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.

@Teej 🙁 sorry you were so alone last night. I hope that some sleep helped.

Wondering whether the 🤯 was because of the assessment coming up, or whether there was more (not that there needs to be more)?

Hope to 'see' you today, even if it is under the 👍 button.

With you and here for you ❤

@Faith-and-Hope , @CheerBear , @Appleblossom

thanks

i don’t remember writing that last message at all. It feels like someone copied and pasted it there, it feels strange but I’m glad it’s there.

Yes @CheerBear it would be safe to say everything is close now and I am driving myself crazy worrying, even though iknow it’s not helpful to do so.

Psych appointment yesterday was messy.

Edited PS it’s ok you all weren’t here. It was probably something that was good for me. I know it’s not possible to be there 24/7.

Hppy to see you @Teej. Mega hugs. It is super close now and very undersandable to be shaky. I went full banana.

🙁 for the psych appointment. Thinking you didnt need messy to happen yesterday.

How are you spending today (if you can/would like to share)?

@CheerBear I will probably be forced into sleeping on and off this morning. Have therapist late afternoon to work out plan for tomorrow. Going to my mums for tea and to spend the night. Feeling very foggy now. How are you today after :bomb: yesterday?

Re: I am struggling at the moment

All things considered that sounds like a pretty good plan/day ahead today @Teej. Glad you have therapist today. Hopefully that's really helpful.

I'm OK thanks. Yesterday was a big mess but out of it maybe came some good with the NDIS jumble. I also didn't engage with friend and I feel OK for not doing that. I am sitting on the difficult "don't contact (if I could say "me" straight after that word on the forum I would) again" message as I think that level of firm and clear is needed with him which makes me feel a bit sad. I would have liked to stay friends but better this way than feeling suffocated and stuck with someone who wants more.

I have an interview for the volunteering gig I mentioned the other week. Nervous but also kind of excited. It falls around the time of your scary thing going by what you said last week. We can be being brave at the same time.

Going to run some errands so I can spend the rest of the day with my yarn. Hugs again Teej. You're getting there ❤😘

Hey @Teej - sorry it has been such a tough time. Great to see you have a lot of support here and a safe plan for the day ahead.

Just popping you an email shortly.
