What do you do on really bad days?

I’m having a bad day. I think of killing myself but cannot I tell myself because of what it would do To my dcs. I really just want to not exist but it’s not an option. So how do you cope? I need to make some calls, appointments etc but can’t bear to talk to anyone. Do you just hold on for tomorrow or try and push yourself forward? I went for a walk into the countryside with the dog this morning but it didn’t help at all. I’d be so grateful of some help from those who knows how this feels. Thanks

Accept it and tell yourself that feeling overwhelmed and like you’re drowning is ok. It’s a feeling and you let it wash over you. It’s as optional as a headache, but like a headache with a sleep, water and strength it will pass.
Just reaffirm that it is ok to feel like this and it will pass. It’s hard and all consuming sometimes but be kind to yourself.
Whatever you’re doing right now is exactly what you need to be doing.

Hope you find your smile soon. Emotions are not destinations, they are just parts of the journey Xx
