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 have the big sads😢. I don’t feel connected to this world. Teej world is all I know now. But teej world isn’t living too.

Hi @Teej ....

That place is sucky, but some days are just about “having a day”. I am glad that you have been able to some here and say it ..... and identify the emotion as sad .....

I have sad sitting pretty close on my shoulder today, and I have been steadfastly ignoring it ...... gettin on with uni tasks as a good distraction, but here they talk about life beyond the course, and I can’t see that far. I am living in today without knowing what tomorrow will bring, so I deal in today-world, which is sometimes sad. I might let sad off my shoulder tonight and sit with it a bit, cos I know that feeling is not going to go away until I acknowledge it ...... and maybe have a cry about it.

Hugs n hugs Hon. Just sitting here with you.

💜💐💕

I've got the big sads too @Teej. Feeling defeated and lost. Living isn't easy, stay connected isn't easy. Hugs

Hugs to you too @Sans911 . Defeated and lost sums me up pretty much just now..... and angry and scared and fearful and...and....and.

Lots of ❤ for all the sads here 🙁

And some more hugs for you all

Re: I am struggling at the moment

I wish I could do the sads in a healthy way. Psych today suggested some of my memory loss could be the result of unhealthy coping strategies. By the time I reach this point I have nothing left to give to get through using other strategies. @Faith-and-Hope I wish I could use your coping strategies. Have already used unhealthy ones tonight. Would be helpful just now for some accountability to not push the unhealthy coping strategy too far 😖🤬
