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.

@Former-Member

wherever you are ... whatever happened

we will think of you and wait til you get back to us.

That was a delightfully innocent way that @Faith-and-Hope described SH and SI

well intentioned but a bit confused

ie its about intensity and chemical cascades of adrenaline plus plus

just the body's old fight and flight thingy .. meant to save us from predators

confusion .. who what where is the enemy

oh feeling hanging around for a while ... so its my fault .. I am the enemy ... dipose of

Its just the beauty of and the inadequacy of our human biology

I could not really sleep ... too wired ... but its no-one on this site's fault.

My biology my history

I hope anything broken can be fixed. @Former-Member

Hi @Appleblossom, and @Faith-and-Hope, @Former-Member, @utopia, @TAB and everyone else. Thanks for asking. I haven't left bed all day and pretty much slept on and off. Distracting doing a jigsaw puzzle. Am going to play it day by day now. Have avoided hospital so far and anything else. Just totally exhausted. I probably need to stay away from posting at the moment, it's really not fair to anyone else to take you on my roller coaster. I need to break this somehow and try to find even ground. My head really isn't right. I wish you all well and I will be back soon, you know I can't stay away. I've read a few posts today and you guys are still my inspiration. Take care😊💜
