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 😞

Re: why can't I cope longer?

I have a headache, and my Blood Pressure high, 156/94 & my chest is heavy. Gonna have to do anaurgent fasting detox or something. Dr wants to put me on a 4th med for my blood pressure but getting me to check it twice a day for a fortnight first. She scared me with predictions of 'stroke' and heart attack... And pressured me to exercise and diet and lose weight and... Its all so exhausting I just want to die already lol.. Actually snapped at her last week and said "if you can guarantee me a a quick painless death with a heart attack then I don't give a shit about all this stuff" It sort of came out of nowhere actually, not sure the young GP knew how to take it. Can't get into more senior GPs as new to town and they're not taking any new patients atm" (more BPD abandonment triggers), so trying to be patient. Really feeling past my useby date trying to balance several boarderline health issues.
Meanwhile, today at home, I just had a double bed & mattress delivered by Salvos and they'd broke the bedhead 😞 so I'm gonna have to get brackets or something. I asked them if they had time to please help me get the wardrobe out of my car (been there 2wks now), but they said no (which for some reason is making me cry, boo hoo 😢). I really shouldn't do it myself with the back and blood pressure issues and not sure what to do. Makes me sad.

Hugs @Former-Member thats really tough. I recently found out i have high bp too where my normal is around 148/95 so have to keep an eye on mine as well to make sure it doesnt get any higher.

Im sorry salvos broke your bed and gave you a blunt no. Surely they couldve taken 10 min out of their time.

Your definently not past your uae by date lovely. I have also been in those dark pits that seems endless but keep fighting for those good days and when you cant fight ill lend you one of my floaties so you can rest ❤❤❤
