@Former-Member You have so much going on in your life right now, is there something very small you could do for you? Do you like music? I have a song I play over and over its by a lady called Twila Paris, the song is called. Sing me a lullaby...you can tune in on iTunes if your are up it. Sending you warm wishes.

You are such lovely people @Maggie@Faith-and-Hope@Zoe7@oceangirl

You all deserve the best.

I am still shaken and depressed. To top it off I had a bad fall on Saturday night - so am very badly bruised from the left side of my neck right down to my hip. When it rains it pours lol.

I don't know how I am going to do it but I am going to front up to my volunteer work tomorrow and Thursday. I am very nervous co workers will see there is something very wrong and that I will lose it. When I am this bad it's near impossible to hide. Please wish me luck. I will need the moral support. I. Red more strength. I am currently feeling very weak - but I don't want to let anyone down, or myself down.

I am also in a legal battle and have to see my solicitor on Wednesday morning (it's around the corner from where I volunteer which worked on well), but I truly don't have the strength for this as I am so unwell. But my spirit drives me on for justice here. It's unrelenting and won't let me give in. But the pressure is terrible. I just feel like going to sleep forever. I am so tired from stress.

My daughter has come home and is stranger than ever. She has lost her car and has people chasing her for money everywhere. We have tried to help her best we can to do the right thing. She is obviously mentally unbalanced (out of reality) and there's not a thing we can do or no one will help or sympathise with her. She could go to jail. I feel so helpless to the point I have forgotten how to feel natural and how to live. I am numb and empty.

Hello  @Former-Member @Faith-and-Hope

so hard when we want to help our children, take their pain away, but we are unable to make it better.

i am at my wits end with my son.his demands and abusive threatening Skype messages are so intimidating to read, emotional blackmail.

i understand totally your questions of why and feelings of hopelessness.

i too feel numb and just can't take anymore now. My own health is again at risk. I am also in another country miles away from home.

 I want to let you know that I too feel the pain.

I a m wide awake again. Another night of no sleep at all.

take care xxxxx

@Former-Member Just one small step at a time, just one. Thinking of you, sending warm wishes.

The support and friendship here has been amazing. It really is making a difference knowing I am not alone in this. Thank you @Maggie@Former-Member@oceangirl@Former-Member@Faith-and-Hope@Zoe7. 

@Former-Member I understand how this never ending nightmare we find ourselves in effects physical health as well. This is particularly making it so much harder to fight mentally. I am hoping in some small way that throwing myself into some volunteer work may actually help me. Time will tell, although it's the last thing I feel like doing. I am trying to look for some good to keep me going each day. I have certainly found that good in spades here from all you beautiful people.. Somehow we will get through this together and with the help of the wonderful people on this forum.

Being in a foreign country would be adding to your stress I could imagine. It's so important to sleep - do you have anything to help you with this? It's vital for me. My daughter needs to go into one of those housing communities for the mentally ill where they are supported with medication and counselIed. Have you heard of these set ups @Former-Member? Has it been an option for your son in the past? Illegal Drugs and the people pedalling it to her has been a huge contributor to my daughter demise. They won't get away with it lawfully. They are destroying too many lives. I am thinking of you @Former-Member and with you in spirit.

Thank you everyone for being there and for being my light which is very dim presently. Thank you for offering me sweet hope. Love you all xx
