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 for saying that @Former-Member

Yes, we’ll never be alone again over this time as there’s always someone who knows exactly what we’re going through.

Wish we could go away together and just sip lattes watching the setting sun

💛☀️💛🌼💛

I'd love that @Eve7 - maybe a Bailey's on the side too 💕 speaking of grog. I found a funny gif today, will post it later 💛😢💛💔💛

How about this one for you @Former-Member @Eve7

Haha, perfect @Adge 😊👍 thank you you 💕 Do you like Bailey's Eve7 ? Not that I recommend getting drunk.
Do you ever wonder if God is using you (us) as some kinda social experiment to see how much emotional pain a human can tolerate? Like the book of JOB or something. How does one make sense of it all?

OK then @Eve7 - Latte and sunset is probably safer. Maybe we can do it by a WA beach - watching the waves 🌴🌅 Enjoy your pizza & swim out 💛

Bindi Irwin is much same age as my girl would be,band similar looks. I'm kinda living my dreams for my girl through her life's milestones. Can't fault them really, only admiration. I reckon they must have some good therapists behind them though, to carry on as they have. Working with animals has gotta be therapeutic too / grounding. Quite inspirational really 😢

I've been in bed all day, this is not living.
