Emotionally, spiritually and physically tired

Supermum

Hello all, the last 2 and a half years have been exhausting and I feel like I am just living in an empty universe. I don’t want to talk to my family, my psychologist or anyone . I just want to be quiet and alone. Sometimes life is bearable and I love my children and feel more committed to living but other times I just want it to stop. For the silence and peace to begin. Would it be so awful for those around me to no longer have me in their lives as my constant up and down with sadness must be as tiring for them as it is for me. Things that used to help me focus and be grateful for small things don’t seem to snap me back into place and I just don’t want to do this anymore pure and simple.

Hi Geoff , nice to speak to you . Yes I’m a way , an addiction as well as a mental Heath problem . The need for something anything to just make it all bearable .

I don’t take your comments/ opinion as a criticism at all . Everyone has a way of coping wether it be religion/ spirituality or alcohol. Just that some things are more harmful than others.

Hi Supermum, thanks for getting back to us because there are on so many occasions we hope we haven't upset the original poster, in this case, it's you, not that that's what I would ever want to do and I see your position as being in an extremely difficult situation, one, however, I would be no different than how you are, and most definitely would succumb to.

Saying that, and everyone is different, it's not easy to know or at least try to make a decision without any criticism on where to start.

I feel sorry for you and hope to hear back from you.

Hello Supermum, we know of your situation and wonder how you are coping, and whether or not you managed to get a bed is our concern as well.

If you are able to get back us, at your convenience that would be lovely.

Hi ,

Tough week ... booked for inpatient on Monday. Would be happy to go today but I promised to go camping with my family this weekend . I just can’t do this anymore . Just want to scream to run to hide .

Hi Tim ,

Ready to move forward before I fall in a heap I guess. Booked in for an inpatient on Monday . If not before . Feel so detached and despondent . Not a good way to be I guess.
