Something’s not right

Former-Member

Not ok

I woke up worse than when I went to bed last night. I went to bed with suicidal thoughts, images and feeling a strong pull to just give into them. But what I want now is just horrible and part of me feels completely ashamed and the other part is like it's what we know and it will help. Right now I want to find someone to put me in my place, to make me beg for them to stop right now I don't even have to know them. I am not ok

Re: Not ok

@Former-Member 

 

Thank you for those links. I have corresponded with @Jupiter this morning. I know the forums aren't a crisis line, I really just needed someone to hear me this morning. It's been a rough couple of months and my biggest supporter is gone I just didn't know what to do. I feel so isolated at the moment and struggle to let people in because they will just leave. I am finding the forums a little bit like a live line, where I don't have to sugarcoat how I am feeling like I do everyday to the people around me. Sorry if my post was Inappropriate

Re: Not ok

Hey @Former-Member , you don't need to be sorry, you have nothing to apologise for. Your post wasn't innappropriate, sorry if I was a bit abrupt or something, I didn't mean to be. I was just trying to say you're more than welcome here because  these forums are a supportive, safe, friendly, caring place, but wanted to give you some more suggestions. Sorry.

 

I'm always here if you need me. I'm sorry that your biggest supporter as you say is gone, that's so sad. You're always welcome on the forums. No you don't have to sugarcoat anything, you're allowed to say how you feel and so forth here.

 

I understand the feeling of isolation and struggling to  trust people, tell people things, and so forth. I'm sorry you feel that way too. Sometimes it helps knowing that you're not alone, it's sad but it can help sometimes.

 

Take care, I'm sorry if I did something wrong and made you feel pushed away, that wasn't my intention, I was just worried about you, I feel bad now, I'm sorry.

Re: Not ok

Welcome to the forums @Former-Member . Feeling that you need to put on a good face or sugar coat things all of the time can be exhausting. Hopefully as you become more familiar with folks on here you'll find that this is an accepting environment in which you can communicate more openly. It looks as though both @Former-Member and Jupiter were concerned for you – I don't think they meant to suggest that your post was inappropriate in any way. Again, welcome and we look forward to seeing you around the forums.

OHHH NO, don't feel bad you said nothing wrong and if that's how my reply made you feel then I am sorry. 

Being this open is new to me and even though I have read the guidelines I do worry about what I should post. You are very right it helps to know that I am not really alone. 

my bestest supporter was my husband he he lived through my DID alongside of me even before we where are couple and when I would meltdown he was there, knowing almost always the right thing to say and do to help me. But he left and while he is still my best friend, the dynamic has changed. 

PLEASE PLEASE don't feel bad

Re: Not ok

It's okay @Former-Member , you didn't do anything wrong, that's just me being paranoid that I upset you. As @Eucalypt said, @Jupiter and I were just giving you some more websites to check out aswell as here, these forums are moderated 24/7 I believe.

 

i'm sorry about your husband.

Thank you and hugs right back at you. 
they have changed my anti depressants so dealing with the gross side effects. Trying hard to use the flashback tips I was given here and from the Beauty after Bruises website that was recommended by my Counsellor. But honestly I feel so lost and stuck and entirely not sure if it's all with it. 

thank you for checking in with me💖
