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

Thanks @CheerBear. It was nice to wake up to. I love that kind of humour.

I completely lost the plot last night when I went to try to sleep. Found myself struggling with urges and plans. When I woke up this morning I went to check what I had taken but it turns out that part must have been a dream 😳😬. I was good last night even though I didn’t want to be.....and didn’t think I had been. I think I flipped worrying about the text message to my therapist. She responded this morning in a caring way and told me she is always on my side. I don’t deserve her support. I was lost for words.

Feeling lost but trying to regroup. Started with a positive bang after reading your message and sans but feel in a heap and have just woken up from second sleep. Some people have second breakfast. I think mine is second sleep :face_with_rolling_eyes:.

Whingy whiny venty part. I am over trying to regroup and then crash because of stuff out of my control. I know you experience this loads too. I guess it’s something that everyone experiences but maybe not quite to the level we do. I’m so flat again 😬

Portrait of me right now

what I hope to look like by the end of the day

yeah ok im dreaming. 😳🤦‍♀️

Hugs to all reading and and hope your day is ok.

Re: I am struggling at the moment

I had a bit of a chuckle at your pics @Teej. I can very much relate, as I do to what you said about crashing after trying to regroup. Regrouping is tiring. Crashing is tiring. Getting up, falling down, getting up, getting tripped over... some days I feel like this

And this

(I'm hoping these give you a bit of a giggle but also may be trying to build up my albums - look what you've started 😉😆🤣)

In all seriousness though, I'm sorry to hear you had a rough night. It's great to hear your therapist was so supportive. I know you struggle to think you deserve good, but you do. Just like all of us do.

Dreaming is good and those on top of the world feels would be awesome 😊 Hugs for today 💗

They are fabulous @CheerBear 💜😆. I especially love the bottom one.

I must be struggling with motivation as I haven’t gone any further with the albums but I love the idea of starting an album image movement 😂.

Have fun. 💜🤗

Re: I am struggling at the moment

Hearing you @Teej. Stay here if that's what's going to keep you safe. @outlander gave me an idea--throw balled up socks at the wall. Even better if you can- Break something. Really break it. Put all your rage and energy into it. I was allowed to break a plate at the respite centre. Even though I wasn't angry at the time it still felt good

Re: I am struggling at the moment

Have already self medicated @Sans911. 😕. Will be ok though. Thanks. Just needed to be accountable because urges are really strong to go further. I just need to turn it off until tomorrow.

I understand your need to do that, but I hope a time comes when that is not so needed. Hugs my friend @Teej
