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 😞

Re: why can't I cope longer?

I do get it enough @Appleblossom

What did you get up to today?

I packed three boxes. Split the loungeroom in two - Charity + Removalist.

I dither a lot, and need to rest a lot, but it's also empowering to organise our stuff. I'll leave clothes 'till lasts, that's where I come undone.

Re: why can't I cope longer?

The DHS stuff was only with oldest girl, then they wiped hands of us, and left me holding baby. I had a few sticky issues to deal with night and day for years, and it destroyed my health and neck and by the time my son came along I was ga ga. Not Lady Ga Ga either. She is 7 years older than him. I hear from her mother. Finally getting it and saying "thank you" on my message bank. Better than nothing. ??

Today trying to sort videolink with my son, but seems I will have to get a mobile. Broadband in my area simply not good.

Preparing for soc distanced music action and big drive tmrw, petrol etc.

So you are getting on with the move. @Former-Member Always lots of work. There are a lot of good reasons though.

Dear @Former-Member ,

moving, it is nearly two years since I last moved, it was horrendous, but that due to a lot of things, not just the physical moving. I do feel for you, but once it is done you can settle and be future focussed.

Perhaps you are even moved by now.

i hope all is ok
