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 😞

Good to see you today @Former-Member . And yes ... spring is not far away now. Something to look forward to.

Ha ha little Georgia sounds just like my Abbie. They dont seem to realise their size, and will take on anything. And if any dog intrudes on her turf, she struts around with hackles up and pacing around to watch for them in case they turn up again. Much too busy to eat their breakky! They are funny arent they?

Oh thats good news then @Former-Member ... so glad you have met your new GP and that she seems lovely, thorough and motivated to do all the right things for you.

Looks like I have to get myself a rosemary plant then, because I currently do not have one. Oh yes, the gingerbread cake was yummy. Slathered in proper butter of course! And the nice hot pot of tea was particularly nice too because I imagined I had you and @Faith-and-Hope sitting here on the deck with me in the warm sunshine.

Catch you again soon.

Oh year thanks @Emilia8, got excited because the site let me post a picture on F&A thread to help Zoe last night, so I visited my other fav threads but 😞 disabled again. Really sad cause images speak 1000 words and triggers bullying memories... ptsd. The images just don't upload. How are you going?

New profile pic, for now = Just reminder I'm human and have a face and feelings... but also the overwhelm with all that's going on?

Hi @Former-Member .. good to see you again. 👍💖

Oh yes ... you are definitely human, and you have very real and highly valid feelings. Although I cannot see your face due to anonymity rules ... I sense your good heart and kindness. I'm sorry you are feeling overwhelmed with all thats going on for you right now.

Kindest thoughts EOR.
