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 😞

Thanks @Faith-and-Hope, and @Zoe7 - appreciate your backup. Its hard to rise above it all. I'll go talk with my solicitor, she can deal with them all to look after my interests. Bit of a pain though. Poor dad 💛

Re: why can't I cope longer?

Just found out today my uncle died, mums oldest brother. We weren't close but feeling for those who were, the aunts & wife.
Hope my boys dad doesn't die with his heart surgery tomorrow (he is 80 with underlying health issues). Have so many mixed feelings about this man. Most important not allowed to voice. It was this man who taught me that humans CAN experience intense love and intense hate at the same time. Stretched me to extreme in both directions. He has is 1st daughter and youngest son and a girlfriend fussing over him. Go figure.

Re: why can't I cope longer?

Was wrapping gifts & charity box for my Sydney church when Syncopy, palpitations and shakes came on me 😢 and tears. I'm so sick of it. Is emotional I'm sure, some kinda PTSD thing, probably didn't help that I packed dad's Christmas presents to give away 😢 I've had to lay down under the aircon. Furbaby is demanding and wanting to cuddle but she's too hot and I feel nausias, have to push her off which she doesn't understand 😭 why is Christmas so hard?

Re: why can't I cope longer?

Thats really hard @Former-Member ... so sorry. 💔😔

Grief and loss will continue to come out, sometimes unexpectedly. But almost certainly when doing things like giving away your Dads proposed xmas gifts.

You know about grief EOR ... you have had more profound grief than anyone should ever have to endure. You came through that, and you will come through this too.

As devastating as the loss of a parent is ... this is nature, and (unlike the loss of a child) this is the way things are meant to be. Allow yourself to properly grieve your dad, and accept it will take time.

On a nice note ... some lucky person will enjoy those gifts you got for your Dad. Take heart that you will have made someone else's day.

Holding you tight @Former-Member and feeling your heartache. 💔
