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 😞

Is BR the story of Freddie Mercury? I've seen that one. Helped me understand the suffering homosexuals endure.

Re: why can't I cope longer?

Yes it is @Former-Member Rami Malek is absolutely amazing in it. I used to watch a series calle IRobot that he was in and he was wonderful in that but this takes him to another level - Freddie Mercury would be cheering him on...

Fair enough re horses. I'm trying to get hold of "Penguins Bloom" but it's always sold out. Have you seen that one?

Haven't seen that one either but want to - have had a lot of people say how good it is ...but need the tissues @Former-Member OMG this movie is just brilliant - I don't watch many movies but this one has given me tingles - it is THAT good.

Re: why can't I cope longer?

Bit better today, yummy pain (like a million millipedes squirming and chewing at my heart), it'ss mild tonight. Ear whistles are loud. But got out the house today. Just raced out to grab a couple of necessaries. Called in tip shop - found some garden pots a double iron stove top to sit across rocks for camp bbq (if I ever get to doing it). @Shaz51 - how cold do the nights get north of Townsville in winter? You're up that way aren't you? Hope to do a roadtrip this winter, if well enough. Gettin cold tonight ☃️
