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

I know I don’t deserve any support but I’m struggling to find hope at the moment. I don’t know what to write except I need reasons to stay alive just now and they can’t be my kids. I need something for me. The more successful my kids are the harder it is to justify me living.

I truly don’t deserve support @outlander. I’ve changed so much I can’t recognise myself. I am so scared and so ashamed that I’ve been dropped from cmh as being a lost cause. I know I am, it’s

the right thing for them to do but it’s sent my si through the roof. I don’t know how to face anything. I had some strange hope a couple of weeks ago and it’s all gone now.

Hi @Teej,

I know that it's not an easy time right now. Hang tight. You are a valuable human with so much to offer. You are also very brave and we have all seen you hit these dark pockets before, and pull through them with courage and grace. What helps you at times like these?

Do you feel up to visiting the feast for a bit, to try and take your mind off things?

Oh @Teej no, your not a lost cause. Not to me and not to many others here too. Offline can really really suck sometimes. It is so hard to loose all that hope so i can understand having such high si and lots of other big emotions and thoughts too.
Its ok to be scared but your really not a lost cause just havent found the right path yet

Re: I am struggling at the moment

I need a reason to follow my safety plan @Former-Member. I am too far gone to be able to feast. I can’t see the point of being here anymore. I just drag everyone down. I’ve been here nearly three years and haven’t come far, have become so selfish and self centred and can’t find anything to like about me just now. I used to be someone different. I feel threadbare and like I can’t stitch everything together to make a human being worth living just now. The kids have gone away as has my best friend and I don’t know why I should stay safe this weekend.

Re: I am struggling at the moment

This sounds like a scary place to be in @Teej. I'm sending you a check in email. In the mean time, perhaps read back over the lovely messages that you have recieved. There is a lot of care for you here.
