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

I had something take me down big time this afternoon. Spent hours AWOL in my car. Managed not to take friends on forum with me this time but still struggling. Best if I don't post much until I lose the crazies. I'm not usually one to say this but WHY ME, WHY NOW!

Sounds like you need to vent a bit @Former-Member. Is it worth a call to Lifeline just to blow off some frustration steam ?

Big hugs ..... 💜

Aw @Former-Member - no - nonono

How bad this is! You had a bad time and went through it alone - I am so sorry this happened

But your questions are good ones and need to be heard

Why you? and why now?

You got the screaming willies - I was taking things slowly in a major way last night and didn't bother to move from my chair in front of the tv so I wasn't on line - but I still feel sorry that you went through a bad dose of the screaming willies on your own

Re: I am struggling at the moment

Thanks @Faith-and-Hope and @Decadian. I got blindsided today with my mental health team after finally feeling supported on Friday they are holding me to ransom over something and I've lost all trust in them again. I went straight to extreme emotions. I really just want things to be stable and normal. I feel like I'm a piece of dirt. I don't want this anymore, it sucks a lot. Why can't they treat me as like I'm human, that I'm trying to do the right things, that I could be trusted. I feel like a piece of :pile_of_poo:

Can't have him thinking I'm a regular mum ..... I'm a mother of baby dragons ❣

Re: I am struggling at the moment

oh @Former-Member im so sorry that things are feeling so awful, what ever has happened with your treating team sounds just awful. Is there anyone you feel like you can trust to help you through, or help you to negotiate with the treating team?

Here listening,

Thanks for the support @Appleblossom, @Former-Member

@Former-Member I did have contact with my therapist this afternoon which is why I am now home and here whinging and not anything worse. She is independent of the team and wants to follow it up because it was so very wrong what happened today. It was my assessment for the art and mindfulness program which I was accepted into starting Monday and after going through all that the representing member of my mental health team then said I couldn't do it because they think I've breached an agreement from Friday that I was unaware of. I had been waiting months for this assessment. It meant so much to me. She was so mean to me and I felt terrible all this played out in front of the organisation assessing me. I didn't cope well at all.

Re: I am struggling at the moment

oh that sounds terrible! I'm glad that your therapist is backing you up. I'm so sorry that things dont seem to have gone well for the program 😞 Maybe they can reassess (in the near future) or your therapist could phone them on your behalf. I'm glad that you are home. are you feeling safe?

Sheesh @Former-Member

It is no good to feel rotten like that after visiting your team - you feel great on Friday and a few days later - you feel like crap - really bad!!!

Just like @Faith-and-Hope I don't know what to say about your team either - that is not a good thing to have happen - I will be thinking of you

Of course your want to have things stable and nromal - it sucks when they don't -

Okay - this is the truth - you might feel like a piece of crap - but I don't think of you at all that way - you seem to notice when people are feeling down and always ask - it's a really good way to be - and things that are a piece of crap don't feel that way about other people - don't care about other people the way you do

So - no name calling - I think you are a person who can be unstable person who has a lot of very kind and senstive thoughts about others - and I am dxd as emotional fragile and can go overboard in seconds so I know what unstable feels like

But being unstable doesn't make you bad - you are just more sensitive than most and you just got a blast from a team you hoped for more from
