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?

Thanks so much @Zoe7 yes, it's dropping behind me slowly, and I even took furbaby for a walk tonight. My sister is trying to get sole control of dads estate... again, won't give me her solicitors name, says it's too expensive for me to contact them, and falsely declaring she has all our permission in her email. I don't trust her, she's been so dishonest and rude to me, I'm so stressed about this, wish it didn't screw with my head, triggers So - was on the phone a long time today, getting a lot of legal advice & info. I'm not coping with it. Palpitations etc. Need help or let her Rob me (us) Not fair.

Sheesh, just saw a girl get bittenn by snake on "I'm a celebrity" - can't believe they let / risk that happening then say, "it's ok, it's not venomous" wt# 😧 and carry on like normal, without even a band-aid 🤨

Sorry, easily distracted

Its Good your tooth is almost sorted, and less painful. And ya parents are getting better, kinda, though slowly. I'm proud of you & your sister for stepping up for them. Hope school is going well. 🦉

💙💚💛🧡💔

when the X turned up at A&E that night, I left but got lost, roaming aimlessly around hospital grounds in the dark, trying to find way out, court yards, dead ends and spiders everywhere... think I was disassociated, definately in shock. It woke me.
I rang helpline this time this morning... he was fine but very young 😞 settled when I told him I'm safe..
So tired 🛌
Good thing is I'm not distressed, just is.

Having trouble posting sorry. Must be a computer glitch... again... Probably makes me look in sane like an idiot. Oh, hang on, I am in sane 🤣

Hi @Former-Member . I think your message above has posted twice - can happen if it looks like it didn't send the first time.

Sending you some gentle hugs. Doing a jigsaw here, trying to block thoughts. Rain has stopped for the moment.
