Re: Sleeping too much
Hey guys, just realised my son (only child) hasn't answered my last 3 tx msgs & email (20days), not even with a smilie face. I don't believe I've done anything to anoy him, and still worry about him being OK. (He's 26, works F/T, with defacto partner 5yrs, lives 3hrs away). Hard to know why he doesn't answer, I've seen how prompt he is with other people on his phone. Don't know how to let him go, carry on without him, & how much to keep trying. Why doesn'y he value me or thr love o have for him? He says he doesn't feel like he has a family since his sister died (5.5yrs ago). Tells me he doesn't need a mum anymore, hurts. I don't know how to have a relationship otherwise when we don't talk much.
I live alone, no family near. I know he had to distance because of my MI regression the year she died, but there doesn't deem to be a connection tbere now. He's even denied things of God & mocks it in me.
How do other grown up handle this? (just feeling alone atm.) Couldn't sleep last night, pondering the emptiness of it all. What kind of a monster must I have been? even as a mum? ot still am? that ALL my family can't love? or put first for 5min now and then. And here's the big one - "maybe everyone really is better off without me!!!" - In a way they've already made me go away, shut me out of their life schedule anyway, how is it different? And society, the media, the national budget / Centrelink sure begrudge supporting me ... etc...
Before I realise its the Blackdog talking (highlighting darkness), I'm already ripped out to sea barely treading water with only the medicine cabinet in reach. It frightens me.
Awareness, or knowing its the blackdog talking (depression brain chemicals), and not the real me, doesn't take away the pain, the unlivable pain.
Oh dear, don't want to depress people here more, or add to your burden, just need a faith boost (faith is to believe & hope in the good you cannot see),vif you have the energy. Sorry.
Sobbing right now. Not good, need a cuppa.

Re: Sleeping too much
Walking with you @Former-Member .....
Got the kettle on here at my end to have a cuppa with you .... anyone else doing the same ..... ? 😊💜
Its love over the air-waves comin'at ya @Former-Member ..... and you are far from alone in your circumstances .... over on the Carer's forum there are threads by carers who have had to cut themselves off from toxic blood families, as you have done .... I know you found one of those yesterday and I love what you wrote .... sharing from your lived experience helped someone else there .... and I suspect a lot of others read and draw comfort without ever posting themselves ...... for whatever reasons ..... often loneliness I'm sure ....
Youre a brave-heart who keeps putting yourself out there .... from what you have said before, these ugly thoughts come in waves .... ride them out @Former-Member, as you do ..... we're here for ya Hun ..... oceans of love over here .... tap in and breathe ..... 💜🌷💐💜🌷💐💒
I'll and some quotes your way .... scrap-book them onto a wall somewhere in your home .... on a pin-up board or something ..... get yourself a pack of textas and a block of paper and copy them .... embellish ... cut pictures from magazines and build that faith wall up right there .... stick 'em on your kitchen cabinets .... and stay with this program .... tune out the other one ....
Keep sending love in your son's direction .... hopefully he will mature with a bit more time .... and maybe with kids of his own ..... text him every couple of weeks, something short and sweet, and just wait for the tide to turn ...
