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 Hey Sweety take a deep breath. Make a cup of tea or hot chocolate. Then have a look at sending it again. Do you really want to move. As you say write a list of the pros and cons of moving. If you decide to move you are a very capable woman of course you can do this. Love peaxxx

Hi @Former-Member I was just responding to your saying that you did not feel comfortable - being Tagged onto Long Rave thread.

That's all.

I was just wanting to tell you & people about my Date today.

It took far too much out of me (exhausted).

I'm sorry to hear that Tenancy Contract has been difficult (stressful).

I was just told that I need to have a Legal Document Witnessed - Regarding my Employment Termination.

My Union has tried to negotiate a better Payout (payment) for Union Members.\

I am stressed & surprised by that.

@Former-Member you are a smart lady. I know you can do this :). Moving to Qld will be a great adventure and being close to your son will be good for you. In saying all that though only you can decide I cannot do it for you BUT I will be there with you to support you all the way whatever your decision is.

Re: why can't I cope longer?

I believe you are a very capable woman too @Former-Member ..... you have acne Rd somuxh just in the last few years that I have known you. You were an absolute trooper for your mum and dad under really difficult conditions, and you persevere with your son through his difficult communications. You sold a house and moved ..... bought and sold a car ..... they are things I can't imagine doing by myself (yet) but you're example is inspiring.

Liked all the responses to your panic post.

Its natural to panic when so much is riding on things.

Love you could eventually laugh and posted the squirrel meme.

Go YOU Lady.

See we can see you better even than you may see yourself, in the sense that your strengths and acievements do ring out loud and clear.

I am not sure what will happen with this particular contract etc etc.

Yes Keep brainstorming and TRUST your process.

You no longer have to do it all for everybody else.

You have already DONE ENOUGH.

Today I went to new supermarket to buy the food part of a Monster Care Package for my son. There was a car park nice and handy labelled "Seniors" and now I have a senior card so it was all good. This is a new stage of life you will be entering. Moving house does get harder as we age, but you are thorough.

@ Sherry, I guess I could back out of agreement later if necessary? But I'll probably lose bond.
@ greenpea, Do I really want to move? thats the trouble, half of me does, half of me doesn't :face_with_rolling_eyes: I'm just happy to stay in bed warm and just sleep my lifevaay... All this fuss seams pointless. But I appreciate you standing here with me. Need a few props atm.
@ Adge, yeah, couple years back I got attacked on that thread and told I wasn't welcome there. Think they got me mixed up with someone else, idk, but yeah. Really glad to hear union fighting for your best interest with unfair dismissal. Hopeing they can do something good for you. And what's this about dating?! You're very brave... I could never, yikes!
@ Faith-and-Hope, wow, when you list my achievements.... I forget... 💞
Arr @ Appleblossom@, it's true, and I'm so pleased you see my good traits...
"See, we can see you better even than you may see yourself, in the sense that your strengths and acievements do ring out loud and clear"
So good to hear guys THANKS 💞

Ive never seen 'seniors parking :face_with_rolling_eyes: before, how sad... but good. Haha, I refused to get old lol

Well, its 0001hrs and I haven't heard back re my RTA... so hope he mucgot soiyyyh trouble emailing, files too big or something. Text attachments seemed to work... but if he's gonna be that picky, I'll be glad to let it go.
Not giving bond ,'till he says forms all good. I'm tired, took me all day.
Need to be closer to my boy, ppl are what make me feel I belong, ppl who value me that is, idk, probably just running away from myself again. .

Hope paperwork is all fine.

I am up for a little while, but will try and sleep again soon.

Yes it was the first time I had seen senior parking spots marked. It was new shopping centre and its fairly handy. I dont mind walking in car park, but I had a lot to lug around for son so it was nice. I did not feel old, I felt fine turning into it.

Big change is scary. Course it is. You are up for challenges tho.

Getting the distance right with family ... long sigh ... yet ... its good when it happens. I had all the right bags to use for my monster package. 2 small plastic ones for mumcookedfoodin containers and gloves. 5 linen ones to put shopping in. Huge bumpers thro in pillow, sleeping linen, clean wash, and all the rest. Zip it up and pop it outside in front yard. Not too close to front door cos he did not want me getting COvid cos he is in a Hi Covid are.

All you can do is luv em.
