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

You don't need to hit any figures hun. You need help and support for your state of mind. If you won't call an ambulance for yourself, please do because I care deeply about you. Do it because one person right now loves you and you are so incredibly important to them. Do it because you love your son as much as he loves you. Please @Teej

Hi @Teej. I hear that it is a difficult night for you. I'll send you an email in a moment.

My day was nice @Teej

Today was a day with no urges. I shared mutual poetry with a new friend. It was nice to forget for a while I have depression and all the other labels

Re: I am struggling at the moment

Will be fine @Sans911. Just talk to me and I’ll stop. About anything. It’s starting to kick in a bit. So won’t be long. Maybe share some poetry

Ok Re: I am struggling at the moment

How do I reconcile these tears Tears of rage, tears of pain

They twist and turn

Like the sharpest of knives

Until all that's left is a bloody mess inside

A mind once strong and sharp Now weary with the mighty fight

Can no longer think

What is good or bad

To live or die in equal measures

Is asking the unquestionable

To live, to truly live is joy and light and love abounding

True, there are pains to bear

And losses to mourn

But a lived live can carry these mortal wounds

And forge again a life worthwhile rejoicing in the rich complexities of life

Finding meaning in adversity

And dancing in the summer rains So come, unburden that wearied mind

Dump your troubles off your laden shoulders

And walk forward with your face To the cold, harsh winter wind Challenge it to knock you off your feet,

All the while you're laughing

At its audacity and nerve

You know you have to walk this struggle,

How? You have yet to learn these ways

But take my hand firm and strong And together we'll a find the answer

With my strength and your bravery

I think this is perfectly you @Teej

Re: I am struggling at the moment

Do you like that poem @Teej? I went straight to as it is so you.

In response to: Ok Re: I am struggling at the moment

Re: I am struggling at the moment

That is amazing poem @Sans911. I lost all hope and concept of living a purposeful life lately. I am scared I’m not meant for this world. I think there is something fundamentally wrong with me and love. I don’t think I get it, even love for my kids I feel messed up on. I don’t know why they care about me. It doesn’t make sense. I am getting a bit drunk know too so may not make sense soon. I’m so sorry but I kept going before. I wouldn’t care but some big things happening in my family this week. There are protective factors to not push it to completion but I can’t be awkse now.

Lifesucks.

I will definitely read it tomorrow again @Sans911. Thank you to you and @outlander for being here.
