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.

Re: I am struggling at the moment

Thank you for your support @Faith-and-Hope, @Former-Member, @CheerBear, @catgirl, @Shaz51. I managed to survive last night through self medicating. I was very much on the crazy side and needed to just switch off before I did something very destructive. I’m so sorry, I think I need to learn when I’m out of control to just deal with it and not call for help (I’m not sure I’m really confused about all this just now). I don’t know what I was hoping to achieve last night. My appointment went ok. The outcome was what I’d hoped for but I’m still feeling shaken by it all. Not sure what else to say.

I am so glad you did call out for help @Teej ..... it helps me to know how you are, and I miss you so much when you are not here .....

Well done on getting through (GN1 = Goal No.1 = surviving) and getting through the apt with expected / hoped for outcomes.

💜💐 @Teej ..... it’s okay to not have words for now 😏

I’m sorta wordless about my own situation just now, so maybe I am good to stay on this thread ..... lol ......

Keeping Brene Brown close in my mind ...... “lean into the vulnerability ..... “
