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.

I think I might be ok @Sans911, @Mazarita. I am feeling sleepy now. Have taken more than supposed to but safe enough. Just wanted to keep going taking more. Internal fight between being good and pushing it. Thank you for responding.

Good to hear you resisted, and are getting sleepy now, @Teej. I will head off now too, knowing that you are safe. Hope you rest well now and feel much better in the moring after a helpful 'rebooting' in sleep.

Re: I am struggling at the moment

Feeling low and pretty crappy and sooooo tired. I pushed it further than I have for a long time on Wednesday night. I didn’t stop when I said I did. I am struggling to come back up out of it this time. I know the effects of what I took are still in my system. The crazy part is I want to do it again. I don’t understand what is happening to me but feeling overwhelmingly sad and don’t want to be awake. I don’t need a reminder of crisis services. I just needed to vent.

Hey @Teej I am sorry to hear about this heaviness. Is there a memory/feeling under the sadness? We're all here to listen.
