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 have very big insecure feelings atm and very big messy mixed up emotions that are not playing nicely. I’m very lost and very confused 😖

I also know I’ve sucked a lot at supporting others on the forum and don’t feel very deserving of being here. I’m not sure what to do with myself.

Hi @Teej ..... friends don’t need to be “deserving” ..... they are just cared about for who they are .....

Same question. - has something triggered this off for you tonight ?

Re: I am struggling at the moment

Yeah there was something that set it off but I guess it’s been bubbling underneath on and off for a while. I don’t even know how to describe what bought my crazy on. I guess at its core it’s fear of rejection plus fearing that I won’t ever get better than this. Fear of rejection is bringing out my big just waiting to die rather than trying to live thoughts/feelings. Sorry @outlander. It’s all a bit heavy and messed up and I know there is nothing anyone can do but me. If I wasn’t such a hopeless mess I could get passed it. 🌪

Re: I am struggling at the moment

The getting-past-it involves incremental changes @Teej ...... by life doesn’t stand still while we make those incremental changes, so it can be hard to realise they are happening.

Have you eaten today ?

Watered your plants ?

Breathe through the storm Hon ..... let it go and let it pass over you ..... breathe .....

And drink some water if you haven’t today. Brains need hydration.

Hugs n hugs for how you are feeling .... 💜💜💜

@Teej you dont need to apologise, if i wasnt ok about talking then i wouldnt be here ok

Sometimes when things just bubble away but it doesnt have anywhere to go, after a while it could be just the slightest thing to set you right off.
Fear of rejection is a big one for me too, is there something in particular that your worried about being rejected from?

Being afraid you wont get better is very unsettling, i understand that well too. sometimes it scares me to get better too. Our brains can be very messy sometimes!
