Hi lately I feel like my emotions are out of control, I feel conflicted as I go through bouts of feeling depressed and wanting to disappear while I am able to feel happy sometimes I mostly feel down and almost robotic during the day. I mostly put on a smile just to get by as I get irritated by people asking what is wrong and I also do it for my son but I feel myself sinking its getting harder to hide I've tried self care and grounding but it just doesn't seem to work. Sometimes I feel like I can't breath and my chest hurts. I just want all of it to end I want to be happy and and be there for my son

Attagirl @Teej ..... 💜
Do you mean to call someone, or stay close to us here ..... or both ?
It’s a strength to recognise and acknowledge this. It’s self-care, and it’s good.

No. @Faith-and-Hope I’m too exhausted to do them. Too much in my brain. Too much self hate. Too much everything

Are you drinking water @Teej, because dehydration will mess with your feelings and thought processing. If not, grab a water bottle and keep taking sips ..... if you’re not thirsty it’s too hard to try to drink a whole glassful at once.
And nibble something to keep blood sugar regulated.

Struggled to move from my bed today again. Just got flooded with stuff in my head. Need to hold off a little longer. There’s a 21st in a few days to be here for kind of. @Faith-and-Hope

I’m finally getting sleepy @Faith-and-Hope. Thank you. I’m going to try to sleep it off. I’m so messy, I nearly didn’t make it. Russian roulette has been calling big time tonight. I hope you are ok. Will talk later when I’m human again. Hugs 💜🤗
