Hi again @Former-Member
I will always be here for you. You will get that dream home that you always wanted. I want you to promise that you will look after you. You can always get extra support you need in a private hospital, if that is what you need. Plus you have your loving & supportive husband, who I know would be worried about you.You have taught me so much since I have know you and that is quite a while now. I really appreciate our friendship and I wish I knew IRL. What matters most now is you and we as a community we do care about you and your health. Would you make an appointment to see someone tomorrow or early next week? What are you having for dinner @Former-Member ? PS You always stick to me like super glue!!

Thank you @Zoe7, @NikNik and @utopia
What I am experiencing right now is despair - I get confused and believe even the light has forsaken me. It's very, very dark. Cold and lonely.
Everything bad, unjust, hurtful and tragic has happened to myself and husband over the past couple of days. It's quite unbelievable and tends to make us question anything good and our faith. If I lose the latter when like this I am doomed. But I am struggling with believing in anything good,But as Nik said I can look here at the help, support and see the good. The good that I need so much now as I can see nothing but a dark empty void. No direction, no fervour, no purpose. As that was all taken.
Life has not been kind but quite cruel, But then there's all you all are, your goodness and compassion reaching out. It's my sanity right now as my husband is not ha doing me as he is suffering too,
I just don't know where to go to from here. What has happened to me the last couple of days has totally ruined me

Thank you @oceangirl for always being there. I am drowning at the moment, all strength both inner and outer depleted. I have not eaten for a day now and have no desire to. I feel to scared to even think about tomorrow xx

I am really worried about you @Former-Member. You need to try to eat something, that wouldn't make you feel too good if you have not eaten anything. Is hubby able to get you something at home or something outside of the home (takeaway). You will be okay, it mite not feel like it atm but you will be okay. I will be back later to check on you.

Thank you @Faith-and-Hope and @oceangirl
Yes, I definitely will need medication this time. Even though the side effects are gruesome and they make me a zombie - I would rather live feeling totally numb then feeling the constant grief and pain thrown at me by this world. Only downside is I won't have much to offer anymore. This is so unfair my friends, it's eating me up. I don't know what to believe in anymore and feel lost. I really am in a crisis and the flood gates have opened. I can't se any hope.
