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 😞

Missed your last post @Anastasia sorry, I'm struggling, not is the sense most of you are, just got that fog closing in and gotta find a way out before I get lost in it, somehow. Just tired of everything I guess 🙏

Hi @Emelia8 @Anastasia @Eve7 - thanks for callout. I'm still in bed but looking at some journal entries I found this one that made me remember how, it's like a little light bulb flicked on (little) and I can see it's Blackdog / the disease / the brain and not me. Gotta get busy. Find a challenging hobby / project to bury myself into.

Such a beautiful pic and message @Former-Member

I try ... something like that ... believe me I really try .... hard when all loved ones do not understand ... but cannot be anything, but ourselves and do our best. I know you get that kind of situation.

Re: why can't I cope longer?

Hi there @Former-Member ... I see you have a new profile pic ... cute.

Thanks so much for posting those couple of pics. Very beautiful.

I'm sorry I didnt see your posts before now.

Notifications are not working at all right now ... neither the emails nor the sites new notifications.

Makes things very tricky. And there was I thinking nobody was around for the past few hours.

So, do you have any ideas at this stage as to what your new hobby or project might be?

Hi @Appleblossom @Eve7 @Anastasia @Clawde and anyone else.

Emelia 😊💞
