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.

Oh @Former-Member go easier on you.

You are on constantly with the kids around and so many different things to keep juggling.

I also have little deadlines .. that I think I will collapse by .. but thiings have been changing .. in that I feel more secure that life will keep unfolding and I am more "in control" than ever before .. I make little plans and they come off .. its amazing .. ha ha ...

it will happen to you ... the age of your children is very challenging ... there is probably no such things as doing it right .. just keep hanging in there ...

💜🌷 .... It's good to hear from you @Former-Member ..... I'm sorry you're hurting, but very glad you're telling someone .... it ps the first step out of keeping it bottled.

Did you sleep at all ?

A few hours fully clothed because I couldn't work out how to take them off😠

Re: I am struggling at the moment

🌷💜 .... I have been doing the "wear the same clothes for 24 to 48 hours" bit for the last couple of days .... even though I was running around with a lot of shopping yesterday .... I just make sure they smell clean ....

Glad you slept a bit @Former-Member .... you need to be supporting yourself with these things at the moment to help this state shift .... and it will ....

Can you move onto auto-pilot and go make yourself a cup of tea ?

I take it you're in your room ?

Its still early here. I'm still in bed and toying with the idea of going for a walk ...

I'll make a cup of tea too, and be right back .... run a kitchen raid together ... ?

💕
