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 😞

is there any possible way Sane can help them forums can only do so much ready to help in anyway I can I think through some answerer at me and my outside friends just maybe we can help if you don't tell me I have no clue

Hey @Clawde,

Our thoughts are of course with all those affected by the lockdowns in Victoria. Anyone is welcome to post here on the Forums for support, whether they'd like to start a thread of their own or join one like this, or access the Sane Helpcentre for more non-urgent 1:1 support.

Re: why can't I cope longer?

👋Hi @TidesTurning - good to see you
@Clawde, thanks for your supporting and for caring here, hope we give back a little. Sorry your online access is so limited but glad you have somewhere to visit where you get a sense of 'caring' community where you're welcome. It's really tough in Victoria atm but I don't have much sympathy as lockdown is pretty much my normal. Difficult for people with vulnerable jobs and his businesses. There's a lot of people here from Melbourne, I just give individual support where I can. The vaccine arrived today so hopefully things will be better next year. Cheers 🙏

Re: why can't I cope longer?

Im not, he's a rude little sh#t to speak to his aunty like that (in case none of you picked it up) and to treat people the way they do. Don't need people like that anymore. I run away. So yes, that appears unsupportive. He needs to apologize (in case none of you pick it up). He needs to not secretly listen in on conversations and interrupt. I guess moving away is my fault.

Re: why can't I cope longer?

Wh do people presume I'm the body and deserve crap. Despite being treated that way "the world won't be a better place, won't be a better place, won't be a better place, won't be a better place, won't be a better place, won't be a better place,
