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

I know @Teej, but that is because you are feeling lost in it at the moment, but you know it doesn’t stay the same ...., and your kids need you in their future.
I want want you in my future .... I know that much. I look for you, you know. We have travelled a lot of nights together, and I really appreciate that .... I miss you when you’re not here.

Thank you for letting me know. It would be good for you to sleep, but I am here until you do.

My world is about to change. The kids would be better off without me when it does. I’ve been setting stuff up so it’s easier for them.

Re: Feeling emotionally out of control
If you discussed your plans and options with your brother, what would he prefer as an outcome, and what would he and others be prepared to do to keep you safe and in their lives ?
Think beyond this time @Teej ..... and keep to the values you want for your sons .....
Just my thoughts.

Re: Feeling emotionally out of control
I’m not the same as everyone else @Faith-and-Hope. I make it harder for everyone around me including you. There is no me unless I’m in crisis and then I’m the biggest drama queen and done deserve any help
