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 have basic set ups for my laptop and phone but a very intricate set up for tv, pvrs and foxtel - I can basically record any station at any time on multiple devices lol It is funny really because I do not watch a lot of tv anymore - I always have it on - more for background sound but a lot of what I watch is through ivew or sbs on demand ...and of course sport @Adge

@Zoe7 @Adge my FurBaby came good. After leaving you last night she even ate her dinner, had a big drink, a walk outside and came up for cuddle 😊 Back to her normal self. She cuddled up close in bed all night... more affectionate that usual. Seems ok this morning too. Thanks for caring 🙏

@Adge I'd love to come visit your birds, stand in the cage and dote over the baby doves, hold one in my hand. Thank you 🐦💙🔆

#Zoe7 Love the sound of your hiTech tv setup but mostly relate to tv on for company / background noise. Lots do. Radio is good too.
💙💚🧡❤️💜

Hi @Former-Member 😊🌺🐶

Much relieved to hear that your little Georgia has recovered from whatever it was that upset her yesterday. Its a lovely day here today ... cooler night which was nice .. and warm sunny day now, expecting about 25C ... perfect. I will go and spend a bit of time in the garden I think and take little Abbie (H) for a wander as well. I suspect you'll be getting similar weather where you are too ... perhaps another walk with Georgia is in store?

Hi @Adge @Appleblossom @Shaz51 @Zoe7 and others here.

Thanks @Emelia, too hot to walk today, so SelfCareSaturday DayOfRest is where I'm at. Trying not to worry or feel guilty 😢

Re: why can't I cope longer?

Oh boy! Crying all morning. Was it something I ate yesterday? I know everyone's sick of me here but I don't have anywhere else to go to 😢 ( Isn't that pathetic 😭) oh God I hope my enemies can't see this, I don't wanna make them happy at my expense. It started with this one thought. "Nobody in my life will help me lift these heavy items to empty my storage unit" > "I can't do it by myself" > "I've hinted, hoping they'll offer, but they don't" > "they brag and sometimes whine about their taxing jobs, taking disability clients out to the movies, bowling alley, clubhouse lunch... >
No, i'm not in a good place. I'm gonna ask my GP to organise putting me down (euthanase) as
I can't do it on my own (live), be everything everyone expects, or just exist alone. I can't bring myself to 'gather' (so social phobic / ashamed)
I've lost faith in 'the system' to help me - especially MH
BOARDERLINEs done qualify for assistance.
People in aged care homes and disability clients live a better quality of life than me. This is apparently my fault.
My brain, SHUT UP! None of this matters, or does it? I donno, crying all morning, how do I stop it? A friend rang, but I couldn't tell her how I felt, especially when I realised I'd forgotten her birthday last week 😧😞 so sorry. Should have hung up then. She's tough. Blunt. Has low opinion of me...
My aunty says her last wish is to not to have a funeral service. I'm gonna do the same thing. Stupid I've been paying for one when nobody's come. Its so fake if they did... come see me while I'm alive guys!
Sorry not good today. How does one climb out of this to 'build a life' ?
Hope tomorrow's different
My life, my responsibility, my decision
Not good today
- whistles in ears again
- crying all day
Maybe triggered by kid peeking in my window yesterday, or loneliness
What to do?

Re: why can't I cope longer?

Hey gorgeous You are in a hole today @Former-Member and I am very much hearing you.

What to do? What a question. Hold on Hon - I know that is not easy or even wanted sometimes but we have been through a lot here together and I both value and care for you. That may be little consolation being on the other side of the screen and not irl but it matters to me - you matter to me.

Hugs and hugs and hugs EOR
