Re: Anyone feel like chatting?

Believe me @Former-Member I've had those suicidal thoughts even the SH thoughts and acted on them too.

You have to believe that you can get past it. I know it is hard, it was very hard for me to even think that i could get past those thoughts. But they will pass, mine did. and i know yours will too. do you have any hobbies you enjoy. anything you like doing. for me i like to knit and i have been knitting some baby hats and booties (for my baby grandchild due in 10 weeks time). doing something that makes me happy has kept me 'alive' if that makes sense.

i do know how hard it is though to stop those thoughts, believe me i know. do you have someone at home that you can talk to or someone you cann call and talk to?

I too was brought up to not show emotion, exactly how you explained it. i was alwasy told that i was weak if i showed my emotions eg. crying. and being depressed was a sign of weakness acccording to my family eg. parents and siblings. yeah i get that too. it's quite the opposite.

Pls take care of yourself, hope to chat to you again soon.

Re: Anyone feel like chatting?

@Former-Member - I'm sorry if I am jumping in to a post that you might only want certain people to reply to. My heart hurts reading how hard things are for you at the moment and I wanted to reply.

I couldn't like @BlueBay 's post more. We all have ups and downs. It can be really hard when we are having downs not to feel like an annoyance or a bother to others. I feel like that sometimes too. I hope, and want to believe, that people reply here because they want to and they care, not because they feel they have to.

I have really enjoyed getting to know you through your posts. I find you really interesting and thoughtful. You're having a hard time and it's so understandable that you are feeling like you are.

You need to do what's best for you, and I really do believe that you know what that is. So if taking some time out from the forum is that, then that's what you need to do. Try and do it for you though, not for others. You would be missed here and this community is definitely not better off without @Former-Member

I bursted out crying (even more) reading your post - and not because you said something horrible. I was meant to mention you, as you have honestly been one of the most helpful and thoughtful and caring person towards myself here on the forums.

It is difficult, you know, my heart hurts seeing other people suffering as well.. It is so difficult to be breathing oxygen. I cannot remember the last time I had an up, it's been years. Something at the back of my head always says that people feel forced, because I do not deserve to be cared about.. cherished or loved. That I do not deserve happiness even if I do ever find happiness.. and I often look upon happiness ans purely just see emptiness.. I look at everything in life and see everything as being so empty. so so empty.

Then I do feel selfish as I stick into my bubble and do not know people like you or BlueBay or anyone as much as I would like to... in that way. I hate talking about myself but this is so overwhelming.

I don't know what's best for me. I have nothing. nobody. and I think I am preparing to let go. To no longer be a bother. i am isolating myself again

@BlueBay

It's so hard to even believe yourself. I am glad you have gotten through what you have, that obtains so much strength but maybe I am weak. I can croquet but not very well... I used to be very musical.. I used to sing a lot.. even a few years ago auditioned for a Tv show. Then I lost interest and just lost all confidence and pleasure.

I have nobody to talk to or to call. That does make things really difficult. I just don't know what to do anymore.

It's an awful way to be brought up and so anxiety provoking and contains so much tension and hurt.. causing you to hide away and bottle up.

Thank you BlueBay

Knitting is really cool, and congratulations for your grandchild almost coming into the world. That is beautiful.
