said to you that has caused this?

Or has something else happened?

It must be so difficult to sit alone with these thoughts, and hence you are sharing it with the community here. I want you to know that we hear you. You are not sitting alone with these dark thoughts.

There are many on the community who have been down that similar path. They, we, I have had to face our own demons. It hasn't been pleasant. It hasn't been easy. Yet for me, it has been worth it.

I recognised it is do damn hard right now. Yet give yourself a chance to live. You deserve it.
