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 😞

Haha @ @Zoe7 @ re fairies, we were typing same time herehjst now. And my first post ii accidentall hit send too soon 😞 think I need a cuppa. Miss'd ya �

Re: why can't I cope longer?

Miss you too @Former-Member Great to have you back 😘

I really thought I had avoided the cold going to my chest but probably should have known better It's been over a year since I have had a chest infection so grateful for that. Think we have caught it early enough though so it doesn't develop into something worse. I do need to take it easy over the next few days but also need to get things done - the stress of falling even further behind has been weighing on me too and has added to me feeling both unwell and flat. Not ideal timing but when is it? Will take my time tomorrow and leave if I need to - then just get through Friday and rest over the weekend when I can. I have more palings to cut but it is something that I actually enjoy and it shouldn't take more than a couple of hours ...so plenty of time to rest.

Great job in unloading the car Hon - that is indeed success ...and even better to hear you have been talking to neighbours more - spreading your wings opens up so many avenues for support as well - hope there is more to come for you

Re: why can't I cope longer?

Thanks @Zoe7, you've got it figured out, sometimes we actually listen to our higher self / still small voice of wisdom within, for healing.
Today I even got in a Dr Visit - f/up of high BP and iron studies... Iron too low so off to specialist for further investigations again. As I left I Confronted her on her $20 gap fee... she turned on her heel and said "that's just my fees" - even for a f/up visit for blood test results, $93 consult for a GP doesn't sound right to me and not sure she's that good, so lol just go less and I'll keep looking round. I had a little shop and the yummiest lamb kabab after but crashed when I got home - slept a solid 2hrs and woke very time disorientated... Furbaby keps me grounded.
Ya know, I'm Feeling so very tired Zoe7, worried I can't keep going on like his, just got to I guess.

Re: why can't I cope longer?

@Former-Member Good to hear you are back safely. Low iron will be adding to your feelings of tiredness. Gee expensive Dr, hope you find a cheaper one sometime soon.

I’ll check out the bird pic, I never thought of a finch, I went by the circle around their eyes. They visit daily now.

Hope today is good to you in small ways at least. 💜☕️
