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.

Have taken the ugly,no big girl pants, destructive way but will live to see another day (that I don’t want to but will because I have a big overseas still) 😢 @CheerBear

thank you for caring. Please don’t worry about me. I should be banned from the forum in this state 😖🤯🤬

Re: I am struggling at the moment

I'm happy to see you @Teej.

Whatever helps you see another day is what you need to do. Maybe brave is not what you're feeling right now but I think you're being brave in getting through even though you don't want to.

I like that you're not banned from here but am really sorry you're in the state you're in. I hate that this stuff causes these kinds of states. It's not right or fair 😔

I’m sorry I’m so so messed up over it all. @CheerBear . I hope you sleep ok. Good to hear your appointment went pretty well today and just hope it is all followed through. Well done you 😘

Re: I am struggling at the moment

You don't have anything to be sorry for @Teej. It's messy stuff - so so messy. I wasn't at all OK through this one when I went through it and I've heard lots of people say they've experienced lots of messy too. It's very undersandable.

Please don't be too hard on yourself. You don't need to - life is doing enough hard for as it is.

Breathing with you @Teej ..... 😔💕😔💕😔💕

While I am feeling so much for you @Teej , I am always, always glad to see you ....

There will be days like these .... and at the moment it’s just this day. I injured myself recently, and the first day wasn’t so bad .... and I dodged a concussion ..... but the second day hurt like hell and got worse across the hours to the point where I was ready to go to hospital .... but that was pointless because all the x-ray techs, MRI techs etc would all have gone home ..... so I slept on it, intending to go to the hospital in the morning. By morning the pain was marginally better, and by afternoon, marginally again. Hour by hour I pulled through.

There is something reflected in this with emotional wounding and the intense pain that follows through. Not trying to reframe ..... the pain is there and it’s real ..... but it doesn’t retain its intensity. It wavers. It ebbs and flows, but it doesn’t stay static.

Just breathe through every minute, every hour ..... that is your only job right now. Faith is belief in things unseen, and I have faith for you just now.

Breathe my sweet @Teej ..... breathe .....

💜💜💜🌷💕
