* I’m hanging in there* this have been my reply for weeks now when someone or my therapist wants to know how I’m doing, I don’t want to talk since I feel like a bother, people have their own struggles they don’t need to hear yours I keep telling myself over and over again, just keep quiet say you’re fine keep them talking about themselves so they don’t ask about you, work on your smile your pain is showing you can’t let them see, what if they say here we go again Dani’s falling apart again. I am loved, I have great friends, people care...their love can’t reach me, this is the state of mind where the good things gets locked out, they can’t get in, I’m out of reach, I can’t handle this alone but I don’t want the help. It’s complicated and hopefully I’m understood

D, you should talk to Starrlight. Read her latest post. She feels exactly the same way. But, I would be more than happy to be there for both of you. I know plenty about those feelings you are talking about. You are loved. You are cared for. There are many of us on H/U that worry about you and will rush to you aid. Even if kind, helpful words are all we can do for another, it's much better than being all alone. Right? You can always PM me if you have something deep you want to talk about. I'm here. Don't fall into the quicksand of life's worst moments. When you fall into quicksand struggling more by yourself only makes you sink faster. Let your friends reach out their hand and pull you to safety. Okay?

I understand what you mean, Danielle. I've been feeling similarly. The last couple weeks have been terrible, and I feel like some people in my life do think "Here we go again" each time I start to fall apart too. You are not bothering anyone and you are not alone in these feelings. I know it's hard to see the light when it feels like this, but you're not alone. I'm always here if you want to talk. 💛

Hi I have found that many people understand mental health issues because they themselves have suffered or someone they love has. Try not to see it as bothering other people but how about sharing? I have a good couple of mates I can talk to a bit and we share our feelings. I don't do all the talking or all the listening and it hasn't got to be one or the other, but a happy medium. x

in reply tohypercat54

I do have some amazing friends here, something that happened with my abusive father kinda mess me up a little, I haven’t talked about it yet not even in therapy my therapist think I’m blocking everything out cause I can’t handle it yet and I guess I’m not ready to talk about it either not now anyway, I hope for now my friends don’t mind keeping the conversation about themselves until I’m ready

No that's fine. You will be able to talk about it when the time is right. And it will be right one day coz you are going in the correct direction. The first step is in realising something is a problem, and the 2nd and more steps will follow. x

🌻Beautiful Sunflower 💗💗💗 Danielle, we've all felt that way hun... I'm sure some of us older members have been or are in that same spot. Danielle you can ALWAYS reach out, especially to me (& I'm sure others here)... what we've been through, especially the childhood pain takes time. That little girl we carry with us went through a lot of pain... in some ways that's all she knows. Yes things are better & to others our lives might seem good... but "it's" there. Sunflower you are working on it, you are healing... I hope you know you can count on me, loves you little sis, only 1 I'll share my 🍫 with (well maybe Agora1 too 😉 )

in reply tomelbrown

That’s exactly what’s going Mel, the cause behind these childhood pains have resurfaced and I’m crawling back into a really bad place

💗 Sending you a warm hug... believe I know it's tough & hard to talk about.... it's even difficult for me to talk about with my brother. You are safe now, just remind yourself that... you have so many people who are here for you ... when you are ready... don't feel bad about not going into it... staying safe is more important. 🌻🌻🌻

We all felt that way at some point you don’t have to say much you can say you’re not okay and you don’t want to talk about it right now that way your loved ones can know

in reply toImpulsivelyMe

Thank you that actually sound like a better idea 🌻 I hope you’re doing well

Thank you, and thanks for the replies. Sometimes there is no simple fix. All we can do is be aware of what is going on for us. I know you are in a lot of pain now, but there is beauty and clarity and honesty in what you wrote. It inspired me and helped me feel better because you captured what a lot of us have been through. I hope you feel the love here. You have made some special friends and that counts for a lot.

💜 thank you so much for these words, you’re not alone trust me and I really am grateful for everyone on here I have some amazing friends

Wow you just wrote what I wrote in quite a few similar words. I’m here with you. I feel like I have to be for others and be strong and what about me well I’m so confused anyway I’ll do my best at the jobs I have now and try to stay pushed away it’s easier but it can be sad like my kids I’m number 1 in there on the engaging chart but say my husband I cannot be close to him normally. So I let it be and I take me time. And I do have my spells where I’m in trouble and now is one of them but we’ll maybe something that we need will come to us just when we can’t quite take it anymore.

Or maybe, just maybe, your friends will stand by you and help you through this!

in reply toStarrlight

Talking take out so much energy especially for people like us when we try to explain what’s wrong and can’t even find the right words, me and you are going through some really rough times, I’m hanging in there trying to keep my head above the darkness so should you

Goes both ways. I've had a bit of a rough patch too. I have something surprising to tell you about myself whenever you decide that you want to pm me. Perhaps we could help each other here. But, I certainly value all of my good friends and you are one of them!

Hi callmedanielle. sorry that you are going thru a difficult time. I'm glad that you reached out on this forum. You are not alone. I would rather have you tell me what is bothering you and making you feel down than to see your picture in the obituary section. believe in yourself. You are worth the every bit of effort. Do yourself justice and tell the truth to your therapist. surround yourself with true people who want to know you. focus on your strong points. and slowly work on the others. Everyone has something to work on. You are a person created with a purpose. Happy to meet you and hope to talk to you again soon. Hugs my friend :)
