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 What are you going to do ?

If you are okay drive, it mite be good idea to head home and do something nice for yourself. I've just came home from the gym, and I had my best session yet. Just remember one step in front of the other.

@Former-Member

You will be frightening your kids by not responding to them ....

Can you just send them a text so they know you are safe ?

You said something happened at home this morning.

My next thought would be a follow-through text to say that you are coming home, but don't want to speak with anyone at the moment. Can you have a return confirmation text from them that this will be respected please ?

Create the bubble you need to keep functioning in, step by step.

It's your bubble, so you can set the rules ....

Is is there some sort of provision for food at home ?

Can someone else manage that bit ?

❤️ F&H

This might seem like a weird thing to say right now but I'm really pleased for you that you've had a good gym session @Former-Member.

I really can't head home yet. I feel so messed up right now. Please don't worry though I've got through this far

Re: I am struggling at the moment

I'm not really sure what is happening at home. My youngest was meant to go t is girlfriends for tea but I'm not capable of doing all that driving. I don't know if he has got someone else to take him yet

@Former-Member

Is there somewhere else you can go to get out of the cold ?

Step into a roadhouse and buy a cup of tea ?

Can you call your girlfriend to meet you there, and just sit with you for a little while ?

I've ignored her calls too @Faith-and-Hope😢

Re: I am struggling at the moment

Maybe postpone that thought for the moment @Former-Member and focus on the practical stuff in the here and now.

If you take some action for yourself, and communicate with your kids that you are safe, it gives you a little longer to get yourself together to go home.

Otherwise they are likely to come looking for you.

You have that choice .... are you okay to drive ?

Re: I am struggling at the moment

I emailed the moderators an hour and a half ago because I didn't want to do this on here now but no one has got back to me😔
