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.

Sorry if that sounded a bit abrupt @Pepsimax. I was just trying to problem solve it for you. I wasn't sure what you wanted it for today.

Ok I might not be the best person to help for this @Pepsimax but I think we could find someone. Maybe a moderator has ideas. Possibly @Former-Member might help @Pepsimax how she could get food as her money won't come in until Monday. @Kurra If you are still awake. Have you ideas about this?

When was the last time you ate @Pepsimax?

And I'm really sorry you are in this position @Pepsimax 💐💜. We'll try to work it out together. Maybe @Faith-and-Hope might have some ideas too.

Do you have support people or family that would help and bring you some food. What about your sister? Or a neighbour?

@Pepsimax .... stay with us and we will try to work out what services are available to try to help you. Can you tell us which state you live in ?

You must be feeling terrible @Pepsimax 😢 No wonder you wanted the money to come in. I hope we can find a way for you to eat tomorrow.

How would you feel about going to a community kitchen @Pepsimax for food tomorrow? It's just one option
