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 @Former-Member, @Faith-and-Hope. Sorry about last night. I’m having a hard time with lots of things as you can tell. Feeling very ashamed and solem for my chaos last night and procrastinating going to see my therapist. Will speak when I feel human again and stop crying.

Re: I am struggling at the moment

Glad you see you @Teej - I find typing is something I can do when I'm crying.

I can't talk when I cry, that's why phone lines are mostly useless to me!

Please do not feel ashamed. May I suggest you take that energy and intead of feeling shame, use it to propell yourself in a direction you'd rather go.

Re: I am struggling at the moment

Hugs n hugs @Teej ....thanks for coming back on forum today .... it is sooo good to see you. You are and will remain one of my favourite people here .... although I am blessed in that I can fit a lot into my heart, and the forum itself is precious to me, with all who wander in and out ....

My kitchen floor flooded here while I was away. Damage to floors and cupboards .... have to see how much when it dries out ....

There is something about us and floods .... and this is not an area of the country that experiences floods .... it’s us, and our living spaces ..... remember how many times we battled floods and leaks ?Now, in this house .... again.

Mopping up, then going out .... safety pod (car) day for me .....

Look forward to hearing back from you when you’re ready ..... would like to hug your therapist .... jus’ sayin’ .....

💐💜💕💐💜💕💐💜💕💐

Have introduced my Dad to a sushi train tonight .....

In response to: Re: I am struggling at the moment

Re: I am struggling at the moment

What did he think?

In response to: I am struggling at the moment

Re: I am struggling at the moment

He knew what sushi was , but had never seen seaweed salad before .... intrigued at the concept and food choices.

His country town doesn’t have such things.

Re: I am struggling at the moment

Of course. I think my dad would be upset at the fact you have to almost catch the food as some go so fast.
