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

If you have fallen asleep now @Teej, then these messages will be waiting for you in the morning.

What matters is that you have achieved a period of sobriety from this pattern .... and that means you can do it again, and again ..... and you will build success through that repeated effort. It won’t be 100% straight off ( that would be the all-or-nothing thoughts creeping back in there) ..... it’s more like skill-building in a sports training sense, and you have made a good start.

Some other skills that you have learned will be in your kit too, but not active at the moment. As you keep working towards your goals, they will start to make sense and slot into place too.

Just keep getting back up on the horse @Teej, no matter how many times you fall off. You’ll make a great Jillaroo, but it takes all the falling off to learn to ride well.

💜💐🌷💕

Morning @Faith-and-Hope, @Sans911. I’m so sorry. I don’t remember writing that last message to you last night. I had tried so hard during the day to not be affected by something but it beat me.

Feeling a little groggy but not out of control anymore.

Dont know what else to say.

Are you still awake? Here if you are and you'd like some company.
