Crying
 

Im upset, I got some bad news today.

I want to harm more than ever, its the only way I know how to cope.

*hugs Jade* Hey hun, do you want to talk about it? You've been so strong, you can beat this.

*cuddles*
We are here for you if you want/need to talk.

Here for you hun
*hugs*

Thank you for all your support, I really need it right now.

So sorry

Don't be sorry! If you want to tell us why you are so upset, feel free but I am here to hug or just be here anyway.

I cant really say what the bad news was today, Im sorry. < I wish I could >

Ive just had a row with my teenage daughter because I am loosing contact with her and she just wants to be with friends.

I understand there there should be friends but I feel that all I am wanted for is for money or anything else. Im not a bank, I want to be treated like a person.

In the end we have made up and she said she will spend some time with me tomorrow. I need to get to know her, she seems so distant.

It doesnt help having this mental illness and paranoia. I hate myself, I was fine before I had my children, then I had a breakdown and the cracks started to appear and they have got wider and wider.

My husband < and their dad > backed me up saying it does seem that way sometimes, so at least I wasnt totally out of order.

Now I feel guilty for speaking out and I just want to harm. Hubby wont let me, but I must do it because how else do I cope. ??????

Hey honey,

I'm sorry to hear that you are having trouble at home. You know how to contact me if you ever need to talk. I'm always here for you babe. Raising teenagers is undoubtably one of the hardest times for any parent and to be doing that with a mental illness is extremely difficult. You are so awesome for everything you have achieved in your life. I really respect you and eveything you have done. You are a dear dear friend and I love you so much. Please don't harm yourself, can you distract yourself somehow? What about the visitor you have this weekend? You could try flicking your wrist with an elastic band, it's a good substitute for SI and is a hell of a lot safer. Please don't hate yourself either......you're one of the most wonderful people I have ever known and I know Romp will agree with me.

*Big hugs Jade*

Love Nathan

I understand. Im a mum to two teenagers and it is so hard, especially when also confronted with mental illness too. I dont know about your daughter, but mine like to push the boundaries as far as they can and being with their friends is far more 'cool' than being with their parents. But I guess, it doesnt mean that they love us any less, although it can feel that way.

How did your time with your daughter go today? Hope the situation has eased and things are better between you both now.

Please take care xx

How are you doing today Jade?

Hey jade
Just wanted to leave you some HUGs and I'm sorry things are hard for you right now
Hope you had a nice time with your daughter
Stay safe hunny xxx

Thanks for all the support, it means the world to me.

Im totally at my wits end. Its hard having this illness with the paranoia. I over worry about them at the best of time.

Why do assume you have gone wrong? Can it not just be that your daughter is testing boundaries like all teenagers?

I don't have much in the way of advice as I don't have children of my own but I am reading and thinking of you.

*hugs*

Thats a good way to look at it No Reason. Thanks you for thinking of me.

I hope you are doing better.

Love Jade xxx

Please don't second guess yourself hun. Kids need disciplining sometimes and that has nothing to do with being paranoid.

Love you heaps Jadie xoxo

Hi Jade

Glad youre feeling a bit brighter today.
Sending some hugs your way xx

Glad you are feeling a bit brighter today.
I guess sometimes the paranoia can make things seems worse, does for me anyway. But at least you can see it for what it is and hopefully recognize when that's what is making things worse.
Thinking of you and sending more *huggles* xxx
