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 @Former-Member How have you been?

You're a very good person, in my book.

It's so hard when people (especially relatives) judge us harshly, or refuse to talk to us calmly & sensibly.

I can never understand it.

One of my brothers thinks that I am dirt & manure, or speaks to me as if I am.

I only ever showed him kindness.

So, yes it does hurt, & it's not fair - for you or for anyone.

Re: why can't I cope longer?

Thanks @outlander, you ok?
@Adge, that's horrible how your siblings have treated you. I've concluded that SOME PEOPLE SIMPLY HAVE A NEED TO HATE... and they find the easiest, cosest and most vulnerable target. Wonder if they'll ever learn that attacking others is an attack on hemselves... they carry so much poison.
Often when I'm overcome with heavy heart from the all, the Holy Spirit whispers to me. "They hate you because they first hated me..." and "your brethren all over the world suffer the same..." "Endure to the end..." ... ...
And so we must ride the waves of living grief as well as physical death, in the hope of heaven where there's no more tears ✝️

After a few days contemplating SI I woke out of the blue this AM feeling amazing... Actually WANTED to get out of bed and go for a walk and shopping... Bones hurting from overdoing it but mood ok 🤔 maybe the good meal I had last night, and bring more diligent with iron supps lately (anemia),
