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 were next on my list to thank for support last night. I'm really glad you've had a lovely day socialising. That's great. 💜🤗

@Former-Member It was good to get out and about for a bit. On the way home I bought myself a new fitbit charge 2- hopefully it will motivate me some more.

I am so sorry you had a tough time last night - what triggered you? Just keep doing some breathing exercises if that helps and please look after yourself

You are a real gem @Former-Member

The best advice I was given was to focus on what I am good at.

You have many skills and talents too

I am heading out soon to get a pizza for dinner

I might have hightend senses

Sometimes i feel i can hear traffick in the distance

But it just makes everything seem so much more than it should

And i'm having to be discerning in what i do day to day everyday

I hope it makes sense

Re: I am struggling at the moment

@Former-Member I was triggered in a huge way on Tuesday and this is the continuation of which is likely to be around with me until Tuesday. Yesterday was as a result of another interaction with the mental health team but I was triggered and lost all rationality really. Last night just before I posted I had an interaction with my therapist who was obviously very tired and over this saga and wrote a killer message of truth I couldn't handle at the time and it tipped me over. Today I ended up on suicide call back and I guess got out my system what was triggering me which helped a bit. I guess I've had a wake up call this afternoon from an interaction on the forum which has helped calm my farm for now but I know it will come back because I can't resolve it or find peace with it.

Sounds great to have a fit bit. I'm saving my flybuy points to hopefully get one one day. 💜🤗

Hi @Faith-and-Hope

thank you for checking in on me last night. Not my best night on the forum :face_with_rolling_eyes:😳 I would so love to run some things past you but I realise that it's difficult with you being overseas and this is your time. It would also have to be written cryptically because of the content and the shame that goes with it but this saga isn't over and there is a deadline for it being Tuesday. I'm fine now but still worried.

I really hope fires on the forum are not bringing you down during this time away. It is supposed to be your time out.

Sending you loads of hugs 💜🤗💐🤗💜

Re: I am struggling at the moment

I know you were triggered on Tuesday @Former-Member I feel bad that I can't do more to help you or know what you might need. Just keep looking after you and in the past I've not really liked how your team seems to trigger you so much.

What do you think would help you_ I am trying to understand?

I am here if you need to talk some more
