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.

How are you feeling today @Former-Member. Sore muscles after 45 minute uphill walk?
Sending you good thoughts

Hi @Faith-and-Hope @utopia And anyone else 💜😊.

Having an anxious day but not as bad as the last two. Ended up on lifeline last night feeling out of control, I had exploded and imploded all at once. I have just found out my oven will no longer work and need a new one, the toilet is broken still and a bucket catches the water from the hole in the ceramic when you flush and I forgot to report to Centrelink on Tuesday so didn't get paid ( first time I've forgotten) Anyway although frustrating I can mostly survive that stuff. I think I'm doomed to have things go wrong in this house but it's a roof and hopefully it won't leak. It's the interaction with people and relationships that tip me over the edge. Last two nights in particular. So I'm here and ok but roller coasting as my moods are constantly changing from being ok one min to wanting to do bad stuff two minutes later.

I hope your days are ok. 💐💜

Mine's okay @Former-Member .... feeling for you ....

Glad you're reaching out for help where you feel able to .... and it sounds like the response you received from someone ahead of you on this trail yesterday was advising you that you will reach calmer waters .... this is a rough patch you have to keep paddling through first ....

While we can't clamber into your canoe with you, we can and will paddle alongside you for as much as you would like us to ....

🚣 ....... 💙💛❤️
