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 😞

Thanks Snowie, probably worried about nothing. Oopsy, forgot you were there in lockdown, but for medical procedures i thought they'd go ahead. Good Onya for walking dog today 🐕🏃💙
Hi @Appleblossom, good job with cookup 👍 Do you do enough to freeze meals? I do. Sorry your son doesn't appreciate it. Just gotta keep doing what's right regardless how others react I guess. I don't expect anyone to 'like' me anymore, it's not that important now. But it helps to think so. It's such a broken world and everyone's just doing the best they can, at their varying degrees of success and disfunctional. Does any of it really matter? 👀 but thanks 💙

@Former-Member See!

People do like you

but honestly for me ... I have found it so hard and put a lot of work in and extend myself ... now I am changing focus, not concerning myself as much about others, just trying to live the best I can, and enjoy any moments that come my way.

You have heaps of positive energy a lot of the time and generate good vibes a lot.

My son does appreciate it, in his way. Lately he is saying thank you a lot, so something has shifted.

Hi @Appleblossom I love your dinner choice, can't be bothered cooking tonight so looks like we may have something similar. Just wanted to say that you too are very popular and held very high in my eyes.
Have a wonderful weekend everyone, I have 3 of my grandkids staying over tomorrow so won't be around much. ❤️

@Former-Member

Thank you very much.

Sometimes I need to hear it. As the nagging voice of doubt can undermine a cheery front.

Hope your time with grandlittlies is beautiful and not too exhausting.

Yes @Appleblossom, you deserve to be here and well liked. I'm glad you're here! Love your depth and empathy, how you pick up on important points most overlook, and take the time to comment constructively... Yep, I'm glad you're here.

Hi @Former-Member

Been busy this morning. Took D to her first job, went food shopping with S, picked up D and now home. Still have to take D to her second job but just sitting down having a cuppa at the moment.
