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.

It didn’t come across as aggressive at my end @Teej ..... just honest and distressed.

Sitting with you is helping me too. I am feeling rattled and distressed with no real understanding why ..... I understand the trigger for it .... happened over west, but the moment has passed but not the feelings yet. They are not anger for me, they are sadness and wanting to cry but there are no tears yet.

I am waiting in limbo. Here with you.

Just ate food for the first time today @Faith-and-Hope. And a drink. Anger is finally giving way to sadness.

I’m sorry you are struggling too.

Re: I am struggling at the moment

It started changing when I realised I was taking my anger out on you @Faith-and-Hope and @Former-Member. Both of you were trying to help and I was pushing against it even though I asked for help. Being like this sucks lots at times. Am grateful that you were both here. It has softened the self destruction enough. A little more wise mind coming 😳

Gonna keep making those for now and work out the next part with Mr. Google probably .....

Re: I am struggling at the moment

I don’t get being human @Faith-and-Hope lots of the time. I think I still struggle with love.
