Something’s not right

I am struggling at the moment

I am struggling at the moment

I don't know why I am really writing this. There seems to be part of me which says that I need to pull my head in and do this alone and another part who so desperately wants to reach out for help. I am really struggling. I'm not coping at all. For much of the day I've thought about all the reasons to die and there are hundreds. There is also one reason to live that keeps me here. I can't let down my oldest son and cut out his trip of a lifetime. He would have to come home and pick up all the pieces for everyone. I keep telling myself I have to hold on until he comes back and then I can let go but this keeps me waiting to die not choosing to live. I have a cold sore that now goes from the corner of my eye the length of my nose and it's slowly creeping across my face from stress. It started on Wednesday and each morning I wake to find more of my face engulfed by it. I am so tired. I am so sorry to write this and I know I'm so lucky to have friends on here that care. I don't want anyone to have to deal with this as it is so depressing so I started this thread as a way of saying that I'm not well when writing here and please don't feel obliged to read or respond.

I don't really cry very often. lately i've gotten close, and tears leak out but i always stifle it without really meaning to. its just ingrained in me that I don't cry! Lots of people have told me to cry though...

Yeah I did that last night for the first time @Former-Member. I was petrified to sleep for some reason. I know your situation is different. I don't have any of that kind of trauma stuff to worry about.

Unfortunately @Faith-and-Hope when I get like this I become physically kind of paralysed too. I can't move, just in foetal position in bed.

Thank you all. You have helped, it does help to know I'm not alone with this. I was really scared to post tonight but it's worked out ok. Thanks heaps @Former-Member, @Faith-and-Hope, @TAB, @Zoe7, @Former-Member

im going to take something to sleep and take me out for a bit. Hopefully I'll start back on my antidepressants tomorrow 💜🤗

..it was .. @Former-Member ..I'm ok, it is just day to day shit, well I have turned it into that re current situation. Have had that many inappropriate things be reproduced by my ears in the last 24 hours lol, some of them gob smacking for different reasons .. I'm away, not hassled, and processing as need to or not. Am way stronger than I realise I think, it was a flood of putdowns on all different levels .. am okay no though apparently my family isnt that concerned with old people dying .. that was a left field one .. from very lapsed except when suits him catholic brother in law ..I just smiled and owned it. And will keep owning it ..
