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 😞

I just had neighbour here with flask of wine - I'm tiddly. She lost her 30yo son in MVA this year, she's a mess, and lonely, she came to my back door with wine in hand, stuck her head in 😲 - how could intended her away? When shared some tears over wine and she's gone now. Pathetic us grieving mother's. 'tis what t isn.

hey @Former-Member
sorry I missed your tag from yesterday
yeah riding it out is the most I can do and just pain managing. its frustrating not being able to anything other then soup or pureed foods.

wow! 500 electricity bill is a lot. ours is quite high too feel like we barely get any paid off before we get the next bill.

I really hope the support worker will be helpful. it does sound like a stressful situation to be in esp we are at at the end of the rope.

Re: why can't I cope longer?

That's ok @outlander , a bit teary here atm after reading a horrible letter about me by Bro2, his hatred is so toxic. It doesn't make any sense - Makes me just wanna die. The way he's aposed my caring for my parents, I'm wondering if fowel play was on his mind, with dad's life, for money, when mum died. I got in the way of that by moving in temporarily to care for him (and help mum die 😞). I guess. Its the only explanation that would justify the level of hostility for my doing ''he right thing, when none of the others would step up. Its evil. Sorry, need a break
