Depressed and lonely

[Tammybro]

I don't really know where to start. I have major depression, anxiety , stress, panic attacks, and I'm going through grief from the loss of my Dad. I feel all alone. None of my family supports me. I have 3 daughters two of which hate me. My sister tries to control everything about my Dads Estate,when we were both left equal excutators. I decided to take some time off work to work on my mental health issues and my 18 year old daughter blames me for not being able to help her with everything she needs when she decided she was an adult and moved out of my house. My middle daughter has anger issues and blames me for everything that goes wrong in life in general. A part of me wants to sell the houses of my Dads Estate since me and my sister live beside each other just to get away from her and my niece that lives with her but part of me wants to keep the houses because I grew up here. I'm so lost. I cry every day. I just want to be happy and I don't think it's ever going to happen.

hi tammy. I am sorry you feel this way. i suggest that now that you have some time off from work, find a hobby. pain, run, join a club, volunteer at a hospital (or anywhere). keep yourself busy that gives you satisfaction. that way you can also make some meaningful connections with other people in addition to doing something that makes you happy. maybe find a local support group in your area.

as far as your daughters are concerned, they seem to be insecure and are just displacing their own faults on you. (i personally do that to my own parents as well unconsciously). i think the best thing is to confront them about their issues. have a meaningful conversation with them about mental health. open up to them about your own struggles.

bear in mind that this process is incredibly difficult. I have many issues that I am working on myself. see a therapist. reach out to someone in your life.

Good luck. I hope things get better for you. and remember that no one deserves to be treated badly or feel like this.
