Struggling

I don’t even know what to say. Please forgive me in advance if this is rambly and makes no sense. I am not doing good right now. Haven’t been for over a week. There are things going on right now, things in my face that I am trying to deal with that I just can’t discuss right now. It’s taking every thing in me to just survive.

I know I don’t have to blog. This is not a job, it’s a hobby. I don’t get paid to write; I have no contractual obligation. However, you are my friends and I do feel like I owe you something. Some truth, some knowledge about what I’m going through, so you at least know why I’m not around much.

I love this space, I love writing. I don’t have words right now.

I am struggling to get out of bed each day. To take care of my kids. To manage the seemingly HUGE task in front of me. To heal.

I am not sleeping. I am barely eating. There is a very angry T-Rex sitting on my chest, making it hard for me to breath. My kids, my husband and my best friend/life line are keeping me going right now. It’s a struggle. It’s hard right now.

Before it’s asked, yes I am in therapy, yes I am taking my now upped meds. I am okay. Truly. Don’t worry, I’m not going off the deep end. I’m just dealing with some heavy shit. Some old shit that needs to be dealt with.

I don’t have words. I’ll be around, as always. I’ve commented on some blogs and then others I just can’t. I spend a little time on Twitter and then I just can’t. I’m doing the best I can right now. I hope you’ll understand and give me some time.

    I get it more than you know. Or actually, you probably do know.

    You do what you need to do to take care of you. That’s what’s important right now, not us, or the blog.

    Here if you need me.

    Love you. xoxo

    I’m so sorry you are struggling. As the others said, we all understand and in no way should you feel obligated to blog. We will be here when you get back.

    Something I was thinking of the other day that really helped me at a dark time in my life was the book “When Bad Things Happen to Good People.” It just put things in a new light and helped me heal a bit. I know you probably don’t even feel like reading right now, but when you do maybe it can help a little.

    Oh love, I am in the same (a similar) place right now. I don’t know what it is that you are dealing with, but sometimes life just sucks major ass and you have to deal with it. I hate dealing with it sometimes.

    I am glad you are in therapy. So am I. I am glad you upped your meds. So did I. It is important that we take care of our bodies, but even more important that we take care of our minds.

    Please take care of yourself first and foremost.

    I’m here if you need me.

    Sweetie, I understand all too well right now. There are so many things I wish I could write about as I think it might help me. But the nature of the problems is the problem itself and I just… can’t write it on the internet. Too complicated and hurtful and I’m crying as I write even this.

    Sucks.

    I’m sending you my love. I’m sending you the hope that this will pass quickly…

    I am only just now beginning to see the light after nearly two years of living in what I have thought, at times, was an unfathomable darkness – one in which I didn’t know if I would ever, let alone WANT to ever, get out of.

    It’s hard. I won’t lie. It’s hard to keep forcing yourself out of bed when you don’t want to. But you do. And know that there are women like me, reaching out to you and encouraging you to grasp onto my hand and not let go. We’ll pull each other up and out.

    Hang in there sweetie.
