Something’s not right

why can't I cope longer?

why can't I cope longer?

Something's not right alright... Not sure why I'm falling to pieces atm and short of listening ears. Hope someone here can put up with me.

I'm walking in circles at home... well, not literally, just can't seem to stay focused or finish anything... if I can even remember what it is I got out of the chair to do half the time...

And snappy with people, everywhere, rude even (which is so out of character for me), the slightest hint of being 'had' or criticised or misunderstood... oh boy, I just can't keep it in atm. The internal pressure cooker wants to explode & I don't know how to stop it.

I'm at the crossroads in life, moving and deciding if to bother starting again, or just quit on life / die.

And what's scary about that lately, is the thought of it doesn't make me scared anymore - like its just what I'm supposed to do. Do you think God would factor in a premature departure (suicide / depression?) like he accepts other illnesses that separate spirit & body?

Its just those kinds of dark thoughts, but not like crisis level or that, just trying to find my way, or other alternatives, something to look fwd to.... to keep me here. I can't see a future worth living & don't feel the internal resources keep fighting.

Don't tell me to run off & get antidepressants... I'm on them. Or psychotherapy - that's in progress... I think maybe I just want to be heard. Not changedchanged (disapproved of)... just cared about... Is that too much to ask from life? Oh I know God loves me and all that, but I still live on earth...

Do you know what I'm trying to say?Does anyone ever feel this way? I just feel so totally spent - the end of the line... ... ...

My two church supports are away at the moment, not that I lean on them heavy, I'm just conscious there gone...

Ha! Horrible feeling like the only close people in ya life need to take a holiday away from you, well, maybe some of the others I notice they have to deal with more, none the less - feeling abandoned 😞

@Former-Member ... just thought I would share the link to the Wellbeing Week thread that ran last week. I posted some pictures of my place on a few pages ... including fish pond, bird aviary, back yard view, Holly, etc ... see page 2, page 3 and page 6. But you may enjoy having a browse through the whole thread as there is lots of nice pictures there.

Here is the link

Hi there @Former-Member ... been thinking of you today, and hoping you're okay.

Also wondering if you have heard anything back regarding your ultrasound?

Will check back in with you later ... just a quick one for now. Need to get some dinner happening.

Re: why can't I cope longer?

Hi @Former-Member thanks so much for checking in, for remembering my issues: won't get Liver scan results 'till apt next week. Trying not to worry.

Have some other big news though... Today i got accepted for the unit I applied for in Qld - closer to my son near Brisbane. Have to give 3/52 notice tomorrow and pay bond... Got all anxious / excited now (shaking on the inside), dont think I'll sleep tonight... Yikes! where am i gonna get energy to pack etc. Guess I'll just HAVE to, somehow ... gonna be so busy next few weeks... sigh.

Re: why can't I cope longer?

Oh really @Former-Member 💗 Thats great news about the unit 👍 I think?

What a busy three weeks you have ahead of you. But it will be worth it, and Im feeling very excited for you. Have you broken the news to your son yet? Will the closed borders into QLD pose any problems for you? I hope you managed some sleep. Busy busy busy from now on. Happy for you. 😀💖

Support callout @Faith-and-Hope @Appleblossom @Adge @Former-Member @Appleblossom @ @Sans911 @Bunniekins @outlander @Former-Member @and anyone able. I'm stuck! Got the RTA form done (Residential Tenancy Agreement) uploaded it to email... but just CAN'T SEND IT... but its Gotta be in by midnight or they'll give unit to someone else 😟. Don't know if I can do it alone... I'm so unfit / slow (dying here) and back issues... not to mention lack of focus... What should I do? Go or stay? I'm gonna try brainstorm why... Pros & cons etc. Once I sign it's locked in... Am I ready? Don't know if I can do it. Any suggestions? Should I just keep doing nothing. I was excited, now freaking out 🤪

Re: why can't I cope longer?

What do you mean @Adge ? How are you doing today?

In response to: Re: why can't I cope longer?

Re: why can't I cope longer?

Okay @Former-Member ... if you send it, can you later back out of agreement if necessary?

If you dont send it ... you have lost it, and you have no options .. that opportunity is lost.

I know this is a really big decision to make ... and none of us can tell you what to do about it.

The way I see it is that to do nothing .. you cut off your options. To send it ... you keep your options open.

Whats the most you could lose .. a deposit or bond if you later change your mind?

Keep doing your brainstorming ... the pros and cons only you know.
