Simples

Hey,

I made an "emergency appointment" with my GP and told her I'm suicidal. She's given me the number of the nearest Private Hospital to my home and said it's a really lovely place. Dr D recommends the staff highly and as I love her and value her opinion, maybe it's a good idea after all?

I also called "George" my psych and have an appointment with him first thing on Thursday morning. Bless him, he's called me too - just to make sure I'm still here.

I've let Alun know, too. I hated worrying him but I wanted him to know because if he was feeling this way, I'd want him to tell me. Alun calls me every hour to check I'm okay. I'm not okay but I'm doing my best to get through this. Alun's home all day tomorrow and Wednesday so I'm looking forward to having him home. I love this man so much.

I might not be important to my family, but I have good people around me.

Logic tells me that I don't need to be suicidal. All I have to do is let go of my family because as it stands right now, I'm just getting more and more upset being around them. Logic reminds me that I have a super team of the BEST people the world can offer as my friends. Logic reminds me that I can pick up my phone and call my closest, dearest friends and say "I'm not coping" and that they'll do everything they can to help me.

But logic isn't as strong as depression, anxiety, self doubt and self hatred right now.

All I can hear in my head is "You're not worth it" "You're a waste of space" "Alun is better off without you" "You will just burden your friends - leave them alone for God's sake" and above it all, louder than all these thoughts, is the thought:

"Your FAMILY are the people that are supposed to naturally love you. What kind of person are you that your family think so little of you?"

It should be simple, really. Let go of the people in my life that make me feel bad. Hang onto those that do, don't hurt myself.

Yet, it doesn't make sense in my head. My thoughts are muddled and dark and I don't know which way is up.

Nothing makes sense in my head right now.

I feel broken. So very broken.

I feel like it will never get better so the race is on...will I outrun this sadness, hopelessness and darkness - or will it catch up with me and consume me?

best $270.00 I've ever spent, honestly :)

Now that I've written that, I can remember other things I've loved spending HUGE amounts on: * the first time I got my hair chemically straightened :) * when I bought Jon a "year's pass" to the movies - he loved that gift more than anything else I've ever given him * any time I give Mom 'board money' because she's always so grateful and seeing her smile is a blessing anyway *sigh* back to the point... ...today I'm writing to you from a Travelodge Hotel Room. I know...not the most amazing Hotel - but you wouldnt believe how nice my room is. It's a "deluxe suite" and is big, comfortable, pretty and best of all *big smile* it's airconditioned!!! OH YEAH!!! In this horrid, dry and yet super humid Perth heat...being able to sleep to the hum of a working and LOVELY air conditioner is definitely worth the money I've paid. Here's what lead to this: My anxiety began with coming home to find the carpet pulled up, m...

and then, we move on...

Sometimes moving on can be so hard. I remember last year when I got "released" from hospital. The fear of leaving that safe trauma ward was awful. I hated thinking "oh God...now I'll be on my own and I still cant walk"...but you know what? we move on. We move on from petty fights with friends, from stupid family things, from broken hearts and crap days and we hope for better things. Im blessed because I'm experiencing those 'better things' right now, actually. Think about it, Im at work (so Im thankful for a job), I have the world's most amazing people as my friends (seriously, all my friends are worth their weight in gold) I have a safe home, lots of food and money... and I have an amazing boyfriend. Alun met up with me yesterday at the Royal on a sunny, warm Perth day. He had something in a huge shopping bag and held it out to me with an excited grin "OMG Janet - open it, you're gonna LOVE it!" and the smile on his face r...

10...and then 5 :)

Yeah I can tell Im getting better because even though things are tough right now and Im sad and a bit fed up and weary...I still have hope :) I cant help it, it's who I am. I got an email from "Sandy" today. I really care about her and I look up to her and will probably read her email again when im less tired from a long day and it will make more sense...but for now, what I think she was trying to say to me was to take a bit more ownership of my life and to stop asking God to fix it all...or something like that...and I want you to know, Sandy - Im taking ownership of it and doing it ALL myself...but I believe in God and I believe that he hears me and so Im taking EVERYTHING to Him and just asking for some direction on this. I'll email you personally about about that another day. Thanks for always being there for me. I keep trying and failing and falling, then getting excited about something new and getting back up. Im on a very strange path just now and although...
