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 😞

@Maggie, haha, so much for "Out in the garden early" here I am still in bed typing on the forums. Gonna need that ☕️☕️ to go, thanks 😁
No concrete pans today, lucky that way... But there's
s Bereavement support group I'd like to check out tomorrow.
Hope the bathroom happenings go as planned, "cleanliness is next to Godliness" they say. I need to do the same but tend to procrastinate a little (understatement of the year lol). Wonder where your birds got to today? "blackbirds morning chorus" sounds magical 🎶
🤔must look that one up 🙂

Hi @Former-Member We must be opposites.

As the weather heats up, I feel physically wiped out (by a bus).

It gets above 40C here in Summer - my body & mind cannot cope with those temperatures.

Still, I'm happy for you - if you feel better in Spring, then that's a good thing.

28% here and already hot @Zoe7 , @Former-Member , @Adge , @outlander , wait for summer here arrrgggg

Re: why can't I cope longer?

Oh @Adge you need to move south where the summers are shorter. I don't like summer at all, I'm a midseason girl. Already the sun is too hot for me to stand in too long. A couple of weeks back the cold wind was too unbearable to be out. We're expecting another cold snap next week. Frosts. I think it's the light more than the temoeratemp. But maybe also some kinda collective eco system surge ⚡🌀🌈🌺😯 lol

Hi there @Shaz51 @Zoe7 @outlander @Maggie

Hope you all sleep well tonight 🙂
