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?

Ouch alright @Former-Member Those green ants have a nasty sting.

That's not good.

I remember them well, there were hundreds of them at my childhood home (front yard).

They got me many times.

I didn't know that ordinary-looking House flies could Bite.

Yes they can.

Several got into my house.

One sat on my legs, while I lay down for a rest (yesterday afternoon) - It bit me several times.

I got fed up with being bitten - whilst lying there all vulnerable, trying to rest.

So I got up & sprayed it.

I don't like spraying things - but if it keeps on biting me, that's what it's gona get....

Re: why can't I cope longer?

I am much the same as you @Adge but when it comes to blowflies I also bring out the spray - they annoy me no end with their flapping wings and noisy flying around. I don't get many because of the fly screens but occasionally one sneaks in under the magnetic door screen when Tobes or Cat are sitting there holding it open

@Former-Member I hope you have had some relief from the bite - not at all what you needed trying to rest your back Hon

Re: why can't I cope longer?

Hi @Adge - yeah, I've not found green ant on my bed before, maybe furbaby brand it in. But I've had really tiny black ants on the bed here (they also bite but not sting) but Housenot greens before. Cant figure out where they're getting in. Yes, I've known flies to Bite sometimes. Pesky little thing biting you x4 while trying to rest yesterday. I don't put up with 'em anymore. Like Zoe I spray them. Got this low allergy Enviro Spray that good.

Hi @Zoe7 thanks, yes, THE STINGING has gone. Glad it wasn't a spider at least 💞

Maybe you Jinxed me @Former-Member Just kidding.

What a weird coincidence - There was a Green Ant, right on My Bed.

Straight after You said a Green Ant Stung you on Your Bed....

I've Never had one inside the house before.

I quickly removed it, before it had any chance to get me...
