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?

I did all the Bird cages this morning (seed, water & clean cages) too @Zoe7

So yes productive, as far as possible.

The heat certainly does Zap my energy - Anything above about 25C is outside my Comfort Zone.

Good on you for researching your product, & even what aisle it is in - Before you go.

I never thought of finding out what aisle it's in, before I go there - That's why I get "Mixed results" (cannot find it)...

My ex wife was a Manager at Bunnings - So maybe there some extra Triggers, associated with that...

That is a lot @Adge especially in the heat so well done on getting so much done.

If it is bigger items I always find out if it is in store first but for the general tools and smaller items they usually have plenty of I do not bother.

Hi @Adge & @Zoe7 - sorry, don't know where I've been, what I've been doing today.
I like shopping @ Bunnings 'cause i can take the dog and there's no trip hazards for walking. And it's cool and there's a coffee shop....

Ive been filling out my 2021 A4 diary / address / info book - Updating contacts & planning. Hurts my brain. Haven't been outside today. Theres Not much on television but I did enjoy Diagnosis Murder today. .
Headache has gone.

Old friend from Newcastle rang, wants to visit me tomorrow, how sweet is that! that she makes time for me. Got a nice email today too. 🤔Maybe I'm not such a horrible person after all. Or everyone is just super compassionate.
Hope ya both ok? sorry - don't have much more to say tonight. Sleep well.
Night 😴

I love we can take fur babies to Bunnings too @Former-Member I put Toby's blanket n the top of the trolley and he sits there while I push him around I used to go every Sunday with him and buy a sausage for him. We would then sit on the grass and I would feed him bit by bit. It was always a lovely time together.

I hope you have a lovely visit today with your friend. You are certainly not a horrible person Hon - quite the opposite in-fact so enjoy the company
