Dad had a stroke & I'm falling apart

[DumDum32]

My dad is my everything. I can't imagine my life without out except now I'm forced to think that way & I can't do it.

My beautiful dad had a stroke today & is currently lying in a hospital bed being monitored every 30 mins. I have severe MH Issues & I can't cope with it all! I feel sick even writing this as the voices in my head r calling me a selfish bitch. Which I must b to write this thread whilst dad is really the one who needs the prayers & help!!!!!

Just kill me now....

You are definitely NOT being selfish. You are just very scared and upset about your beloved dad which is a natural reaction for anyone in the circumstances.

kind thoughts for you both.

I'd fall apart too, DumDum32, and I don't have a MH condition. Sometimes, mental health doesn't come into it. He's your lovely dad and you don't want him to struggle.

I hope that you'll be encouraged by his progress over the next few hours. Try to sleep.

Thank u for all ur kind words.

I do think I'm still in shock :'( I've not stopped crying since.....

Dad is on the mend :) long way to go but so happy to see him progress! Have somehow kept myself together but it's been tough....

Not self harmed either or shown signs of it, really proud of myself for that. Have kept up with my mess too surprisingly.

Wasn't eating but have got my appetite back now too!

Hi, great he is getting good care and is on the mend. It is hard when close family members are ill.

Thanks hoophopes :)

Up at stupid hour..... Voices playing havoc & hallucinations getting worse.... Arghhhhh I just wanna sleep
