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

@Catcakes I owe you an apology too. I’m sorry for my comment the other night when I was in distress. I think I got caught off guard when I was right on the edge and I saw you reaching out to @Faith-and-Hope. With all my heightened emotions I let fly with sarcasm. I’m really sorry. I’m sure you didn’t mean anything at the time and I’m pretty sure I’ve done that too on others threads without seeing it can add to distress. You didn’t deserve my reaction. Wishing you all the best 💜🤗

It was a bit passive aggressive @Faith-and-Hope. Not my proudest forum moment.

I hope your week gets calmer. I’ve read a bit. I hope to have a chat later. My group starts in 5 mins and I’m not showered yet. I’d rather stay here and chat but alas I’d better go.

Thanks @Teej for the apology but no offence taken at all. I have been there Teej , and let fly many times so maybe i let it through to the keeper or maybe I just had worries of my own.
Rest easy 🌿🌸❤️

Re: I am struggling at the moment

So amazingly glad for you @Teej. I can imagine the everythings that went with that for the both of you. So many feels and understandings here.

Having a bit of a 'situation' of my own, but hanging in there so don't have much to say other than 'Go you', and to express how very glad I am for you.

Thanks @Former-Member. I hope you are holding on tight through your 'situation'. I wish you all the best. I saw your hanky in the craft thread. I hope it is helping with grounding and keeping you safe. Thinking of you too. 💜🤗

Yes @Teej, Dog is still with me but at 18.5 yrs and tumours all over the place I think we're on the home run.

Whilst the medication keeps her comfortable and she still insists on her walk, all is well. She follows me everywhere now. She obviously needs that sense of security. See I've become her security blanket!

Take care lass. Luv n Hugzzz 🎶💜🎶

Re: I am struggling at the moment

thank you so much for your kind thoughts @Teej am really ill at the moment - stomach infection that went critical, but am able to walk again today, so that is a plus. New meds for it, should be coming good soon.

I hope you are having a lovely evening and looking after yourself one little thing at a time.
