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 😞

Hi

Where would be the best place for me to do an introduction thread? More than happy to share my story.

Hi there @Former-Member 😊 Just passing through and wanted to let you know I'm thinking of you. 💕

I see that your old home town area has been blanketed in snow today. Aren't you glad you moved? ⛄🏂❄☃🏔⛷ I hope sunny QLD is more to your liking.

I hope you are doing okay my friend.

Hi also to @Zed1 ... I hope your weekend is treating you kindly.

Re: why can't I cope longer?

Thanks @Emelia - haha, yes, well, the snowy wonderland is beautiful but I don't miss the icy cold weather... prefer it to sweltering summers, at least the winter electricity bills will be less here. The cold blast has hit us here today, the wind chill about 5° which you'll be getting too I think. You're in the New England region aren't you? Lovely up in the mountains.
Hope you have been kind to yourself this day. And it's not just the day, I find the weeks leading up to it hard, then it just stops, like birth pains. Just gotta get through. Have some chocolate tonight. I tried out cherry-mouse-Chili-chocate from Aldi today 😋yum

hey @Former-Member are you ok?
you removed the content of your other post so wanted to see if you were ok

Re: why can't I cope longer?

No we were a fair bit warmer than that where I am @Former-Member . Got to a top of 15C today. But awful strong and gusty wind. Yes you are correct, I am in the Hunter New England Region. Snow in the mountains to our West, so the wind was cold.

Ohh yummy, I think I would like that Aldi chocolate you mentioned .. Cherry mousse chilli. Nice. 🍫

Hi @oitlsnder, didn't remove anything, that's what comes up when I try post pictures, which doesn't work, and nobody will fix the problem. Also can't edit
I tried to post images on several threads today, none of them worked. All blank which you pointed out. Not my doing but the website
