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.

Oops thanks @BlueBay,

i hope you are ok today. I guess it's very much one day at a time still for us both.

@Pepsimax Please don't feel like you need to respond if I was being too pushy. It's ok to just read too. I did for 5 months before I started posting. Whatever you feel comfortable with is good.

Hi @Pepsimax,

i just looked it up. It sounds like you've had a difficult life. Thank you so much for sharing, that was really brave. Does it affect your sight? I'm just wondering and I'm ignorant so please forgive me if I miss the mark. Is it easy for you to read and write posts here.

Re: I am struggling at the moment

No it sounds like it has been very difficult @Pepsimax. I'm so sorry you've had to go through so much. It is great that you are on the forum. I hope you can find some people to connect with here. Please feel free to write here or other places in the forum anytime. I'm sorry I wasn't much help the other night when you reached out, I was not thinking in crisis. Thanks to everyone, especially @Faith-and-Hope, right now I'm calmer to be able to say hi 👋.

Would you feel comfortable if I ask how you are going from time to time on the just checking in thread? It may help to get to know some other forum members too.
