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?

When I was in hospital, last breakdown 2011 I asked "but what's gonna happen with me" male nurse said "when you get sick of being like this you'll change it" Not sure if he knew I just lost my 13yr old (how does one change that?) What's the point clawing ya way out when ya just keep falling back in. I'm so tired 😭

I'd love to go back and save all the support I got when I first joined Saneforums as Tawney, But they blocked access to it. Can you believe in so disgusting even my story had to be deleted here, it's all lies all this notion of their support. "Peer support" maybe, when it's not too much

Just stick with us here that know you, accept you and love you @Former-Member

That nurse way back when was stepping over the line. Some people think they know best when they do not know anything at all. I know this is very different but I had a nurse in hospital last week that said I needed to see my GP about a few things - no shit Sherlock - found that out in hospital but he had no right to continue to push the points. I tried not to judge him as he had no idea about me I was glad when he went off shift. Had him 2 days in a row though and that made me very anxious on top of everything else.

Anytime you need support Hon tag me - I have known you for a very long time and know your story well so more than happy to sit with you when I can

Re: why can't I cope longer?

You got upset because a nurse told you you needed to "see your GP about a few things" ?? Maybe it's more the attitudes behind the comment that triggers us. <br>While pumping my stumach in A+E way back in 1986 the nurse whispered to me "people like you waste our time, don it properly next time!" And this was my first ever A&EOD <br>You've got angry with me before so... safe?<br>Did you know me as Tawney?<br>

Re: why can't I cope longer?

Hey @Former-Member and @Zoe7 , I’m reading that there may be some tension building here. I can see that you're both super passionate, resilient and caring individuals, however the nature of online communication sometimes makes it harder to pick up the intended tones without clear social and verbal cues, and attitudes or intentions can be easily misinterpretated. If it’s all okay – don’t mind me but if things are becoming heated, and support is needed, please do not hesitate to email us or check out our resources of conflict and self care - https://saneforums.org/t5/About-the-forum-including/Forum-Guides/m-p/105963#M103

With the upmost care and gratitude,

Otter

There's no tension here today @Otter thanks, you've misunderstood (I was referring to my current vulnerability based on a past event a very long time ago, doesn't apply to now for anyone else, just .. doesn't matter) - @Zoe7 has been fabulous 💕

Re: why can't I cope longer?

I knew you as Tawney @Former-Member 💖

It sounds as though things are becoming very overwhelming for you right now. Im quite concerned about you, with lots of distressing thoughts and memories coming up for you.

Has anything happened to cause this today ... anniversary, incident?

Im just making a cuppa for myself, and got my little dog Holly by my side. Would you and Georgia care to join me? We can talk .. or not .. either is okay.

I care about you @Former-Member and want you to be safe.
