TRIGGER

I want to leave this earth. But I won’t. I promise. But that’s what is on my mind and I’m tired of suffering. I don’t want to call anyone or go anywhere. I just need to release this thought and get support until this passes. I just can’t believe one can suffer so much. I’m so on edge so depressed and anxious exhausted and I just want it to get better but I don’t see it happening. Praying.

When I was 21, I hit rock bottom. Drunk every night, slowly killing myself. Fast forward to me in my forties, I'm alive and beyond blessed. You can pull through this. If a little nobody like me can, you surely can. Miracles can happen. Have hope and faith.

That’s the spirit .....I’ve got pissy windy weather...been like it for awhile but soon be spring ...be able to go and find some fox cubs 😁 saw 5 once looked about 2 weeks old outside the den playing 🦊didn’t have a camera though

Starrlight profile image
Starrlight in reply to Sillysausage234

🦊 we have fox in our backyard... omg I can’t wait for summer!!! I need the beach and my kids home and carefree days !

in reply to Starrlight

Foxes are strange creatures. If they did not try and forage or attack rabbits or cats we could embrace them as if they were a dog. Dogs wont be criticised for chasing a cat or attacking it. It's part of their nature. When my family come they bring their lovely dog who drives my old cat out. I have to leave her in a bedroom when the kids are around as well as the dog. It is hard to say the cat comes second when family comes but enjoying our family during our lives when we are fit enough to run around and join in has to be a priority. You want you kids to see you happy and secure. Hope this spell disappears and the spring weather will buck us up to take photographs pick daffodils or spring flowers, as spring is the start of the birth cycle of the seasons.

Starrlight in reply to

Yeah I feel bad that my kids don’t have a better me but when I am around them I smile and play it’s hard to hide the pain and my kids sense my anxiety but I’m doing the best I can for them. I pray it’s good enough. I’m really worried now. I don’t think I’ll ever not be this way...

in reply to Starrlight

Do you think the mood swings you are experiencing actually stir your emotions so if you are on drugs you feel you cant experience emotion and you feel dead inside?

Think there has to be a happy medium in recognising that you may need support. Don't think I'm being silly but I was reading that Crazy Water contains lithia, the mineral in rocks in spring water in certain areas of TEXAS. There is a bottled mineral

water which people are buying because it helps their mental health. It has been sold in bottles since 1881. If I lived in the states I would buy some, boiling it first as I am fussy mare, then drink it. If you are not on conflicting medicines it might be a harmless tonic. As it is not a drug and not in large doses it does not require safety checks. Number 4 is meant to be the best spring water and you can find blogs and reviews no doubt on this water.

MidnightBriarRose in reply to Starrlight

Starrlight....I know it may be hard to believe this right now....but even though we have only just recently met and I don’t yet know you that well....I know in my heart that in your heart and spirit, you really DO believe in God....and you are His child!!! And do you want to know how I know this?.....Because you are a kindred spirit and I can FEEL it.....this is how I KNOW that you believe in Him! And the doubts you are having are only part of the OCD, depression and anxiety.....but God knows the real you, because He knows your heart.....God never gives up on those who love Him....But, most of all, because He loves you, He will never give up on you!!!

Also, know this....Anyone who is able to reach out to other people and lend a helping hand of love, strength and compassion is a very STRONG person.....and you are that person! You have no idea how much you helped me yesterday, just by being who you are....and because of you, I am smiling today.....not only because you made me feel better, but because I know I have a friend in you!!!

And there is something else I know about you, Starr.....You are a very positive, upbeat, intuitive, kind, spiritual and loving person by nature.....it’s just who you are.....and you are also a LOT stronger than you think you are! And even though you struggle.....in your heart and soul you love life.....and you love people.....and this is why I know that you have what it takes to get through this.

You said in your previous message that you want to believe in God and the Angels.....and you will.....because YOU are an Angel.....and they are already all around you.....all you have to do is let them in! ❤️❤️❤️

Matthew 11: 28-30

“Come to me, all ye who are weary and heavy laden and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you and learn from me, for I am gentle and humble in heart and you will find rest for your soul. For my yoke is easy and my burden is light”.

John 10:27-28

“My sheep hear my voice and I know them.....and they follow me. And I give unto them eternal life; and they shall never perish, neither shall any man pluck them out of my hand.

John 3:16

“For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life”.

Romans 10:9

“That if you confess with your mouth, "Jesus is Lord," and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved”.

Angels are here with people who help by a kind word or something that triggers our self to be as best as we can. You are an angel with your children their guardian and protector so it is not easy when you have this intense sadness and loss which you cannot resolve accept by putting your own family first. Kids understand you and love you to bits but am sure you will get through this block which is preventing you from enjoying yourself and practicing your talents as an artist. Go for it..

Belief in God is important because he does exist. It's impossible that nothing created everything. Prophecies of the bible and many other things is evidence of God. PM me if you'd like some information. I was an atheist but really searched for the truth thoroughly and finally found it through the only truth of Christ.

