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 am struggling at the moment. I am very much riding huge waves of emotion fueled by hormones, physical fatigue and stress. I understand that all my vulnerabilities are high but I don’t know what self care to do or how to deal with this combination of things.

Im really scared about being on the edge. I’ve had some vicious self loathing spirals today with dark thoughts and then somehow pulled myself together but it’s coming back over and over.

I am scared I can’t hold it all together over the next few days.

Thanks @Maggie . I don’t know what I need I’ve been torturing myself for over a week with things. I think it building but I don’t know what to do to stop it.
