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.

There's no "supposed to" @Former-Member. Everyone just does the best they can with the circumstances presented to them, and the tools at their disposal.

Well done on focusing on your strategies earlier this week. And you know.. sometimes we do just push on using sheer will power at times.

These times are like waves- we just have to ride them as best we can.

I'm on til late tonight @Former-Member so if you want to chat just let me know ok? I think you're doing amazing 🙂

It's ok @Faith-and-Hope. She doesn't have to. I haven't been around for many lately including @Former-Member😔. I had toyed with spilling this all day. I have been feeling like a drama queen and living up to every BPD trait (stereotype) possible. I know the only one who can help me is me but I have been having so many battles in my head and I'm a bit scared and still very insecure 😟.

That's where it can be helpful to keep checking back in @Former-Member .... it gives us the chance to "be" with you and know how you're going in the cycle. It's not about whether you have been there for us ..... we all have our quiet or shut-down times .... it's allowed ..... 😏 ..... and everybody cares about each other here regardless ....

💜🌷💕💜🌷💕💜

So true @Former-Member. @Faith-and-Hope has it spot on. I'm not much help when I'm at work but I check in when I can.
Take care lass 💕💗💕🎶

Re: I am struggling at the moment

@Former-Member. What sh*te you have had to go through. Sorry it's been such an awful time for you. If you need to - vent here - get some rage out on this site or write it down on paper. We all need to vent sometimes. No judgement here.
If you are feeling really unwell - maybe a shorter stay in hospital would be good. It might allow you to 'regroup' & get some strength and control back.
Big hugs for you. ♥♥♥
