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.

@Former-Member .... and btw .... sooo glad things turned around within a few hours ..... please take the time to rest, walk, listen to music, and help disperse the physical energy that will have built up in your system .... sometimes sleeping it off helps too, but I think you slept earlier today ....

Maybe take on that hill .... ?

Thanks @Faith-and-Hope. You've made me cry twice in two days, I think we are setting a record. If truth be known one of the fortunate events was something that made me break down and cry so it's really three times in two days. I received some amazing support from an unlikely source who happened to ring and force the issue with me when she picked up where I was at as I was trying to delay picking up my son.

Im sure if we ever met in real life we would have much to share and develop our friendship over. Thank you so much again💜😊💐

Hi @Former-Member

I just wanted to let you know that I too have been walking beside you and will continue to do so. You gave me so much support the other night when I was really feeling quite desperate. You helped me when no one else was there for me which is why I started the thread between me and Kurra. I di that because I knew Kurra would reply and that I could rely on her.

You being there for me @Former-Member made a world of difference. Thank you.

Love K 💕

Re: I am struggling at the moment

Thanks @Former-Member, @Former-Member, @Kurra for your support. I'm hanging in there just trying to get through until my appointment tomorrow. Truth be known I'm so scared about that appointment in that I really hope I can get to the bottom of some of the things going on for me. I've become over full and overwhelmed with things in my life that just recently have been all firing at once. I defaulted back to old ways to dealing with this although I haven't carried it out yet but got close.

It's a terrible feeling @Kurra, that one of feeling desperate when you don't know how to pull it together or face the challenges that lie ahead. I'm so glad I helped the other night. I've felt that same desperation this weekend. 💜😊💐

@Former-Member I can sense your anxiety at getting your results on Tuesday. Not long now, the wait is the hardest part as it lets our brains wander. I'm hope you get good results and fill the next two days with activities that help soothe you. 💜😊💐

@Former-Member I think you are putting on such a brave face at the moment in the face of some adversity as well. I'm watching you grow daily and find an inner strength you are starting to rely on. I'm gaining some strength through watching you overcome your daily struggles as well. 💜😊💐

Hey @Appleblossom somewhere in all this I forgot to thank you for your support last night. You came on when I was most angry and needed someone to take away my weaponry. Thanks for being there. I didn't know at the time but I just needed to release some pressure, eventually that came through tears. 💜😊

Glad it helped @Former-Member

I do think most peoples' troubles are due to PRESSURE. We need to be able to discharge when it builds up inside.

Some pressure we cant avoid ..

Was today any better?
