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?

@Former-Member I’m not travelling well. News from Housing isn’t good, even though I’ve been given a support worker. Waiting and more waiting is all I seem to hear. I feel passed from person to person, and each one knows nothing about my situation, even though I’ve said it numerous times. Sorry, I didn’t mean to rave.

Youve had some tough days, weeks and more. I’m sitting with fur baby but it’s freezing. Snow down to 100mts, so should be on the roof soon.lol. Sending warm thoughts your way, along with the rave. 💕💜💕💜☕️☕️☕️☕️

Sorry to hear that @Maggie, housing system is such a failure. Snow at 100m is low, wow... it's overcast, cold and windy here. You stay warm, maybe grab a hot Cocolate 💜

Re: why can't I cope longer?

Definitely resting @Former-Member That is all I can do today - too achy, fever. cough. sneezing and running nose. Dosing up with vitamins, pain killers and water. On the positive side my throat isn't as sore so that is a bonus

Great that you showered Hon - that is a positive too I always feel a little better after a shower but not doing that today - need to stay warm.

I love that smiley face image you posted here too - might copy that one and put on my computer

@Maggie The housing system here is ridiculous yet we have houses vacant and left to run down instead of putting someone in there. ...and the government says they are doing all they can ...bullsh*t. It is a long running problem and I am so sorry you are being treated the way you are in all this Hon.

@Zoe7 - you taking tomorrow off sick? I bathed Georgia girl today - she takes so long to dry. Im next 😉 - this is going on be epic lol 🎉

Ordered online groceries - delivered 7am (won't go out if not showered). News just said its gonna be -4 here tonight

BRR🌬️

Re: why can't I cope longer?

Yes Hon taking tomorrow off. Called just after lunch time when I could feel it getting worse - have only moved off the couch today to eat - at least I managed that tonight. Hadn't had anything all day so steamed some veggies @Former-Member

Toby is like Georgia - takes so long for him to dry after a bath but he looks so cute with his straggly wet hair lol

Great job on ordering the groceries - early for them to be delivered - I am hoping I am still asleep at 7am Can't breath at all through my nose though so might be a long night for me. Going to stay on the couch where it is super warm and that way I can try to sleep with head raised also - that might help me a bit.

Going to be 2 here overnight so you are going to be double us lol - forecast 15 for tomorrow though which is an improvement on today ...at least the rain has stopped for now so if I need to go to the chemist in the morning then I won't get wet as well.
