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 😞

Re: why can't I cope longer?

Hello @Former-Member

Thank you for your message. I can assure you no one has been asked not to talk to you sweetheart. That doesn't happen.

I'm sorry it feels that way. Hurts my heart you feel like that. I can only speak for me and tell you that I'm drowning a little, being carried out to sea. I feel like I'm not enough to anyone here at present. But I do see you, and I do think of you daily and hand on heart I care very much about you Eor 🙏 I should add I'm grateful for your friendship, it means a lot.

In response to the cupboard I don't have much insight other than go with your heart as to what to do. It sounds.like.you have a gift. As long as you aren't frightened then your answer will come.

I will ask a couple of friends that are gifted. See what they think and come back to you EOR 🙏

You ok @Former-Member ?

Re: why can't I cope longer?

Thanks @Anastasia, youre very kind. I struggle feeling close to people and surprised you refer to me as 'friend' I don't think K I know you well enough. When I first came here I connected strongly with a couple but they drifted away 😢 And there's several who STILL talk around and ignore me.
Sorry you're not doing well lately, your son is a handfull I know, and I'm praying things settle for him. And your other boy was in accident, broke bones 😟 W is all horrible, I'm really sorry and don't want to add to the strain. I still have trouble keeping up here, beat myself up about it, all I can work on mostly is present moment. Oh, gotta go, so tired. Xox

Hi @moxi - sorry to bother you, can you tell me if saneteam have told anyone not to interact with me? Simple question. Thanks for the offer to email but i know you less and don't feel safe behind the scenes. Here's ok with me. Thanks xox

Re: why can't I cope longer?

@Former-Member Not a bother at all. I haven't heard of anything like that, I'm wondering if maybe sometimes people support a post without replying because they want you to know that they care, but aren't sure what to say. I will ask the day crew to contact you to discuss this with you because it sounds like you're feeling really concerned about this and we all want you to have a positive online experience.

Re: why can't I cope longer?

That's nice @Maxi but i think too much water has gone under the bridge perhaps. Must keep putting my foot in it, or not 'give' enough.
I'm just settling after a bad nightmare... Think I'm under spiritual attack
Gotta rest 😴
Hope your nights not too busy. ❣️

Hello dear @Former-Member 💖

I apologise for not replying to your post about the new white cupboard. Fact is I am struggling a lot with this back of mine. Still in a lot of pain, and pain killers are not effective for severe nerve pain.

Fact is, I have been very quiet on the forums lately and rarely responding other than my thumbs up. For me, hitting the support button is not just acknowleding that I have read the post. It is also meant to let you know that I support you, and what you have said.

I will add that I have not been told by anyone to avoid you in any way. I like and admire you way too much to take heed of such advice anyway ... even if it was to ever occur. 🌸

I think you may be correct in supposing that maybe there are no real answers to your questions about the cupboard and your visions. It sounds distressing, and it makes me sad that it upsets you.

Not sure what to advise. Perhaps you could talk to your priest or minister? And I think it would also be appropriate to ask for a history of the cupboard from the former owner. As @Anastasia said too, it sounds like you have a gift. And I believe that often that gift can become a burden.

Sending you my love and a hug @Former-Member because yes .. I consider you my friend. 💞

Hi @Former-Member I am truly sorry I up set you I did not mean to in any way shape of form, I press the support button every time I read around on different posts and personally don't know what to do about the cupboard, if it what it sounds like could the police check it for DNA or somethingen maybe I am over thinking this.

Re: why can't I cope longer?

Hello again @Former-Member

Well I consider you a friend so I hope.in time you can consider me one too.

The advice I received back from my tarot lady is to cleanse the cupboard. Clear the energies, make it tur own so to speak...hope this helps.

Here is a general cleansing ritual that I perform on all of my secondhand finds.

Physically wash the item: use natural or environmentally friendly soap cleanser to remove any dirt, dust, or debris from the item.

Place a clean white cloth on a table, or floor area where the items will not be disturbed. This works for small to medium sized items. If the item is really large you can skip this step.

The cloth and object(s) should be in a bright sunlit room. The sun is a very powerful healing and cleansing aid. The items should be placed in the sunlight anywhere from 5 minutes to an hour. (This step is ideal, but for those who find this challenging or impossible for whatever reason it ok to skip this step).

Light a bundle of dried white sage: Smudge the object by allowing the smoke to cover and encompass completely. if it is an item that opens and closes, be sure to open any compartments, drawers, or doors to allow the smoke to flow freely.

Say a Prayer Or blessing: This is wonderful for setting your intention for the clearing of the items. Please feel free to ask for the divine aid of any spiritual helper you feel comfortable in aiding you in protection, this can be a deity, archangel, or spirit guide. Ask that any and all stagnant energy and energetic attachments be cleansed and released from the items. that your items be infused with positive and vibrant light, to assure that these items align with providing your home or workspace with love and all that is of higher vibrational energy. End Your prayer or blessing by thanking Great spirit, God, your angels, or guides, ect.