Oh my beautiful, amazing sis.. I so feel for you... it's the disease giving you all these negative feelings.... I just may call anyway... it's all good .. I'll leave you a message...

I love you so much..well it amazes me..

Hi Starr.

I am here,too. Sending you my love and support. I care about you. We are all here for you.

Can you maybe think of something to do that is different for you that might help. Remember baby steps.

I think on the road to recovery when we are depressed, we stand still a lot. Sometimes we even go backwards but we are still on that road and hanging in there for each other and those we love.

I am racking my brain trying to think of what different baby step to take because I definitely need a different plan to keep myself from falling into this same hole. It is so tiresome isn’t it, always fighting. I am glad you are going out today.

So keep talking to your friends here. You can communicate with them. They care and you have lots of offers to talk. And I care. ❤️💕🌻💖🔛🔙🔛🔙🔜🔝🔛

Starrlight profile image
Starrlight in reply to Poodie

It IS tiring. I will feel better in nature. Love to you ❤️

What kind of hold have you been falling in?

Poodie profile image
Poodie in reply to Starrlight

It’s a deep hole and I can not seem to crawl out of it and I am tired of this happening. I want to do something different but I have not figured out what yet so I stay in it. I am much better away from the house. I want to escape from here.

Every time I get home, it’s the same old feeling. I slip too easily into it and I have to change that pattern at the point when I arrive home. Or better somehow prepare myself beforehand, but I have yet to figure out how.

Maybe I need a long range goal to work towards.

I still have not unpacked or gone through the mail or even done my laundry. The most productive thing I have done is brush my dog and taken them out in the woods for a walk. It ‘s pretty pathetic .

I think I am sick of dealing with everything and it is hard to move.

I will though, eventually (move), but only for the reason that in about 1O days we are leaving for a meeting ( a little work) for a week out of town and i will be gone again, which I enjoy. I want a permanent vacation!

We have been gone over 7 wks in the last 4 months. So many things around here need to be fixed and these interruptions are good for me but there is no momentum going forward.

Thanks for asking but maybe I should not have laid all that on you right now.

Sorry !

I am o k, just feeling a bit depressed and struggling right now and hoping to make my next arrival hope better.

Starrlight profile image
Starrlight in reply to Poodie

I want to do different too. I hear you that you need to feel better. There will be better times. I just went out into nature and i can relate when you say it’s hard when home. Things need to be fixed here in my home too. It’s hard to keep up isn’t it? Where were you the 7 weeks?

You are not alone!! 🙌🏼 I’m suffering too and wondering how much I can take. I’m tired of fighting so hard. And on top of all the depression is the guilt and shame for feeling this way. For some reason when I think of my son & husband I feel SO much guilt for being depressed. Like I choose to be going through this.

Kainan in reply to Starrlight

Yeah, I get it. I’ve felt horrible and utterly defeated for a long time, but somehow managed to come out of it. Everything changes at some time or another. Awareness is key. Stay strong. I’m with you Starrlight

Starrlight profile image
Starrlight in reply to Kainan

What helped you come out of it? It seems never ending

Kainan profile image
Kainan in reply to Starrlight

A few things, like medication, exercise, social supports. Which are all great for maintenance. But I think what’s important is to learn how to acknowledge and accept how you’re feeling and not identify it with your sense of self. You can pay attention to it and let it go. In other words, you are not your mind. That’s why awareness is so important. We can all learn to be the witnesses of our thoughts and emotions, which is an essential part of being present. You may even feel moments of ease within.

Starrlight profile image
Starrlight in reply to Kainan

I’ll be trying. Sense of self is closely connected to how I feel and not sure how to change that.

Starrlight in reply to Poodie

I did. I went to a lake I got some calm. Going again today. ❤️

Poodie profile image
Poodie in reply to Starrlight

Starr,

I hope you enjoy the lake today. I know you are tired of the depression. Please stay alive so you can keep enjoying the beauty in the world and keep knowing all the people who want to know you, help and take care of you. You are a beautiful person. You are important to many people.

Does it help you to exercise ? It raises those endorphins and may help. Hike or just walk ?

I’d love to see some of your photos if you feel comfortable sharing.

Is their anything regarding your photography that you can make into a goal ? Is it possible you could work on putting them together with a line or two of your thoughts and making a book ? I don’t know if that is realistic. But it would give you an outlet for your feeling, something to work on, and for others to identify with also.

I love nature also, especially the woods, animals , and the ocean, and good people. We are all part of nature. So please hang in there for yourself and everyone who cares about you and wants to take care of you as best we can.

Good for you for getting out to the lake two days in a row!

I hope you will feel better soon and keep feeling better. ❤️😘💕

Starrlight in reply to Poodie

You are amazing Poodie. Your words give me hope. Thank you 🙏 I will be brainstorming fir a photography goal. Maybe for now I can take pics of my kids to print out some black and white shots which I haven’t done in a while. I do like hiking... I walk or run many days.

And that's is true 100% positivity and I'm not saying just you but your whole environment. Get with people old people new people who ever can give you some of that positive energy . Go explore new things, change up your lifestyle. Go sky diving or if you already tried jumping off a plane try jumping in to the plane lol.. you get what I mean.. spice up your life and dont stop just keep pushing.

