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?

I understand how you feel @Former-Member

remembering other's struggles...

I have enough problems remembering what I did yesterday.

My mind blanks things as a protective reaction.

Also I do not stray too far from one particular thread where I feel more comfortable.

I feel that I have said the wrong thing or expressed my self in a way that has offended another. This is the last thing that I want to do.

So every now and again when reading up on someone's news I find others who catch my interest.

Your style of response does that for me

Take care

Re: why can't I cope longer?

@Sophia1, understand that feeling you've offended others, unless they tell you it's hard because I like to think most don't set out directly to offend or hurt or ignore... I'm pretty forgiving but learning thats not good self care with some. I might remember some histories but fail to connect them to the profile name. Then so many change it anyway. I need to show more interest though, read more threads, it's just overwhelming for me, especially the feeling for people. I've concluded the only safe way is to respond in the moment, with what I can give at the time, but also reach out when I need to. Hope you're good. 35° here today 🙁 but I done dishes and bathed dog 😇 lol
