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?

Thanks @Emelia8 made me cry more (in a good way), that someone s with me in this moment I guess. It probably is a grief wave. Ive included things I got my siblings too (with their name on it, as church friends live close) but it's all one sided. Don't my family know I actually love them. But they are lost, took me to go back and live with them to realise
it. It hurts, especially my sis. I think I'll call it quits in February. Oh,vthats blackdog talking, I just don't know how much more emotional pain I can endure, the loneliness alone is killing me.

Oh @Former-Member I’m Sorry you feel this way today and I wish I could spend Christmas with you in a nice air bnb at the beach (dream away).

Thinking of you and sending hugs.

Re: why can't I cope longer?

thanks @Eve7 it sounds like you've picked yourself up a lot and getting 'on with it'' How old is your daughter? Are there others?
My heart's stopped racing, doing some deep breathing. Its difficult. Good luck with the turkey... must have cost a packet. My son doesn't like poultry.
Phone going flat here. Friend said she'll pop in later. Need a shower 💞

Re: why can't I cope longer?

My granddaughter is 3 @Former-Member I just have the 2 sons now since our baby girl is in Heaven.

I have 5 grandchildren.

Turkey was $39 so cheaper than lamb. Have I picked myself up? Not really just determined not to ruin everyone’s Christmas. This mh is a sh#t at this time of year but remember we’re in it together.

My h would have been 60 next Tuesday so I have that looming in front of me too.

I’m glad you have a friend coming over.

Love ya

❤️💚❤️

Thanks @Anastasia, @sphinx
@Eve7 I'm really very sorry, I thought I read you were talking with someone about "losing custody of your girl" I get so confused, and of cause I've probably upset U thinking it was your daughter, when you've lost your only baby girl 😞 I'm so very sorry cause I know what that feels like 💔 I miss my girl most at Christmas.
Its Not fair.

I'm sorry I keep getting everything wrong. My sister's last attack has really rocked any good self concept I had. Nothing is good enough. Stepping out is risky. I don't mean to be this 😢 I don't intend to hurt people, never! I don't think, maybe it's part of me I'm not aware of, I can speak my mind at times, defend myself... especially with family
just too messed up, sucks, why the hell am I still here 😟👎

Re: why can't I cope longer?

@Former-Member ... I am confident you have not hurt anybody sweet EOR. It is a misunderstanding which would have been easy to make. Of course you miss your little girl ... you always will. Unfortunately Christmas is a time which highlights so clearly the loss of any of our loved ones. But even more so when it comes to children who are taken so young ... because Chrismas was a big deal and very special to them .. and Christmas will never be the same without them. Please stay safe EOR ... you are one of Gods children. You are worthy and precious. And you are here for a reason ... though perhaps that reason is not clear to you yet. Hang in there beautiful.

Feel for you right now, for so many reasons @Former-Member . And you also @Eve7 🌹

Wow @Adge, is that us? Trees living on air, defying gravity, the ever sucking of vacuum black hole of unsupportive family & loneliness?

Haha, I'm Just watching ABC Shaun Micallif's 'Mad As Hell 🤣
