Something’s not right

Darkness

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

Not feeling sorry for yourself @Lee82 They are all very vaid feelings and go hand in hand with depression unfortunately. I too have been right where you are now so do not for one instant think you are simply feeling sorry for yourself - it does super suck and it does feel like there is no way through. I can only say from experience that I was in the same boat for a long time and it was people here that held me up, held out hope and supported me all the way through - so lean on us Hon - because we not only get it but many of us have been there ourselves. I hold out the light for you to find when you can Lee

Re: Darkness

@Zoe7 You are truly amazing. Thank you so much for all your kind words. I feel very guilty that I haven't been around the forum lately. That I haven't been able to give support to anyone right now. I feel so bad and horrible for not being around. My head just can't cope with anything at the moment. I really can't even think for myself right now. I don't know how to search for the light Zoe. I don't have any idea anymore what to do or how to feel better. I feel so out of control. out of touch with everyone and everything. What am I doing so wrong? I just want someone to tell me what to do. I feel so desperate at the moment. It's pathetic

Re: Darkness

There is no need to feel guilty for not being around nor supporting others @Lee82 Right now it is you who needs that support. Many of us have been in your shoes and personally one thing that the forum has taught me is that reaching out for that when needed AND accepting that support without conditions or feelings that you are not yourself giving anything is so important. There will always be times you can give to others Hon but right now it is us giving to you both because we care and because you need it.

You are not doing anything wrong Lee - your are hurting and that is not your fault. MI kicks our butts sometimes and leaves us in that dark hole. I do hear you cannot see any light and that is why, lie others before me have done for me, I will hold onto that light and hope for you. There is a way out of this Hon but it is often a long and difficult road ...but each day is a day closer to finding that way so continue to get through each day, each hour,each minute.

I am noticing that you are posting a number of times about your distress tonight. I am so sorry that you are now feeling desperate. Are you able to keep yourself safe Lee? If you are in a crisis please phone 000.

And please reach out to a help line as you will cannot get crisis support here on the forums.

We all really hope you are able to get some peave and rest soon.

Re: Darkness

Everyday, every hour, every minute just gets harder and harder. I feel helpless @Zoe7 I feel like I am beyond help. Broken beyond repair. I feel very guilty for wasting so many people's time and effort. I just disappoint everyone.

In response to: Re: Darkness

Re: Darkness

I see another side here to you @Lee82 - one that has compassion for others, cares about how they are and what they do and is honest with your emotions and struggles. You are not disappointing anyone here and certainly not wasting anyone's time - you are reaching out for support in what is an extremely difficult time for you. I would certainly encourage you to contact one of the helplines that @Former-Member posted if you feel talking through some of this with someone would help.

I need to head to bed myself now Hon - I do not want to leave you alone but I also need sleep myself. Hopefully @Eve7 is still around and can keep you company for a while. Please reach out further if you need to Hon because you matter a great deal and deserve support. Goodnight sweetheart
