Really struggling mentally atm, just needed to write it down somewhere. This really takes over every waking (well actually even when asleep) moment doesn't it. I hate it so much and wish I could rewind or fast forward time, or just stop. I hope everyone is doing as well as they can be.

No advice but wanted to say I'm completely with you, I agree I wish it would all just stop, or go back, or forward to when I've got answers. I can't cope with being in limbo the not knowing is just torture. You aren't alone and I really wish I could take away peoples suffering it is just so cruel x

Hi both,

Sending a hug x

It's the most debilitating situation I have ever been through, I'm sorry we are all going through this and I send you strength. Your right, it has been my every thought since July and I'm tired like I know you'd be too. I wish I could make it all go away, none of us deserve this pain.

Hugs xx

It's a paralysing position to be in , impossible to know how it feels unless you've been in this situation. This was my way of life for over 3.5 yrs and starting to see the light again. One day you will reflect back and wonder how you ever made it through - that day will come , try and be strong and know you are not alone xx

it really is the most consuming. The fact so many of us scroll these posts at such early hours speaks volumes.

our knock was Dec so coming up a year, in that time I've had a baby and am having a keep in touch shift at work at 10am. often find myself waking in the early hours (well all night due to my baby too) scrolling, thinking ill read something that resonates and helps settle everything that feels so wrong.

I'm so in awe of how many of you manage to move on and forgive, I'm really struggling with that right now.

I got the knock on Wednesday, 21 year old daughter home from uni opened the door.
Husband arrested at work. 18 year old son at uni.
I am still in shock.
I have lurked on this site for a few days but just wanted to acknowledge how helpful (even though the situation is awful) the advice and comments have been to me

I don't feel so alone.
