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.

So true @Apple blossom..I really like that. Psychologist's are privileged to psych analyses our inner beings. The more honest we are, so the more they see. If they are passionate & truely believe in helping another soul, they will keep on trying to meet this very aspect! Nice one. 😊

Thinking of you

Your therapist does not own you - you are your own person

Re: I am struggling at the moment

Hi @Former-Member

It's just great to hear from you and know you are okay - you don't have to right much else

People are saying some short but helpful things here - your therapist doesn't own you - I think that sometimes they have an idea to get you to think about - or rather - get us to think about - and toss it into the conversation and we can sit and think about that and accept it or not

I have contradicted my therapist - or added my own ideas - not with this new one I have but with the one who had to move her practice back interstate

But take your time - we know you back slide but you never to back to square 1 - you are moving along slowly and like 2 steps forward and 1 back at times

Lots of hugs and sending lots of summery thoughts for the first day of summer

Hi @Decadian, @Faith-and-Hope, @Former-Member, @Former-Member, @Former-Member, @Appleblossom, @darrenhayes @Former-Member

thank you so much for your support the other night. I really appreciated it. I'm sorry I don't respond when I'm in crisis but I'm usually unable to do much but your messages of support are heard and felt. It also takes me a few days to come back on this thread to respond as I'm usually pretty angry with myself and have trouble facing it. I try so hard not to use this thread anymore but there are still times when I have to. I also have to find ways of using it more effectively and less dramatically than the other night.

Thank you all again, you are my rocks. 💜🤗💐

Hey @darrenhayes Im really sorry that you have been dealt this incredibly tough and painful life. You must have a caring soul to want to reach others in crisis. I really hope you find some peace and moments of joy in your days. It's lovely to see you on the forum caring about others. Please feel free to talk more about your story if you want to. We may be able to offer you support too. Take good care of you 💜🤗
