still hanging in there

hello everyone, well the past couple of days have been torcherous.... i'm so confused with life. I want to live but I feel like why do I keep fighting my thoughts? I love my family etc. but just, I guess hate myself. I talked with my doctor, psych the other day but it left little relief. I am hoping that knowing others are out there surviving each day as I am helps. One of my co-workers asked/told me to quit being so selfish. I wasn't sure what to say. I was upset but also a bit like yeah. I'm not sure. but anyway I am rambling and will go. I hope everyone can keep hanging on, I will keep working on it.

hi here4, what you describe is pretty much how i feel, the thought processes do change (often every other second) but I keep trying to hold onto that I love my family and that they are there and need me (I only recently got this belief back) never going to let it go again. I suggest you go back to the dr and psych to say what you have said here, explain that the contact has not been beneficial.
In the meantime, keep posting here, we want to here from you and want you to feel welcome into the group

Hey here4, i am sorry the last couple of days have been like this for you. I think all of us here have felt the same way. I know I have those rambling thoughts and wish I had better control of them - better - as if I have any control.....I do not, just the hope that I will always keep family in my mind and fighting the nothingness.

please know there are others surviving each day and that we are here for you when you need.

I am also sorry a co-worker talked to you that way. Obviously, they have not yet experienced what we are going through and I I hope they do not, as I wouldn't wish this on my worst enemy.

(((hugs)))

I just deleted almost all of my reply by mistake....that seems to be how life goes. i just do not know how much more of this i can deal with it. i don't know...i lost my train of thought and can't remember what i deleted. i want to feel joy, i am so discusted with myself it is just a continual circle. i just want to do and hide in a place my own and disappear into the void. i know is not the answer. or i just want to be told it will be better. does that make sense?

hi again here4, all what you have said sounds familiar, and although you wont realise it you have helped me alot by sharing your feelings. I would offer a small space in my dark hole but I am about to climb out, I offer you my hand to keep you out.
Hugs
