Running Out Of Strength To Fight Against It.

I wish people could see the will power it is taking not to do something right now. The only thing stopping me from doing it before my planned date is that I have spent my whole life trying to be the opposite of my mother. Of course if I ever do commit suicide I will do it different than her.

I just need something to hang on to right now, just one positive memory. I am still waiting for my first happy memory. One bad thing after another keeps happening and expensive disasters keep happening so now I can't even drive to the store because I don't have the gas until I get my disability check on the 3rd.

I feel like I am desperately searching for a reason to stay alive and can't find one. I need someone to talk to but I can't afford the transportation or co-pay for a therapist. I tried to talk to my husband about my grandfather (don't tell him I called him that even though he is in my heart) dying. It hurts so much.

I spent my whole life wanting him to love me. Just like my mom. It is just the fact that like he has always said, "I am not family, I am not your blood." He is just the man who saved me from my parents home when I was five and was married to my grandmother once. They divorced and I was no longer his problem. But I loved him, I thought the world of him. I told him I thought of him like a father and he told me "well I am not your father so stop that."

When I was little, people said I looked like him. I would always feel so proud. I always hoped there was some kind of mix up or family secret and that he really was either my dad or grandfather. I tried to be just like him.

Sorry I didn't mean to talk so much about him I just so overwhelmed with too many feeling, between my husband and this and a whole ton of other things, making it just too much.
 
@Fadeaway , the struggles that you speak about in day to day life I experience as well. The feelings of utter abandonment and never having been loved even as a fetus in the womb messed with my head so much. My shaman would try to have me consider that there was a 'universal' love that all have. I just didn't buy it. There were days - and nights - boy oh boy.....

I wonder if you could consider even if just for a moment that although you are overwhelmed with horrifying memories and images of yourself and others that there will come a time that they will pass? I know that may seem incomprehensible right now as it did for me - no resources, wanting to crawl out of my skin, wishing I would just disappear - you know the feelings. But then came the better times. The times the bad faded enough that the good that was hiding so well started to come.

Just a check....

Your disability check is too high to qualify for co-insurance? That is, co-insurance for your medicare? Ok, a number of assumptions there....
 
@shimmerz Thank you for the understanding, I really needed that tonight.

@Solara This is an error that resulted when I moved to a different state two months ago. It has been a game of phone tag and being told "you need to talk to someone else" and because of something I was supposed to do that I didn't do in time due to avoiding checking the mail due to anxiety. As a result my medicare is all screwed up right now. Partially my fault and partially due to computers messing up due to my move.
