Cant Keep Up The Smiles ***may Trigger***

OK I cant keep up now, I've lost my mental balance and havent been able to get it back.

it all started on sunday night when I was trying to work through my feelings and cry again to release some of the hurt thats built up since loosing Danielle and baby Brooke, it turned out really badly, too many emotions came rushing out at once and I couldnt cope with them all and took a stanely knife to my chest and arms :( first time in 3 years I've self harmed, the day after I was left pretty rough and could still feel the emotions, mainly sadness and despair bubbling away just under the surface, I tried to continue as normal and keep up the smiles so my mum didnt notice since I'm one of her main carers she has to always think I'm doing well or she wouldnt cope,

but I wasnt fine, far from it, I was an emotional wreck and I struggled to keep it together, I came on here to try and distract myself and did what I could to help my friends on here but all the while I was falling away myself, then tuesday came and I saw my therapist I had to tell him what happened he wasnt happy with me but we talked through things but I still dont feel right I came on here that night and did what I could again to help everyone else and to be honest on wednesday I spent most of it in bed I feel mentally exhausted and am runnin on empty now

I dont know what to do I can feel myself slipping into the way I was before I had my balance and I'm struggling to cope, today the smiles are gone and I just feel so confused and lost, I have to do something before I totally loose it but I dont know what to do now my will is shattered and my self control is gone and I'm struggling to hold it together :(

maybe I should add I'm bipolar here :S

Oh David, I wish I could give you a real life hug. I think you worry too much about helping other people you know? You put too much pressure on yourself. It probably is a welcome distraction for you most of the time, but there are times (like now) when you have to put your own heath first.

Don't beat yourself up about SH, it's been and gone now. Just move and and learn from it. There is so many points, and reasons to keep going. I know you want to help others, and I know that this is something you have a natural ability to do. Keep that goal in your sight, you will get there in the end.

I'm sorry that I'm not so good with words, but I wanted you to know how highly everyone here thinks of you, we're all here to lean on.

I never talk about my illness so I dont belong here do I? maybe I should go back to where I was and leave everyone to it,

I try so hard day after day to do everything I can to see everyone is ok, but its like my dad always said my best isnt good enough it never is I'm a failure and always will be,

I havent even got the decency to stay dead :(

whats the point in it anymore?

I have nothing to offer anyone, its the reason I always find myself alone all I do is hurt people no body needs someone like that in their life

I'm so sorry

you DO belong here... i really don't know the background yet honey but fuck anyone who has made you think otherwise.

you are a long away from 'all i do is hurt people', and that is so not true. you have been such an amazing support to so many people here, particularly me, while you were going through a really hard time yourself. you do have a lot to offer people.

maybe you should stop trying to be the amazing person you really are, and stop worrying about the others for a while, and concentrate on looking after YOU just new.

take care xxxxxxxxxxx

Thank you all for your kind words but I fear their wasted on me, each and everyone of you's in a unique wonderful person and it has been my pleasure knowing each of you,

I dont know if I will be around much the now, I've done something I shouldnt have and I dont really have the energy to control my moods anymore, I gave up and let it all out and now its torturing me today my mood has crashed so badly that I cant really see the light anymore

take care,

please david, take time to care about YOU. i know we differ on our opinions on this from talking before, and that's ok - but you HAVE to look after yourself...

please talk to someone irl if you need the help and you arent going to be here... please dont cut yourself off... that is a slippery slope which really you dont want to be on... trust me i been there "loads"...

take care of you

I'm fighting my own mind over it I feel like I'm split in two half of me knows I should but the other half is so reluctant to tell anyone because of what might happen, I could never face going into hospital by doing so I would loose all control over my life and to me thats worse and would feel like hell,

I think I'm going to try and get put back on the Intensive Home Treatment Team, if they have any spaces that is,

right now my psych is on holiday for 2 weeks so all I have is my cpn and therapist if I'm speaking to anyone it will be my therapist he's easier to approach and knows how I've been struggling since sunday because I just saw him on tuesday there,

(((((David))))))) i'm so sorry i didnt respond to this thread before

you are a big part of the site and you have supported a lot of ppl including me. if you don't want to talk you dont have to, say as much or as little as you like, theres no rules. the only thing that matters is that you know how much we care and how willing we are to help. maybe you don't think you deserve it, i don't think i do either but we think you do and support is always there when you need it

I think the home treatment team sounds like a good idea, that will give you some extra support but its less likely to make the problem worse like going back into hospital would xxx

i know i said i wouldnt come back on here but i am so angry someone would try to upset/hurt or belittle your illness for their own gain.

YOU are wonderful David ( and i tend to not like most people so consider yerself blessed :P) and now its time to put YOU first. Fuck what anyone else thinks about you, you look after youself and wee buttons and don't worry about the rest of the world.

How can you fix others if you don't even know how to fix yourself sweetie. nows the time to be selfish and focus your energy on feeling better and stronger.

you know i thinks your awesome (=

always here for you sweets, always xoxox

Sounds silly, but I've convinced myself to tell my therapist about it I need to get this sorted before I go too far, thank you everyone for your kind words,

David
