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?

It seems this move has been really beneficial for you @Former-Member and that is wonderful to hear There are still going to be those times when you wonder what life is all about and where you fit into it - know that feeling well myself - but day by day you are getting things organised at the house and enjoying the envirnoment you are in - and in that regard you have made huge progress. From where you were when you were looking for a home to where you are now is a big improvement so celebrate that Hon - it is a big thing and a step forward

@Former-Member A sunrise or sunset will always do something for me, as well as the singing of the birds. Life gets simple while dealing with the complicated.

I know back pain well. A heat pack sounds good. Hope the unpacking gets done eventually. I have half my stuff packed waiting for the next move. It’s not at all easy. Take care.

The rolling hills and the sky... you have painted a beautiful, restful picture @Former-Member. Hope you can rest up with that heat pack and enjoy the healing one day at a time.

@Former-Member

Good to hear from you. Trust in your instinct for knowing what is good for you. I just had a drive through the countryside and it is healing and calming.

Thank you @Appleblossom @Ali11 @Maggie @Zoe7 @outlander How you all going. I'm still cleaning up collateral damage from last week's slump. Trying to fix phone contacts this morning. Such a pain to me and everyone I blocked or deleted. Got myself a welfare check yesterday, annoying.

Hi there @Former-Member sorry about the welfare check, that’s a pain. If you don’t mind me asking, what are you doing with your phone? I hope it’s not a dumb question.

I’m heading out for awhile, I hope you have a good day.

Sometimes blocking or deleting people is self-care @Former-Member - it is your way to cut out those in your life that cause damage - and we need less of those people in our lives not more.

Hope you have had an okay day. Always good to see your name pop up Hon

The liquid paper on the phone screen made us laugh @Former-Member Hope it's been a good day
