The purpose of life is not to be happy. It is to be useful, to be honorable, to be compassionate, to have it make some difference that you have lived and lived well.

Hey lovely, can you use things like the Samaritans to help stop you from doing anything? Does your husband and your medical team know that you are feeling unsafe?
Sweetheart you need to remember that you're still transitioning from one med to another, it's going to be hard for a while, but IT WILL PASS..
Do a little of something that makes you happy every day!

I feel like I'm in freefall. It's scary yet part of me just wants to crash land because then the fear of falling will be over. They took all my stockpile of tablets and I live in the middle of nowhere so I can't get out to buy more. Running out in front of a bus is looking very attractive. My husband is aware of how low I feel. My medical team just keep telling me I'm strong ill get through this but I feel anything but strong. I just want to curl up in a ball and it call be over
how are you doing? Did you get any sleep?

Keeping fighting this is something you can do.... I'm really glad you've been talking this through with your husband hunni. Do you have any chance to rest and be kind to yourself today?

Keep fighting you WILL get through this and remember the Samaritans are at the end of the phone if you need someone to talk to. I'm glad you've talked things over with your husband.
77 and counting, less of the "Old" call me "Mike"

I hope you're doing OK today, I know exactly how you're feeling and how scary it can be, it does feel like it will never end but believe me it does end and you will get better

Thank you all. I got a bit of sleep. I was so tired from the hospital. I've 2 loads of washing done, tea on the go and the dog taken to the beach for a walk. I'm functioning on autopilot. So so emotionless and detached and numb. Is this how life feels from now on
No, sweetheart, this may be how life is now, but not from now on. There is ALWAYS a way through

I'm with Paula. Love being in hospital is exhausting, coming home from hospital is even more exhausting. Sweetheart you are doing an awful lot for someone who is needing to focus on themselves and getting through the day safely, rather than being responsible for the cooking, cleaning, washing etc Someone else can pick up those tasks. If right now all you can do is binge watch tv series snuggled in a duvet, then that's what you need to do. You need to just "be" right now. Maybe getting up and having a shower and putting on clean pj's is enough... Don't try to be superwoman love or you won't be giving yourself the space and kindness to get through this....
