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 😞

That's a big day for you and Georgia even without the headache @Former-Member Did you find anything you liked to make it worth the trip?

Re: why can't I cope longer?

Yes @Zoe7, got the 'feel' of a few places I've been watching online. All so different, hidden costs worry me. One place in the hills had that sound you get when there's a blackout. I really like that peace. That would be my favourite, but think the private telegraph pole needs replacing - could be too costly. More homework needed.

Re: why can't I cope longer?

It does sound like a productive day @Former-Member I live on a pretty busy street but it is very quiet - the benefits of an older style brick house - keeps most noises out. Of course I have my little alarm next to me so any little sound he barks at - usually ones I cannot hear. The place in the hills sounds wonderful - maybe the telegraph pole won't be as much to replace as you think - worth asking around.
