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.

Hi @Teej,

It sounds like things are really tough at the moment, and it's good you're getting some extra support from the forums today. When you mention so much wanting it over I wasn't sure if you were talking about thoughts of suicide so I have sent you an email to check in. If you are feeling safe and just wanted to talk on the forums please feel free to continue to do so, but if you are feeling at all unsafe have a look in your inbox to think about how to keep safe.

Take care

Oh @Teej 😔 What happened? Listening if you feel up to talking/venting etc.

Re: I am struggling at the moment

Not so much up for talking yet @CheerBear , @outlander , @Faith-and-Hope

I came so close to the edge 😢, am trying to stay away from the edge a bit for now. It was the psychiatrist report @CheerBear . Had a call to help centre which helped. I don’t think I can talk about it for now @CheerBear because I’m still feeling fragile and know I can’t get so worked up again 😦. Am very teary still as well. 💜🤗

It's OK to not be able to tak right now @Teej . So much feel for you with the report (and had a gut feeling it might have been a big ouch one for you).

Glad you had a helpful call. Gentle, understanding hugs for your fragile and oodles of love to you 💗

Nothing like you coming back and me going straight into the biggest crisis for maybe a year or more @Faith-and-Hope . I am so sorry this is the greeting you got from me 😢

thanks @Shaz51 💜

still feeling so so so sad and not wanting to live this life anymore but not acting on the urges to do something about it just yet. I am so scared about everything. @CheerBear and I recently talked about broken radars. It appears that my very big freak out (I did something I haven’t done for years 😞 a bad behaviour) might be a result of my very broken radar of not knowing who to trust and not understanding something in the context it was given.

My group today was hard too. It felt like my past should be a guide to my future but to me it feels like very different things and that my past has no bearing on my future. I’m talking in a language of my own right now I feel.

I so dont know who I am and it feels like everyone else knows.

Im trying not to give in to my feelings of sadness and overwhelm and feelings of hopelessness but could do with some support 😔😩

Not a lot of words @Teej but a lot of feelings reading your post. That all sounds like such a sad and horrible place to be. So sorry 😔
