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 😞

Hi everyone,

Just jumping in here to remind everyone about our respect guidelines. We all bring different experiences and feelings here to the forums, and it's important that we hold space in a way that is respectful of the experiences of all members here.

I am going to encourage everyone here to take some space if you are feeling activated by this discussion before responding, and reach out to the SANE team in the first instance if you have concerns via team@saneforums.org

We are heading into a space where I can hear that there are feelings hurt, and it's important we bring this discussion back to a space of peer support. If anyone is needing more support today, the SANE helpcentre and Peer Support teams are here for you

Hey @Former-Member sorry I haven’t spoken much lately but my S1 had a dreadful work accident last week and I had to pull myself together and be there for him.

Driving backwards and forwards to city hospital has left me exhausted. He’s home now and on road to recovery.

I marked one of your posts about stopping meds which I will answer soon I promise

There's been times when I’ve thought people have been told to stay away from me too both here and irl. Usually my paranoia but it did happen once in a church!!!

Anyway, I really care about you and you are in my thoughts and prayers as we’ve walked a similar road.

Lots of love
