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 😞

Oh sorry I disappeared @outlander, was just taken back over Zoe7's situation, being attacked like that, on her own thread, and ... its needing withdraw 😞 Hope youre ok if you're reading Zoe 💞

It seems so easy for misunderstandings to happen here on the forums.

I guess perceptions get clouded by pain.

Someone once said to me "hurting people hurt people" Lashing out i guess ☹️ . amazing any of us get along with such a broken world.
Good night, sleep tight 💗

Actually quite relaxed tonight. Legs not hurting (if I don't move it) and reading along here a little. Sad for Zoe7, I don't understand it all.
How long you been on the forums?

Re: why can't I cope longer?

Glad to hear your relaxed tonight and your leg isnt hurting. It is hard when our forum friends are hurting. All we can do is send our love and support and hope that in time they heal. Sometimes the best way for them to cope is for them to take a break. Hopefully not for to long though cause we miss them.

Its going on 3 yrs this yr since ive been here. How long has it been since you joined up. I remember when you were new still. @Former-Member

Re: why can't I cope longer?

I'm quite depressed not sure if you know but I had a severe reaction after my surgery. I have not felt so down in a very long time. Not like this anyway. I am angry at the gas lady and the medication she gave me. It was a very frightening experience for me. I may need to go into hospital not sure yet or were I will go. I just don't know what to do- I am open to suggestions @outlander
