Feel like I'm reaching the end

Posted , 5 users are following.

I'm sat here with tears rolling down my face again and have been like this everyday for 3 months. My relationship was ended by my girlfriend and I still can't really understand why and I can't get over it. I am 47 years old and I know now what heartbreak is. Then a few weeks ago my beloved dog became ill and I had to make the sad decision to have him put to sleep . I have another dog and am praying that he remains well as I truly believe that I will end it all if he leaves me too. I already know how this would happen , I see no future for me , just sadness , I want the pain to go away ...if only it was a bad dream. The few friends i have tell me I look thin , I wake at 4.30 every morning and haven't spoken to anyone about this. I can still smile and joke as I go about my daily business and people would just naturally assume that I am fine but I race to get home as the tears are desperate to escape ....does anyone understand ?

    Thank you Julie

    I transformed from the luckiest happiest man in the world to the saddest in the space of a two minute phone call. I have lost 2 out of the 3 things that I loved in the whole world , i'm worried for myself. Already thinking xmas day might just be the worst day and just too unbearable. I don't think I will be missed if I wasn't here.

    Thank you Jason

    I have finally made a gp appointment as I feel like I getting worse and am going to have a major meltdown soon and then who knows. Can't get to see him until 10th november...seems like a long time away. At my age it just all seems pointless  as all I can see in my future is unhappiness , why me ?

    Sorry i've just deleted a long message , too many details..

      Dont worry about the long message only post it if you feel comfortable doing so that is a long time to see your gp believe me the sooner you get to do it the better you will feel I felt I turned a corner by going and hopefully I am on the right path and I can get back to work as I am on the sick at the moment and the thought of going back fills me with such anxiety I feel I may need more time to get myself right but I know there is no quick fix my friend says I have to get myself right first and he is someone I work with but has kinda been through it himself so I know he understands

    I am self employed and work by myself. Some days I don't speak to anyone at all. That is where I miss her , even if we didn't see each other we would speak and text everyday , now I am here every night lonely , bored and tearful. I live in a very quiet place shut away from everyone. I avoid discussions with people about my troubles as I just feel like bursting into tears , even typing on here is hard for me.

    Sorry to hear you are experiencing similar.

      Yeah I cried myself to sleep most nights in the beginning the thing is I work with my ex and it has made it so hard and difficult to get past it then she kind hit me again telling me she was pregnant by a guy she moved in with shortly after we broke up and said I had done things I hadn't she had apparently been told of people we knew I just felt like I had been stabbed in the back and I just couldn't cope after that this all in the space of 4 month but I am hopefully getting myself back and moving forward

    Hi Shaun, yes i understand, relationship break ups are never easy and it takes time to get through this. Lonliness is not good either. You have managed to come to this forum and that's a start. We are supportitive here. Sorry you have to wait so long to see a GP, when you do tell them how you are feeling. Counselling maybe the way forward and medication to help while you wait for this. I have been in these situations and suicidal thou mainly when i was younger and i am still here and life can get better. Nobody will judge you here and we will try to help.

    Thank you both for your replies

    That's really tough Jason , I am sorry. My situation is not dissimilar although no pregnancy involved. She is with someone new though which started without so much of a pause after me. I have seen pictures of them together online and they look so happy which hurts even more so I have stopped looking but the images are burned into me now unfortunately. Losing my dog has been really hard too but the heartbreak is worse.I always thought he would be buried in her lovely garden next to hers but instead his ashes are in a little box in front of me.

    Weekends are worse. I drive around the countryside aimlessly . Am scared that one day I will just pull over somewhere and go to sleep. I am sorry to go on , i don't even feel worthy of sharing my story on here to be honest.

    Home from work and staring at the walls dreading the next two days.

    Have already cried buckets this evening , really not sure I can take much more.

    I feel like I'm never going to come out of this and that my dark thoughts are deepening. I'm still keeping up the happy (ish) persona in my daily life but am worried that I am going to have some sort of public meltdown and be carted away.

    Has anyone else felt like this ?

      Yes mate I know how you feel and I do believe that you can overcome this message me anytime if you just need to talk people on here are always willing to listen

    My mind feels really messed up at the moment.

    I nearly crashed my car today , was so close and the other driver got out and really had a go at me. It was my fault. Trouble is it didn't bother me too much at all when it really should have.

    Have been sat here for over an hour just thinking about turning the light on , have I shut down ?

  • Posted

    No mate you havent shut down just know that help is out there put the light on make a cuppa tidy just pick something and do it i cleaned my fish tank out yesterday just because i didnt want to i just had to do something different anything to stop me playing on my xbox all day lol and i am ghetting drunk today with my mate so should be fun to start then ill want to crash and feel sorry for myself then back to saying no more im having fun again sounds like you need to let it all out if i knew you mate i would sit with you and listen then not say a dam thing about it and let you come up with ideas yourself on how you think you can overcome this because i know you want to we all do i want to get over mine i truly do and ill do anything to do it

    Sorry just deleted loads of stuff again. Am worried about appearing selfish and self centred when there are more deseving people out there for sympathy.

      That's were your wrong mate yes people deserve sympathy and so do you never think your hurt and pain is any less than anyone elses it is unique to you and you alone no one can go through it for you so take it when it is given trust me
