Something’s not right

Darkness

Well it's been a hellish few weeks, I have fallen into the rabbit hole and there seems no escape this time. The darkness has come and it thicker than the fires of hell.

Things just don't seem to going right at all and my MH is just getting worse and worse. Not sleeping (afraid to sleep) not eating and not taking my meds. I know this doesn't help but why bother because when I am on them I either feel zone out or that they do nothing anyways. I didn't make it work today, got to the front and was physically sick and froze again. Crawled back into bed where I stayed untill I had an unexpected call.

My 3 main MH professional and I in a conference call, at the end of the call I was given a choice be sectioned or have my ex move back in temporarily to provide around the clock monitoring, this means for at least two weeks of him being here making sure I eat, take my meds and be present for all appointments and no SH. I am not happy about either option but because of teenager trauma in a MH hospital I am taking the ex.

I will not be as active as normal but I will check in. but like tonight, I may just support posts as I am struggling to even type this. So @Snowie @eth @Lee82 @Eden1919 @Purplerain @Lotusgirl amd anyone I missed I will be getting the care I need and will be safe. To some of the newest forum members please forgive me if it takes a bit for me to get back to you.

Re: Darkness

Re: Darkness

Hey fourm family, it's been a rough few days and I am not coping. The one place I want to be, I can't because I have nothing to give and even typing a hi seems so exhausting and it sucks. Thank you all for your continued support through your tags it means a lot.
@NatureLover @outlander @Zoe7 @Maggie @MDT @frog @Bunniekins @Eve7 @Former-Member @Angels333 @Sans911 @Fluttershy1 amd everyone else passing through.

@Lee82 Mel, I am so sorry you are struggling so much and that you landed in emergency because of sh. It breaks my heart that you are where you are. Wishing I could wrap you up in a nice soft blanket, make you a coffee and just chat the night away. Thank you for being you, thank you for your friendship, thank you for caring about me. 💜Nikki

Re: Darkness

Hey Nikki. It's so nice to hear from you although I am heart broken that you are having such a rough time right now. I would love to be there with you right now so we can help support each other.
I am missing you very very much babe and no I am not coping at all either. I am at my wits end. I have had enough and don't want to even try anymore. Everyone around me just makes things so much worse because they don't understand what it's like. They just want clear cut answers and solutions and just get all frustrated when I can't give them those answers. I am just so over not having the support I need and want. Throwing in the towel just seems like the only solution.
I really hope you are taking care of yourself as best you can gorgeous and always remember I love you unconditionally and am always thinking about you my beautiful BFF.

Re: Darkness

@Lee82 , I know how you feel because I feel the same way. But throwing in the towel isn't the answer for either of us. 😞 since I told the family they have been sort of ok, but they either want to wrap me up in cotton wool or want to ignore it all together. I am so very tried Mel. 💜Nikki

Re: Darkness

Hey @Former-Member and @Lee82

I can hear you are both moving through challenging times at the moment. It's nice seeing you offer each other support. Like @Former-Member says, I believe you both have options other than throwing in the towel. You are both very resilient and strong people. Please reach out where you need to for support today
