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.

Hi @Former-Member, you take it slow, I'm with @Appleblossom, in home care is best. There's more funding in community care these days so I'm so glad theyre using that to help you.. Believe it or not, you will gain new skills not doing it in hospital. Holding you in the light Teej 🌷🌷🌹🌻🌼🌸

This sounds good @Former-Member

You need time with some one-to-one support and time to concentrate on yourself and we are glad to give you time-out from the site to do this work for yourself and to refresh yourself

But we will be thinking of you

hugs @Former-Member

hope that you are getting some rest and that your mh team is following through in looking after you. im not sure if this type of care is what you wanted or not? would you have preferred to have a stay in hospital... i can understand why hospital sometimes might be a better option because u might get more of a break and reset.. along with support at hand at all times. either way keep speaking up if things are/aren't going ok for you with your team. here thinking of you

Re: I am struggling at the moment

I am angry and sad and frustrated and overwhelmed and incredibly p*****d off. I fell into a hole today again less than 4 days coming off my last crisis. I hate that I can get triggered into this so easily, that someone can cause me to lose my feet and sight of the floor

Today I am in good company with @Queenie and @BlueBay in that our psychiatrist has triggered us. One minute supported next left wondering what hit us.

I don't want responses because I'm too upset but just giving you heads up I've lost the plot and having to deal with life in crisis mode AGAIN. I feel so incredibly angry at myself for letting this get to me.

Hey @Former-Member

I know you don't want responses but I have to tell you that I truly understand. I was and still am really p...ed off with my psych today as well.

I wish i could be with you right now, just to give you a hug. So i am sending you a big cyber hug.

Pls take care, I know this is really hard.

I'm not in a good mind tonight after today's session.My stupid psych has triggered me into a very anger emotion.

I am here @Former-Member for you if you need more support tonight or a chat.

Re: I am struggling at the moment

Sorry to hear you've hit crisis zone again. Sending you one of my specially patented gentle cyber hugs.

Like @BlueBay I know you don't want responses (and please don't feel obliged to reply), but I get it and understand too. Psych's can be a real $*%& sometimes!
