All through my life I have sought to be there for people, its always been my lifes purpose, and if I am honest one of the reasons I was brought into this World.
Have always tried to or attempted to save people or been there for them in their hour of need, always given a shoulder to cry on, basically given them everything save the shirt on my goddamn back.

This past year for me has been of many knocks and jolts some of which have seeped over from last year but still as a Survivor I plunder forth and make light of my own shortcomings.

With a number of things that have gone on I have proven I can deal with shit but slowly but surely I can feel that my armour that I have gone so long to keep around me so no one can get in has slowly but severely deterioated.

A few years back I thought about what I would do if I ever got to THAT point and then realised how I have a Flat full of things I have collected, Family Heirlooms, My Journals and stuff that wouldnt have a rightfully justified home to go to if the worst happened to me.

I just sometimes want to go to sleep just sleep like Snow White and sleep forever, I know people will say "oh you should see your doctor" or "get some counselling" or "do you have any family you can talk to" or "this" or "that" or "the ****** other" bottom line is I have allowed myself to only let people in, if they're lucky one step at a time and then like a venus flytrap if people get too close I snap myslef shut.

In 2007 through to 2008 I was living in false hope over something and then from 2008 to a few months ba k the same thing and it was nice living like that because it was all Fantasy it was all a World of make believe when my fiancee would have come back to me or my Best Friend would have not given me the cold shoulder and acted upon her intentions.

At least with that I had emails I could read again and again, but now I am catapaulted into the real world where like with Fantasy there are consequences. Theres something I already kone about myself which I have kept quiet and only told two people, I know that if I dont sort this out then it could get worse but I already know the ramifications of this and is something I fully accept and take into full consideration.

No one else can make me happy I am the only one that can do that for myself but **** that I am done. Done with trying. Maybe in time I will ookk back at what I have said and thought all through lif and realised what a fool I have been.

Lately I have been thinking this way again and this time the need is far much greater. I look at what I have done with my life, those who I have helped and I cant keep this urge stifled for much longer I dont at the age of 33 have a will written out but I do have a burial spot which has been reserved next to my Mum and at times, thats all I want is my Mum back. For her to hold me one more time and tell me everythings going to be okay that she will kiss away the hurt all I want is to be with her now no one can protect me, no one.
 
Beautiful post, it was sad to read but I really enjoyed reading what you have to say. I havent got anything to tell you because Im generally not good at helping others but I am here to listen and that I hope your pain eases with time.

:flowers:
 
dont even think about it. me, stephen and motsey are right here. you know that we are only 10 minutes away. call us. NOW.
 
Rich, what happened? Don't scared me, please let us know, we will always be here with you and as Danniilee said, just give anyone of us a call, please don't do anything to hurt yourself.

Look, thats four people within the commuter belt! we arent far, you just have to reach out to us.
 
Please please don't give up hope-let people help you. You can overcome this with help.
 
Stephen (thrillerchild) is on the phone to him. Hes going to let me know that richard is ok.
 
I'm sorry that you're feeling like this, big hugs :hug:
The experiences we go through in life, all the good times, the bad times, they can only make us stronger, it doesn't feel like that, but trust me that's what happens. Some people are not aware of how strong they can. I know that you're feeling down and feel like this is it, there's no hope, but in every indicidual there's a hero, a hero that through his most darkest hour finds the strength to carry on. I know its easy for me to say this, but you must never give up on anything. Life is one complicated piece of a puzzle, no one it meant to understand life, yet it the things that happen in life, the things we go through that shapes us.
The only problem is, to find that hidden strength within you, you have to hit rock bottom really hard, and fail a couple of times to get up, but if you keep on trying then you'll get up again and relaize that you do have strength. Its like that saying, "People are like a teabags, they don't know who strong they are until you put them in hot water"
I'm always here for you, you know where I am if you need to talk. xxxxxx
"You are not alone" xxxxxxxx :hug:
 
Rich,
I just wanted to let you know that you have many friends whom don't want to hear you speak that way. There are lots of us that do care for you including me. Please hear us out and let us know what we can do to help.You can pm me any time here in forum or on msn. You can even call me if you still have my number. I and everyone who does care about you will listen to you.
 
Just to update everyone who has been worried over this, myself and Stephen (thrillerchild) had a long phone chat with Rich (Healer) about 4 hours ago, after this thread was posted. Although very down, by the end of the conversation he was laughing and joking so I am hopeful he will be alright.

Well, yes. Thats your version of events but:

A. That was four hours ago and doesnt change things with me in the slightest.
B. I was merely acting the way that was expected of me, like I forever seem to do.

Healer, you listened to me in my hour of need, and I thank you for that. I will not tell you one way or another how you plot your journey. But the most I can do is say as little I know about you from the little time I have been here is to say there are choices in life, and those choices have consequences.

I will not tell you what to do. However, I do love you man.

Take it easy.
 
Rich. First of all I want to thank you for being a part of my tribute video to Michael. :flowers: You have been one of my favorite members on the forum, and you have helped me back in chatroom in July.
I really hope you hang in there :cry:

this is for you >> :hug:
 
Rich you should have to feel that you must put on an act cos you think its what people expect of you. That's implying that people judge you which non of us do. We're all friends who love you and putting on an act isn't the way because you're denying things to yourself. I meant EVERY WORD i said on the phone last night.
 
i agree with u stephen we need to see the real rich rich u shouldnt try to be one way with us hun ive told u that time and time again....we want to know your real feelings not what u think u want us to think u are feeling we all love u vvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvm we miss u
 
Please please please be strong Rich. :cry:
See there are so many friends that love and care about you, as you said, we are family so you are not alone, just reach out to us and let us help. Yes life is tough and I have gone through many tough times but believe me with all the L.O.V.E., care and support from people that L.O.V.E. you will help you get through it. Please always remember we all truly L.O.V.E. you very very much.
 
Rich, I know you've had an extremely hard time, what with one thing and another. I also know you to be a very sensitive and caring person. I hope that when this Support Forum transitions, either to FaceBook or the blog forum, that you will be a part of that group and continue to give and receive support. We CARE, ok?

love,

Vic
