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?

Hey @Adge, nice to see you. Love the pic 😁👍 My dad (currently critical in hospital) was the loudest driver re abusing other drivers on the road... quite over the top actually. One of my last trips driving my parents using GPS, dad even yelled at me to "chuck the bloody thing out the window!" 😯:face_with_rolling_eyes:🤐 I tend to bite my tongue more these days, if i don't - the Holy Spirit sure convicts me to correct my attitude / cleanse my heart grr. Maxine is funny. Thanks Adge 💙

Re: why can't I cope longer?

Only problem in my scan was "marked pancreatic fatty infiltration" This explains a lot of the abdo pains. Gotta lose weight stat!
Had a cry yesterday when I rang to talk to dad in hospital and the nurse said "he's being fed ATM but he's too weak to hold the phone to talk anyway" 😟☹️😞😢 (this last 6months months he's stopped walking, stopped talking, stopped eating...) I wanna sit with him but refuse to put myself back in harm's way with abusive family, especially when dad's dementia doesn't even recognise me and feeling so enraged with his nursing home management. I'm seriously floored , can't handle toxic crap around me anymore, and I gotta stop beating myself up for putting my own welfare first. Really struggle with this. Am I just being lazy like them... Really hoped to have a family when I went back to help 😢 Now I know why our grandparents never talk about life's problems to kidz - many more would self terminate

I'm so sorry about your Dad's worsening situation.

No you are certainly Not Lazy.

So Sad.

If you feel up to it - You might Read my Worry Room Post.

About my 1st week in this New Aged Care Job - My financial $$ Income Situation has taken a Massive Tail-Dive (Hit).

It will financially Ruin me very Quickly - because of the massive Costs (to me) not paid for by Work.
