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 read your post on the rave @CheerBear sorry you didn’t get out.

i fell apart this afternoon. My psych didn’t call my therapist and I got smashed into pieces over it because it makes everything harder.

Was then put back together enough from the helpline here with someone very patient and kind. Am trying to be kinder to myself and stop crying a bit 🤦‍♀️.

Have you any repercussions from today and friend? If you are avoiding this topic just now that’s cool. I’ll try to speak cat although dog is more my native language 😘

Re: I am struggling at the moment

Oh @Teej 🙁 that one would have smashed me into pieces too. I'm guessing because it is Friday that now means a weekend of waiting? Fridays are the worst days for stuff like that and often if I'm going to be stung it will be on a Friday 😏

I am glad someone patient and kind helped you out. You deserve kindness, though I get how hard it can be to give it to yourself.

Lol with the cat speak 😆

So friend is next to me right now snoring his head off (he'll go home when I wake him). After I decided not to go out tonight he ended up here. Maybe a combination of my annoying guilt (not exactly for putting boundaries in place though that does feel tricky sometimes, but more because I'm kind of a b%$@ and I know that) and his own annoying persistence (there is a better word for it but can't quite figure what that is right now) 😏 Lots of jumble in it all. That jumble is a very unappealing part of whatever this thing we are doing is

Re: I am struggling at the moment

Your post made me smile @CheerBear because it is so incredibly human (and sounds just like how I would have handled it all 😄)

the hard part is that my psych won’t work until Wednesday again and may choose not to call therapist after all 😔.

I found some cat talk for you. I had help. It’s ok if you fall asleep while waiting for it though.

I am going to take meds and hope that tomorrow I feel human enough to see my friend. I have told my family I’m not up to seeing them tomorrow which my mother is going to have trouble with. I have to survive tomorrow cos as you know there is lots of mess around it 😳:face_with_rolling_eyes:😧. If I can cope with being human I’ll go out with my friend to a movie.

Night. I hope tomorrow is ok for you 💜🤗😴🌙✨
