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 😞

Would love to be joinging you for a swim @Clawde Doing absolutely nothing today - sleeping and now have the cricket on - so a very quiet day.

That’s what I’m doing @Zoe7 @Former-Member @Clawde

Nothing but cricket 🏏

Sounds good to me @Eve7 👍 Some days we just need to stop, do nothing and let ourselves enjoy that. Hoping the Aussies can knock over these last 5 wickets quickly - need a breakthrough soon though.

In response to: Re: why can't I cope longer?

Re: why can't I cope longer?

We sure do need a breakthrough soon @Zoe7

I think I’ll turn off the fan and put on the a/c. It is very hot here today.,

Re: why can't I cope longer?

Warm and windy here @Eve7 but no ac needed yet. Think we are in for a storm later but I will be tucked inside all cosy with Tobes and Cat ....bliss

Re: why can't I cope longer?

Very still here, no wind at all @Zoe7

I'm home with Peter bird who’s very quiet today. I’ll let him out now the fan is off.

How’s your Dad’s horse today?

Re: why can't I cope longer?

No news on the horse @Eve7 but I am not going to call Dad as he was quite rude and dismissive yesterday - I understand he is worried and didn't feel like talking so will give him time. I will head to my parents' place later in the week when I go to Bunnings but until then I need some space from them as well - a few days with just my fur babies is all I want right now.

Has Peter bird been swearing his little head off today or has he been good?

In response to: Re: why can't I cope longer?

Re: why can't I cope longer?

Peter bird let loose when the umpire didn’t call out!! Now P is just saying “gutter talk” as he knows I’m the only one here. @Zoe7

My 13y old gs was trying to get him to say “no more blxxxy cricket” but he hasn’t said it yet!

In response to: Re: why can't I cope longer?

Re: why can't I cope longer?

haha @Eve7 He is on the Aussie's side too lol Love though that your girl was trying to get him to say that - that would be funny to hear lol

In response to: Re: why can't I cope longer?

Re: why can't I cope longer?

He says fxxxkn Indians too @Zoe7 @which I’m not happy about!! No one has owned up to teaching him that!
