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 🙂

I read your post last night about the electric blanket while I was tucked up in bed. I had a kitten sleeping on my bare feet under the blanket. She's so soft, warm and snuggly and her purrs are very comforting.

Your mention of cooking yourself by keeping the blanket on made me giggle. I haven't had an electric blanket for ages but when I used to I loved getting in to bed with it on. I hated waking up in a sweaty hot mess if I fell asleep with it on though! Hope that didn't happen for you last night.

Hey @Former-Member

Sorry to hear the news of possible cancer in bro ??

I liked your electric blanket post like @CheerBear

I had to re-read my last post to you. I did not mean you had done anything to upset me, not in my mind at all. I have been busy doing a course which started early in day til late at night. A big pressure for me but worth it, that why I have not been posting. I was talking generally about having lower expectations. Just being a little more mature in my social mingling, not getting my hopes up too much ... for that new wonderful relationship possiblities ,,,

It makes me realise how easily it is to take things personally ...and misunderstand..

I actually had a lovely night last night. It was a gig, a benefit for a lady who had recently died. In a great place, sold out, with great people. I did feel a little shy and scared though so left fairly quickly to minimise socialising ... the feat goes deep in me, no matter how hard I work at it.

Take Care of you.

My mood has levelled out today, not so 'high' so hope it doesn't plummet. Nice having a break from SI
