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.

Life is hard @Teej but ive noticed you've said some of your improvements and that is a great start. Some habits are hard to break when all we are asking for is some sort of relief. I hope with your therapist ( i think you said you were trying a new one or perhaps it was a different form of therapy 🤔) either way i hope that you'll be able to see some more improvements and work on getting through those emotions and challanges you face abit easier

I hope you are sleeping already and going ok tonight @Teej .

I have no idea how to answer how i am! my brain is on 'huh?' mode (would be the same response if you asked me if the sky is blue?). i am everything all at once. i am ok and falling apart and surviving and really not surviving and busy and doing ok in other ways and not in so many others. i think im pretty much a drama queen who needs to get bigger nickers and pull them up higher and just do better... the world at large seems to think that im fine and its just me inside this head that cant cope and is defective. so... confusing much? i wish i had an interpreter for my self or i could just download my thoughts/mind onto a usb for analysis because trying to get out of my own head what's in there is just impossible for me to do.

sorry!

Hey @Former-Member

it sounds pretty complicated for you just now. Well have to develop some AI programs to extract things from your brain me thinks. They’ve actually started on something similar. I bet life is full on just now. How are the kids going? I can’t believe t2 is neatly over. I think I one up you for needing big girl pants just now. Falling to pieces over anything. My time ended with my biggest support (I think you might have an idea who that was. That’s been really hard for me just now but I have to suffer in my jocks because I bought that on myself too. Wearing a huge L on my forehead again. I hope you can ease back in the forum again if you want. You’ve been missed. I’m pretty drunk just now and taken some meds so better go before I say anything that’s right out. Please don’t be a stranger. Gotta go. Brain is fried, can hardly see. Hoping for hours of black again. Really want to keep going and take more but good teej has the final say I think. The idea of never waking up again is pretty bloody attractive just lately.

Hope to speak soon when alcohols and drugs aren’t running the show. 💜🤗

Hope you're ok @Teej - hoping that you get a good sleep and wake up feeling a little better. Things will settle, change is hard a lot of the time but then things shift around it all and it becomes easier or maybe just the new normal i guess... doesnt mean its not crud though or really hard.

will be waiting to hear from you when you are awake... hugs
