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.

Thanks @CheerBear.

Going to head off for the night I think. Just texted my therapist a heads up about what happened Friday and that she may receive a call from cmh. Feeling pretty shitty she has been caught up in it all AGAIN. But my mood is sooo much better. Thank you all. Hoping you all have a good night 💜🤗🌙

@Shaz51 I knew there was someone else to tag in my thread. Sorry. I look for names on the drop down list so that's why I missed it. I was racking my brain, but no other names were coming up. I'm actually alright today, but like the setting of the sun, my mood gets flatter and sadder with the darkness. Thanks for the hugs xx

Thanks too @Faith-and-Hope. The power of human touch can't be underestimated. It's something I've missed a lot of in my life.

Re: I am struggling at the moment

I agree with you @Sans911, and I am sad that you have missed that a lot ....

These might "önly" be virtual hugs, but they mean a lot to me regardless .... its an "I hear you" and an "I care" moment. '

Re: I am struggling at the moment

Hi @Teej. I spent part of this morning going through my forum photos and moving some into that new album. It's been like looking back on a bit of a journey and there were so many memories in it all. Lots of feels (and SO many flowers and yarn photos 😆).

Here's one for you from way back when I first arrived at the forum. From memory it was one I shared with you in mind back then too.

(Except that when I clicked to upload from my new album there was nothing in it so it hasn't worked properly for me yet. Buuuut one step closer 👍)

Hoping today is OK for you.

And adding to the hugs for you @Sans911 💗🤗
