I honestly don't know how I'm doing this. Going to work, dealing with all new people, b*******. I am tired. And not the kind some sleep would fix. It's a tired I can't even explain. My body and brain have been and continue to go through a proverbial wood chipper in the past 5 weeks.  I honestly wish God would take me. I’m NOT suicidal, but I’m ready to go whenever He is.


Does anyone else have a hard time finding the right words to express this feeling??

Yep, I laugh when people say stupid crap like, "don't you want to live to be 80!'...UMMMMM, HELL NO! I'm almost 50 and I'm worn the hell out mentally and physically why the hell would I want to do another 30 years????

Yes sick and tired of being sick and tired sounds about right.

I understand the feeling. I’m not suicidal but the never ending grind of physical and mental illness is exhausting. It’s a heavy weighted feeling. I feel moments of being ok, but those are fleeting. Like standing in the ocean with unrelenting waves knocking me down as soon as I stand up every single time.
