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 😞

Always a project to 'get into' Zoe7 (if i can find things) Today I figured out attaching the flyscreen so it doesnt keep falling off. That was one achievement I guess.

That is a great achievement @Former-Member Working those things out for ourselves also brings with it some pride - so well done 👍 I have a cuple of fly screens that need to be replaced - might need to send them to you to do

Warching a movie at the moment but will switch to the footy when it finishes @Former-Member I think it is up to him and the governing body whether he plays again - I don't agree with many of the statements he has previously made though.

Have I told you about my 'devil fly' @Former-Member I swear this fly keeps coming back to annoy me - squished, sprayed, swatted - doesn't matter - he is always there lol

Re: why can't I cope longer?

Difficult being such high profile, but then again, people don't have to follow his social media threads. I always change chanel or black things I don't like. Very weird all that.
Whose playing tonight?

In response to: Re: why can't I cope longer?

Re: why can't I cope longer?

Yeah I agree @Former-Member I certainly don't follow him anywhere - just the media that I sometimes see but usually switch off nowadays too. Melbourne and the Bulldogs playing tonight.

Re: why can't I cope longer?

Oo - a death defying fly! Hate to tell you this Zoe but I think there might be more than one fly 🤔
What movie you watching?

Re: why can't I cope longer?

Oh dear @Former-Member my world has just been shattered ...more than one fly lol

Watching Bohemian Rhapsody - it is brilliant.
