I am struggling at the moment

Male DV victims should be able to talk about it

But everyone makes it difficult

Hi @Former-Member

I read your posts but now I can't seem to find them

You say you didn't have a hard life nor an easy one before you had some kind of break 5 years ago - and I have to admit I don't know much about MI but I am learning - and it seems to me that women own their MI and try and deal with them however ever hard

But it is an area I really have to think about - my reasons for being here are more to do with emotional discomfort

But about your therapist's email about your having few reasons to live and a lot about dying - aw - this is hard - I guess - but I do understand what you are saying - I think.

There have been times in my life when I have found life too hard - and while not wanting to die I have not really wanted to live either - if this makes sense - mostly this was when my son was alive and after he died - for a while - when it seemed I had wasted my own life

But I am glad I continued - I guess what I have to live for is strong - and when I have felt too tired to continue it has been just that - too tired -

Today is the anniversary of my father's death - it was a good death - he was an elderly, frail and blind man who had lived an dynamic life and had been very successful - and he was ready to go and left - I feel okay about it and want to go the same way - when my time comes - but I know how it is to feel otherwise

But to find less reason to live than to die - I respect that - I don't know that I understand but one step toward understanding is respect for that which we do not understand

I have nothing to suggest but I am sure you are not the only person to feel like that - but it might well be you are the first person to admit it - you are the first person I have heard say it anyway

There has to be something good there - something strong - and I am so glad you have had the courage to share this and trust us with this information
