I've never spoken to anyone about how i feel or anything. Even my husband. I just cant. I dont really know what i am supposes to do. I feel so alone and lost.

Oh Sapphire I wish I could give you a big big hug.

I have been sh a lot too (haven’t admitted to my husband) but I know it’s not the answer, but it’s our way of coping. We need to find a new way. So many people would be devasted to lose you hun. If you can’t hold on for yourself, try to hold on for them. It’s what I do, I hold on for my husband.

The fact you’re realising you need help is a huge step! Please consider going back to the ed. Keep talking with us. We all really care about you. Xxxxxxx

Hi Sapphire

im sorry your struggling so much. we are here for you

hugs and hugs xoxo

Thank you Sophie_M.

Its nice to know so many people care and that im not alone. Ive been convinced for so long that noone cared about me and that i was alone. Maybe more just that i didnt deserve peoples care and help.

I think rereading posts is a good idea. Im just scared of reading and getting to the point where i went back down. But it will be good to read the posts where i was on the up and beating this thing.

Ive got someone from the community doing a follow up call at 7pm tonight. Im going to ask them about hospital. I think i made a huge mistake declining going in there. I know i need the extra help. Especially right now, after all the major events ive just been through and planned my exit after those events. I need the help and now that ive declined it im not sure what to do and feel lost and scared that this is it.

Thankyou for being here for me. Its comforting to know you and everyone else believes in me. Now to believe in myself.

Deebi. Thank you for you lovely reply and even more for sticking by me. I know i can be frustrating for everyone.

I took your advice and had a nice relaxing hot hot shower. Washed my hair and just stayed in there as long as possible. Now im just laying on my bed relaxing as im so tired.

I have an appointment on Wednesday to see my gp regarding meds. So will chat with him then. Hubby is probably goi ng to come with me to make sure i actually go.

My dog is named Ele. As in Elephant lol 😆 pronounced Ellie. She is a Maltese Shihtzu 🐑 my lil lamby

Grandy. Thank you for your caring posts. Means alot. Truely does. You dont need to say much at all. Just knowing your here helps me.

I think its too late to go back to the ed for help to be admitted. Maybe i can do this at home. With community care. Im just really scared atm. I feel like every decision i make is the wrong one.

Hubby just left for work and its just me and my sister here. Sister is no help. She doesnt understand because of her disability. Plus weve not been getting along that well lately. I actually have been trying to avoid her. She just is so intense sometimes and i cant deal with it. Makes me feel like a shit person.

Thank you for all your encouragement and for holding my hand. 💙

Thank you Emmy. I do need a hug thanks 🤗. Im sorry to read that you also sh. Its not nice feeling afterwards. Good in the moment for that release but then the shame and guilt after is not great and adds to the problem in the first place. I kept it a secret from everyone for a long time. Been doing it since about 13 so have become apt at hiding it. Just sometimes i make a mistake or am to distressed to control myself and require medical attention. Hopefully you can come to a point to let your hubby in, and tell him whats happening for you. (Swallows on advice) 😶
