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 😞

@Former-Member @Eve7 thinking of you both during this difficult time of grief. It never goes away does it? But I guess we learn better ways of coping with it over the years and remembering more of the happier moments we shared with those who have passed on. It doesnt make it any easier to endure the pain and sense of loss of our loved ones ... but it helps us to get through.

Sending you both hugs and love. And I hope the following pics have meaning to you.

Re: why can't I cope longer?

My heart is heavy
Arranged to go see a movie tomorrow. And my son just TX with all these plans for me to come visit him next week (he's been flipping me off visiting for months, prioritising the whole universe before me lol) but now, my worst week of the year, he thinks he can fit me in 😞 I just can't do it anymore, push myself aside to fit in with everyone else's timing. It's so exhausting to bury my feelings nowadays, to go in strutting around pretending at these times, how can he not know this? And I don't want him seeing me sad. He hated it. Can't handle it... Nobody can 😭 oh shirt! Head hurts.. i gotta go cry, sick of this
