Goodnight Cruel World

A page in the diary "The Days Of My Life"

I am so confused right now I dont know what to do. I feel rejected or abandoned wherever I turn. Who I am is just not good enough. The pain I feel is so intense I don't know where to turn. All I know is I need help and I need it now.

I told my husband that I think I need to go into hospital and he said that if I know I am feeling like that then I don't need to.

How does someone tell you they love you and turn you away?

I am a total failure and I can't even begin to describe how much I hate myself right now. I was the result of an affair and given up for adoption and the only place in my life that I felt wanted was in the arms of my uncle who sexually abused me. Even then I wasn't wanted I was just a means to an end.

There is no one I can call. My psychiatrist is away on holidays and so is my psychologist. Even if there was someone I could call I would say the wrong thing anyway. My life is screwed, my head hurts, all hope has gone and I am so tired.

Goodnight cruel world

Sweety your not a failure, we all feel that way from time to time. If your husband cant support you when your in need then perhaps he doesnt understand try exlain more to him. People often have trouble understanding things they've never experienced. Particularly men are most critical ive found. If you really feel like u need to go to hospital then go. Do whatever u need to to help yourself.

Hope u feel better soon. The fact that your actively looking for help shows your not a failure for your not just giving up & your trying to better yourself. That makes u a winner.

Call lifeline or the cat team and have a long chat to them. If they can't help you, make an appointment with your gp since your support network are still on holidays.

As for hubby, I don't know what to say except he doesn't get it. If you need to go to hospital, go. You are wanting to get better and that is the important thing.

Go Lifesucks!!!

Life...
Go to the hospital ... tell them how you are feeling... see if you can talk to a psych nurse or registrar psych...

The feelings of failure can overwhelm you and having no one who understands how it is affecting you can be devastating... I am not sure how your husband can act as he does... maybe he is scared and afraid to show it... but the point is you... childhood sexual abuse is traumatising and flashbacks can open the wound again... you are very much in need of some help right now... go to the hospital explain your psychs are away and you are going through a crisis... I did because I was in a similiar situation and my hospital supported me...

Do not harm yourself... get help... and talk to someone soon.
