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 😞

Cute rabbit @outlander 👍 Guess there's very little '''d' about being here really, it had to be, Even visiting dad less is good for me (but not dad).

To make a god day - I've learned what activities I like - that make me feel good after, and I try do more of that. Creating things is special., and travelling, views & mountains & birds... Do you have a hobby that feeds your soul,?

@Adge , understandable you need to rejuvenate on the weekends, after working... And sounds like that surgery knocked you around a bit (but not as bad as before thank God). I did see ithat, and sad i wasn't more supportive, as Tawney / Lapses, but I was praying for you. 🦉

Re: why can't I cope longer?

sometimes less is more @Former-Member sometimes its makes the visits more special and actually gives you things to talk about too. i like the way you make a good day.
scenic drives and walks are good for the soul. no, not really i dont have anything right now. need to find that bit of passion and fire again somewhere.

Good morning @Former-Member 🌸🍀

Re: why can't I cope longer?

@Appleblossom nice to see you pop by too, thanks for the cute embroidery pictures 😊 I'll pop over your thread soon, see how a doin' but seriously need to find a church home here in my new home town. Though somewhat weary of people these days. Use to love being around ppl and cry when they forget me, but after those brothers of mine... little voice inside screams ''piss off" 😞 Really gotta work on that. Apparently now they're trying to stop the sale of the house (needed to pay for dads care) which could see him being moved to an inferior facility... I've blocked all my brother's on my phone now, so sick of their crap.

Ooo, where did all hat come from. Betta get something done here Namaste 🙏

hi @Former-Member
im working this weekend at another job so ive only got a little bit of time this morning but will come back this evening when im home. trying to hurry up and get pop these assessments so i can get the ball rolling for other things. everyone seems to have such long wait lists- super annoying and frustrating. hes becoming very dependent on me and is struggling to do the basic tasks except for his usual routines which allows me to have the second job every once in a while thankfully.
trying to save for another car as well.


Goodluck with your cleaning up, house inspections are quite annoying arent they but i guess they are going to happen whether we like them or not hey. How is the unpacking going? did you manage to get any help with unloading some of the heavy stuff?

how are you going?



hello @Former-Member
