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'.

Is your mum going to be in hospital long @Shaz51? I hope she is home very soon. It is a really tough situation with her - she wants to be home but keeps having falls - not good for her or for you Hon You are such a wonderful daughter - you look out for her so well @Shaz51

Re: Am Not Coping

Morning everyone .... 👋☕️💕

I was up late .... took a while to settle to sleep .... then woke early when mr got up. He dropped something heavy on his foot the day before yesterday, and took the whole day off his exercise regimen yesterday .... 😳😯 .... so that told me it was quite seriously injured, but he won’t go to get it checked out. This morning he was up and out on it, don’t know if it was jogging or walking, and he has taken off to The Coffee Place now .....soI guess we will see how his foot is at the other end of the day. He had ice on a back injury two days before that.....

I am psyching myself up for the pool @Zoe7 ... and I need to get on with uni work today. I hope it goes well with the HR arrangements, and J am so glad to see you organising your day, and your butterfly art project. I

loim forward to seeing it once it’s done .... (love the painting ❣️) 🦋💕

Thanks @Bunniekins .... hope you have a good day too .. 💚

@Shaz51, stay cool .... I enjoy hand watering ... I hope you do too ... and best wishes for your Mum 😘🌸

@MDT @oceangirl .... hi 👋 ..... I hope you have a good day too.

@Bunniekins I am trying to think positively about the work situation - not easy when nothing is yet to be finalised but there is nothing more I can do until I hear more. Thanks for your support little pea - means a lot Hon

@Faith-and-Hope Getting to the pool is high on my agenda for today - really need that time in the water to relax today. I hope you feel the same when you get there too

Mr. is starting to show more signs that his body is not coping with all that he does - that must be so tough to watch knowing that it is not likely to get any better but continue to get worse and yet a diagnosis is nowhere in sight. All you can do is what you are doing now and that is a really difficult position to be in Hon

I am glad you like the painting - tbh I am not happy with it but my sister likes it and that is what matters - maybe it is just that I have been doing it for so long that I am a bit over it - it is nearly done though and that is a good thing. I'll move it to the spare room today to dry and then finish the last little bit in there when it is dry enough ...that will take a couple of weeks though.

I am determined to get this butterfly drawn today ...that and the pool are my 2 priorities - will post an image of it when I finish the drawing and then another one when I finish the collage

Re: Am Not Coping

I will look forward to it @Zoe7 ..... the artwork, and mr’s diagnosis whenever we get there ..... lol ..... might be on a walking stick and in ages care by then ..... 😏
