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 😞

I'm glad your soup turned out Yum @Former-Member & the Frozen meals you made.

I don't like going places (especially social places) by myself.

So that's why I don't go at all - Zoo, Aquarium, Botanic Gardens.

They are all places/ activities that I really do love & enjoy (with company).

I've not been to any of them in many years.

I manage to muster the "Must Go anyway" on my own - To Christmas & Australia Day.

Because they are special events/ celebrations - I would feel totally alienated & left-out, otherwise (if I didn't go).

We gotta keep trying when live alone. I can't do AD anymore, it doesn't exist to me. TV reminders bad enough. I'm fragile tonight, teary, just saw someone on the forums say to another "you're worth supporting" and since this person was once close to me and now blatantly snubs me... blackdogs twists it to "EOR (Lapses/Tawney) YOURE NOT WORTH IT. not worth it! not worth it... and others i really miss who were close but just give me the polite 👋 now if I'm lucky, to save face I guess, hurts - just feeling more down tonight i guess 😢 . Gotta try harder to pick myself up, not mind the haters so much. Guess it reminds me of my sisters stand, and how ugly these people must see me... Not worth it.. Too 'thin skinned' my ma use to say. Maybe i just need a good cry, pills, movie distraction. What are you doing tonight @AdgeNCIS is good. True Grit is on GEM. 😣 i usually ring dads nursing home to tell them to put it on his TV for him 😢 loved his westerns

What is AD that you cannot do @Former-Member I have no idea what that is.

Apparently I am not worth supporting either, never have been.

There are several lovely people who do give thoughtful heartfelt responses - I won't forget them.

I have a very long memory, when kindness is shown.

Otherwise I gave up nearly all of my Threads (on important relevant Topics) - Because there rarely any responses at all.

There is not much purpose in me just writing or talking to myself - I have a Daily Jounal Book for that (yes it's helpful).

A Forum is for social support & interaction.

I was a Moderator on a Chilhood Abuse (Trauma) Site for several years - Unfortunately the Site had lack of funding $$ & support, so it had to shut (close) down.

I have not had similar experiences, since then.
