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.

yup am ok, sorry am distracted and not very focussed (hence slooow replies!).
I have to share a positive though with y'all. My lil boy who's struggled with many things and has many difficulties moved up to an age appropriate reading level today! he was pretty chuffed with himself. 🙂
I hope you do get some sleep @Teej

@Teej-you aren't being selfish at all. please don't think like that. I call it I got to go take care of my needs. I rarely spend more than 5minutes talking to you, however, you are often in my thoughts. If I have given 5 minutes repreive from your head, I am glad. And I think you know I am more than ok talking the deeper stuff over with you too. You don't have to hold it in. You can be vulnerable and safe too.

Terrific news re your boy @Former-Member

Barefoot is often the way to go ... @Teej

Despite it all ... when we are up, or down. or in between ...

You matter.

People do not often realise how important they are because they cant see the situation that might have been there if they were not.

Get well soon @Faith-and-Hope

Lovely seeing you around @Sans911

@Teej I came by to say hi and was going to drop you off a purple flower present. I googled 'purple pot plant' and realised I can't post what I found (but I will share that it gave me a good giggle). Hearing you've had a really hard time lately and sending you these 💗💗 instead.
