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.

Yes @Faith-and-Hope and something connected to CMH. Can’t seem to write much without wanting to sh. Today I realised how neurotic I can be 😢. I don’t know how to stop it just steam rolling.

Hi @Teej,

Seems like things have been really challenging for you and it's always heartening to read how much the community cares for all members. Seeking help is a real strength and I'm glad that you haven't given up on that. I am also reading it's very challenging for you to deal with your thoughts tonight. I've sent an email to check in with you.

Take care of yourself. thecolourblue

I am glad for that much @Teej. It means a lot.

Here to chat about anything else if you like.

We have started looking at imaginative art in class at the moment .... Alice in Wonderland for adults sort of stuff.

Its funny how being accountable does influence us and give us some sort of "handle" on things. I deeply respect that about YOU. Beautiful @Teej

so you dont feel alone in it.

Re: I am struggling at the moment

Hi @Teej I hear that you are struggling there this evening. Please be very careful if you are taking more than your usual dose of medication and especially if you are also drinking. This can be particularly risky and is not recommended. I know that you have some other strategies so I wonder if it might be good to have a look at your safe plan? Keep using the forums if that is useful for you. Take care @Teej

Still here @Teej .... 💕
