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 😞

Your new garden bed looks fabulous @Former-Member ... I'm very impressed. Cant make out what you have planted in there though.

A very productive day for you ... well done.

That does not sound too good re the news from your Bro4 about your Dad. Could be another trip coming up soon.

Hugz to you @Former-Member , please take care.

Re: why can't I cope longer?

Haha @ Adge, I can relate to that 🙂 My son just tx me saying exactly that - having a hybernation PJ day, catching up on rest. I use to crave company for decades, but I've grown up now NOT! (given up mostly)

Are you ok Adge?

Hiya there @ outlander and @ Sherry, I've been wondering how you are 💜💚💛🧡❤️💙

I just RANG MY DAD'S RN, bit of a language barrier but eventually we were on the same page. She tells me dad is fine, was reviewed by Dr today, antibiotics ceased. I've concluded dad's having a bad day (dementia's like that)., but also, Bro4 probably thinks it's time i visit... (Bro4 has been unpleasant at me).
I'll go when I'm ready 💜

NO FAIR! 😳 Storm did it 😞

@Zoe7 @Adge @outlander @Former-Member @Maggie @Faith-and-Hope @Shaz51 😭

My son finally rang last night. Said he is depressed and spent the whole w'end on 'self-care' (which included a picture board of positive memories & people - which Im included on 😁 and a five year plan to go on a working holiday overseas for 2-5yrs years 😞 But at least he rang. And at least the storm brang much needed rain 🌷🦉

Can't see the image yet but if it is your little garden you just put together and planted I am gutted for you @Former-Member Glad your son contacted you though and also that he included you in the board of positive memories and people - he has been distant lately and it has really affected you - so really pleased for you. Take care Hon