I know your thoughts are hard to control but it's your thoughts also keeping you alive so you know how powerful you are to change it all.

This may sound strange but it may be worth to try probiotics. I've been taking 50 billion probiotics for months now and it has resolved so many problems for me. Severe panic attacks and depression, extreme fatigue etc. I've been really bad for years and have been off work for almost 3 years now and am finally attempting to return to work now because I'm almost back to normal. It took at least 4 weeks to see a significant difference but after 4 months and has even gotten more better. I can finally exercise without feeling like I'll die for hours afterwards. I believe the gut has a big role to play in our health and mental health. God bless.

Starrlight profile image
Starrlight in reply to HealthAnxietyGuy

I do drink kombucha.

HealthAnxietyGuy profile image
HealthAnxietyGuy in reply to Starrlight

I'm not sure if kombucha is enough. I've researched it in the past and there are many cons as well as some pros. I did a quick research and most kombucha contains small amounts of alcohol which isn't good for any bowel problems, even in small quantities. I also saw that it usually only contains thousands of probiotics when our gut needs billions, especially when most die on the way. To me it's like yogurt, it's not enough and you shouldn't drink too much kombucha also as it can be unhealthy. I take a 50B pill with 12 strains of probiotics and are slow release so that it can reach the large intestine. It's from Renew Life.

Anything from my kid’s cough to that I won’t be able to do what I need to do and suffer another day because of anxiety and depression... it tries to trick me away from the good stuff... I get disturbing triggers that are hard to put into words what is going on with me, my mind’s imagination really messes with me. I worry I will miss something important or do something unforgivable.

Poodie profile image
Poodie in reply to Starrlight

I remember feeling that way about my kids coughing, ear infections, etc. It seemed never ending and I felt defeated.

I think I needed to accept it and realize they will get better and also that I just needed to slow down and realize other things will get done in time. I struggled with that. I remember It was a tough time, especially not having family around to help, husband had long hours.

I hear you. It does get easier.

Starrlight profile image
Starrlight in reply to Poodie

You are right... it gets better... then worse... better again and it comes in waves.

in reply to Starrlight

Perhaps it is lack of sleep. This weather can affect us all quite badly. I guess wondering about the future and whether you can cope with the kids when they are ill

and when you become run down too and you looking after the rest of your family.

Have you heard of PANDAS? I only heard of it recently, and it does explain a lot of problems which people are not aware of. Hope the sun comes out and you can go out

and take photos or do some art work..the kids love it don't they?

Wow. it has been so cold here we have been in mainly. Bet those photos are fab.

Found a nugget of information which you might like. Vitamin B9 deficiency can prevent dopamine being created in the brain. Too much copper from water supply with oestrogen levels can affect mood and create psychiatric symptoms.

psychologytoday.com copper toxicity a common cause of psychiatric symptoms. If you have copper pipes for your water it may raise copper in water. I use a water filter to screen out pesticides and other factos. Copper fungicide sprays are used to kill bugs and is found in foods. It is a hidden world where we don't realise how we are eating toxins in the diet. B9 or folates can be found in foods myfooddata.com

My son 24 year old had a special water filter too. Then I have one attached to the fridge but it’s not high tech like his. Downstairs in our laundry room the pipes are copper so I wouldn’t drink of it. So many things to look out for in this world ugh 😑

Glad to know there is someone else who is fussy. Your son sounds youthful. Mine are

Starrlight in reply to

So true! My oldest runs like 10 miles some days. Yeah super healthy guy. My 7 year old just told me we have the perfect life because we’re together Do your children live close to you?

in reply to Starrlight

Yes family nearby and others up north. I'm a granny so I can imagine how

busy you are with kids aged 7years. Isn't that profound how your son has

summed up happiness you being together as a family. We have to go with the youth

and try to be there for them as long as we can. At the moment everyone who has suddenly confronted their mortality but wants to live cannot understand how someone with deep depression has missing chemicals in their brain so even though

they feel they have a choice they don't. Like you am drug sensitive, and feel better

when I am in control of my health, but when you have tests and find you need help at

least you have a fighting chance to survive. That's what you have to show to survive that you will find help and others will do their best to help you. You are not a lost

cause you are a mother and the best thing since sliced bread to everyone who loves

you..so you cant argue with that.

The link didn’t bring me to songs... but thank you so much, I’ll try again.

I pray for you that all these things that you are going through will be gone. Stay strong. I believe in you. I know you are stronger than this.

I feel on the edge most of the time too. Sometimes hating myself for being like this. Hating myself for becoming this type of person that I don't want to be. I envy other people a lot cause I think they are so normal and I am not. But I know it's not my fault I am like this. I know there's a rainbow after all of these. :)

Thank you!!! 🙏 😊 What comes to mind is that we are who we are supposed to be in the now or we wouldn’t be here and we will see that in a brighter light on the good days ... on the bad, we may not believe any of the positive .,.but all we can do is our best holding on to be there for ourselves and others.
