Am Not Coping

Am Not Coping

I am really not coping at the moment but this is entirely on ME!

This is a message for a few people on here @utopia @Former-Member @Faith-and-Hope @Former-Member

that I asked could be passed on but it seems that only part of it has been and I understand from the responses that have made it through my emails that I have caused untold distress for some people. I was not going to return because of what I felt I put people through but I especially wanted @utopia and @Former-Member to know that they were not wrong at the time and I was going through a real crisis period. You both held me together for longer than I could myself until the point where my own self-destructive thoughts overwhelmed me.

The entire message that I sent to SANE is below:

I have just viewed the multitude of emails and messages sent from forum members and members of the SANE team – as well as the text and voice message left on my phone.

I have not been able to communicate with anyone since the other night as I have been recovering from what ended up being an unsuccessful attempt to end the pain.

At the time I was in a very distressed state and I did want to stop the pain and all I seemed to achieve is to cause others pain and worry and that is the last thing I wanted to do – I just wanted to end mine and say goodbye to everyone beforehand so my future absence was explained. I should have realised that the message I posted would have concerned some people but I really was not in any state to think about the repercussions for others.

I am so sorry I caused so much distress to others – that is something I will have to hopefully try and live with.

I don’t believe after the concern and anxiety I caused to so many that I will ever be able to return to the forum.

Can someone from the SANE team please explain all this to all those involved and pass on my gratitude for their compassion, concerns and kind words throughout the time I have been part of the ‘forum family’.

Thank you and sorry again for the difficult position I put everyone in.

I do not want any responses from any of you. I just wanted to let you know exactly what has happened and let you know how truly sorry I am for hurting people I have come to think of as friends and family, and who I really care about.

Your support, advice and compassion are what make you all the wonderful people you are.

@utopia and @Former-Member I am so sorry that the trust you placed in me has now been broken because of my actions. I also felt that we had a stronger connection, especially over the last week, and you both helped me in ways I cannot even describe or explain. I was not pulling away from you two - just wanted to pull away from myself. I couldn't cope with my own feelings and no-one or nothing was actually going to be able to stop me at the time. It's now just another failure to add to my list of failures. I really don't know what else to say to you both but to reiterate my heartfelt 'sorry'.

Re: Am Not Coping

Hi everybody 👋💕

Last night was “interesting” .... mr.F&H was in an irritable mood .... not a bad one, just out of sorts and being oppositional. The kids on the other hand had a ball.

S2 had received a response from his head of course saying not to worry about anything, and it would all be sorted when he (S2) gets back there in a few days ..... it’s clear he is a highly capable student, and team there will work with him to try to push through the issue together, and if not, a leave of absence will be arranged with full support to help him recover and then return .....

Ever wanted to kiss a building ? I wanna wrap a big bright ribbon around the whole darn thing ❣️

The kids have organised to pile over to our house tonight for a games night all together 🎉 .... I heard about it last 😊 .... which is great. The dragons are flying ....in squadron .... lol

My appointment went well @Faith-and-Hope . Milo has been to the vet and has turned the corner. He is weighing the most he as ever weighed. Trouble & Milo are having an afternoon nap.

I just checked out where I am staying in Brissie before my cruise in October. I might be heading up north for a week from next Thursday. I have cardiologist appointment tomorrow morning.

I am going to head out for a bit and might join you guys for FF. Hi to everyone else passing through here today...

@Faith-and-Hope Operation Make Soup was a success - soup made and mess cleaned up. I used your bowl method and did a little over a few hours while it gently simmered away. I ended up making a chicken and vegetable minestrone... and there is plenty there to last more than a week lol How did your soup making adventure go today - success?

Re: Am Not Coping

Big pot of veggie soup thickened with cashews @Zoe7. My baby dragons are all coming over tonight and will probably order something in, but I am sticking with the soup 😊

In response to: Re: Am Not Coping

Re: Am Not Coping

Yum @Faith-and-Hope that sounds so lovely - I love cashews and veggies so perfect for me Your baby dragons might have that as an entree before their take away. I am planning on relaxing with Toby with the footy on tonight but it sounds like you won't be on here much - if at all with the games night - so Toby and footy can keep me company

How has your day been?
