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.

Hello dear @Former-Member

How are you feeling this evening? Just popping in offering support and warm hugs. Teenage children can push those boundaries and test the sanity of the strongest! Never think your problems fade in comparison to mine - we can all be pushed to our limits at different times of our lives and those limits are different for each of us. We all have our crosses to bear. I hope yours is a little easier to bear presently.

I had a good day yesterday but today have struggled a bit witnessing daughter's mood swings and manipulation by her so called boyfriend. Can't understand why she keeps allowing it?? She managed to get another job but she does have trouble keeping them. Witnessing this does get depressing for me - I feel like I have failed her. Nothing I do gets through.

I did manage to enjoy this evening though - it was my 22nd wedding anniversary! And he is the best thing I ever did! My one saving grace. Whether it be a partner, sibling, friend or off spring, we do need that love that keeps us going. To me that is the point. So I am feeling grateful this morning for this.

How are you going now? Hugs ❤️

Hi all,
I wasn't doing so well and finally went to hospital today. I spent 9:5 hours in ED but was treated really well which I'm very grateful and have now been admitted. I am going to try to not check in or post for a few days. I thank anyone in advance and those in recent days for kind support. Please see my likes as a response at the moment. I had spiralled out of control.
Sending hugs to everyone.
