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 😞

Good morning @Former-Member 😄

I hope you are coping as well as possible in the leadup to what must be the most traumatic anniversary any Mum could ever have. The tragic loss of a child. 💔

My thoughts are with you every day, and my heart breaks for you at this time. Big hugs to you lovely.

Re: why can't I cope longer?

Thanks so much for thinking of me @Emelia8 especially with all you've got goingin' on. 10th year now, a psych nurse back then said "you'll find a peace with it in time" hmm, peace... not fully but it's heading that way piece by piece. It's is the death of part of myself too. I miss my girl 😢 it's not just one day, the world is closing in. I can't move today. 'Giving in' my mum use to scold me... I'll make a cuppa soon. Did feed pup... Betta go shut that door, sigh. Thanks 💙

Hello @Former-Member

Just calling in to see how you are today. Thanks for your kindness last night and be assured I’ll be sticking by you over these coming days.

I’ve decided to move to a smaller home and S2 Can move into the big house. S1 had a disaster with his estranged crazy wife which wasn’t pleasant. It’s all complicated especially with the little ones.

I’m going to live alone so see how it goes.

Please take care 💙💚💙

Re: why can't I cope longer?

Arr, I get it now @Eve7... you're grandma. Living alone has benefits - less demands... but then the isolation can be hard. Gotta be proactive with that one. This year I'm hoping to go out for coffee at least once a week (even if alone) and church more, maybe a quilting group... ... not because I like it, but because it has mysterous lingering benefits on mood.
