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. Have made two albums @CheerBear. One woohoo you go girl type and one flowers but I have more to do when I have more patience

Do you put your iPad into desktop mode often since the update @Teej?

One more try

Oooh I think this one may have worked 😁 Thanks Teej! Totally a highlight of my day too

No. I don’t need to put it in desktop @CheerBear. I’m not sure that it will be available on the mobile version. I haven’t tried yet.

When the triangle clears the photo was one of mine I took before d day. I haven’t been able to use my camera since.

It was water droplets encasing wattle flower buds with a spiders web threading through the plant. It was at my old house.

Thanks @Faith-and-Hope, @Shaz51. I get really angry with my photography. I never feel it’s good enough. That is one of the rare ones I still like.

Thank you to whoever is moderating too for the fastest clearing of images 👍🏻😃💜

Would love to see you do more of it @Teej ..... maybe more practice will

make you less angry about the images. Maybe it’s like being “hangry” (angry from being hungry) except it’s phangry ..... 😏

Hey .... if Spellcheck Fairy can get away with doing it .....

Lol @Faith-and-Hope with phangry. I giggled.
