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

Your email has bounced back so I'm posting my message here:

It's Froginthepond here. I’m really sorry to hear that things are so difficult for you at the moment. You said in the forum that you have been drinking and are feeling very low.

You have shown a lot of strength in coming to the forums and seeking help. It’s really important that you speak to someone about how you feeling. And no one would say that you are a "shit" person.

You stated that you called Lifeline, well done on that. It looks like you made a support plan with that counsellor that involves going to hospital. Can you action that plan with the help of a friend if you don't feel you can drive. Otherwise call 000 and they will take you.

If you are feeling suicidal, it’s really important to call Lifeline again or a friend that can support you. You don’t deserve to go through this alone.

Are you safe tonight?

Kind regards,

Frog

@Former-Member
I want you to know that I'm holding your fears and your hurts in my arms at the moment. Use the energy you have to fight for life - this is a time to believe in yourself and the power of the love, sharing and caring that you have given to many and also received from many.

You helped me to stay level headed when I was so unwell last week and I relied on your support. Can you rely on us here to help you pull through this rough patch.

Love you sweetie xxxx 💕

Re: I am struggling at the moment

There is so much crap in my head and has been for days. I feel like having the lord of the rings ring that's calling me to do stuff. I am so sorry that I'm making you all worry. I have slowed my drinking but I want you @Faith-and-Hope to not worry about me and enjoy your holiday. And everyone else too to not worry. Your messages have helped me get through to now. I honestly can't face hospital now unless I'm unconscious.
