Worry Room - Get it out, and walk away: No responses please

Worry Room - Get it out, and walk away: No responses please

Got something that's bugging you?

Want to vent, but don't want a response?

Sometimes our minds can get stuck in circles trying to sort out an issue. This can keep you up at night, or make it hard to focus on other things. I find that putting things away, and not thinking about it temporarily can be helpful.

This is the place to get it out, and then give yourself permission to let it go.

Maybe you will need to get back to it some other time, but this is space where you can put it in a place so that you can leave it for some time and (try) not to worry about it in the mean time.

It's a thread where people don't need to reply, it purely just to get it out your worry and concerns.

If you want to show your support for someone, hit the 'like' button. In this thread, 'like' doesn't mean that you 'like' someone's issue, but you support them in letting it out.

So write down your concerns, put it in a vault, shut the door, and allow yourself to walk away from it.

Pls note: If you are reading other people's posts, please respect that they don't want a response. Show your support by 'Liking' their post.

Might as well be a ghost. Already can't interact with anyone. Lonely as hell. I get why ghosts haunt stuff now.

Again I have woken with a heavy sense of dread wondering the day ahead might bring. I'm the kind of tired that the word tired doesn't fit with. Most things feel like a huge effort at the moment. Simple things are harder than I'm used to them being and big things seem enormous. I'm finding it difficult to juggle and prioritise it all.

I'm starting to struggle to do the things I need to do for myself. I find myself lost in things people need or want from me and things I'd like to do and be for them. I'm frustrated at myself that 'I can't do that today' isn't easier said. I'm frustrated at others for not listening to 'I need' when I do say it.

I feel very stretched and like I am falling so far short of being the parent/daughter/sister/friend that I would like to be. My 'fix it, make it better, do something about it' head is frozen knowing there is very little I can actually do about a lot of things. There's worry, pain and suffering wherever I look and at times it feels inescapable. I feel stuck, lost and alone.

Well I haven't slept for two days so I'm going to get this off my chest take my meds and sleep. My son is schizophrenic and I am bipolar. I feel responsible for his schizophrenia. I wasn't the best mum, had good intentions but was a heavy drinker. I've recently given up. When he started school they told me he was intellectually disabled and wanted me to send him to a special school. I saw it and thought no way. I taught him to read and he can. He's borderline but brilliantly witty so I think he's a genius. The specialist said he is autisitic too but I take that with a grain of salt he's a real people person.He suffered through school though kids were mean to him and he didn't really have any close friends but he had his twin brother who is very gifted. I was not in a position to make a good judgement. At the time I was having complex partial seizures which gave me terrifying visual hallucintaions and I had a grand mal in hospital after I had my youngest son. I didn't know I had epilepsy as it didn't show up in the scan at the hospital and they sent me home. I didn't know I was bipolar either. I had severe post natal psychosis. I would have to leave the house because I was hearing scary voices. I just hoped it would go away. I was a bit funny after the other kids as well but this was different I felt in a very dark place.I told my husband about the complex partial seizures that I was continuously having, He told me to go to a psychiatrist and I laughed at him and ended up manic and in a hospital in the city where my sister took me. I lost a whole week or even two of memory. The story is more complex because my son's twin brother would stick up for his brother and he got bullied too. He's still got some problems but he's made friends and at uni. I have made some really bad life decisions. I say the wrong thing, hurt people have neglected my kids at times. The drinking I now realise has contributed to this but it was there anyway. I'm lazy too which is really bad. I just want to change. The drinking is a start. I hope its not too late and I can make my boy the happy child he should be. I worry about my youngest too. He seems fine he has friends and is hilarious and seems happy. God forbid there's something up with him too. I couldn't stand it. Also I hate going outside because my neighbours think I am a monster. So I sneak out the back gate when I have to go out. I'm looking for work too. I need the money. I had to quit my job when my sone got sick. I just have to help my son first.
