How do I honestly keep afloat, after trying therapy, meds, meditation, etc. I feel like giving up so many times it's becoming scary

I'm recently transitioning from homelessness to my own apartment with my two children. With so much on my mind, it's hard to stay afloat. I am a domestic abuse victim, trying to free my family of that madness. I've been recently declared disabled, can't work and I feel as if I let my family down tremendously. I take all of my meds, on time, go to therapy-when they don't cancel on me, I just need advice on how to NOT want to give up every waking moment of my chaotic life. I feel as if I've done/am doing everything I am supposed to be doing and nothing is improving.

Hi I am so happy u have a place now. I'm so sorry nothing is helping I heard yoga helps plus reading certain books and exercising, church. Also I try teas lemon ginger in the mornings, chamomile at night at times both with a good organic honey. I wish times get better for u and the kids please hang in there

You've made a big improvement by getting your own place. Try starting to change things for the better by taking baby steps. Make a list of small things you'll accomplish today, and check each one off as you go along. Give yourself a sense of progress, no matter how small at the beginning. You've been through a horrible mess, so take it easy on yourself at the start.

The list is a great idea, I'm a visual person. I've been keeping up with the journaling. Thanks so the Ray of Hope in such a gloomy storm.

What a lot of fun life is. You are trying, and I commend you. Stay strong. You might not think you are strong, but you are a survivor! I am constantly putting myself down for not doing more, but, everyday I take a breather, I am being strong, like you, for my kids! You made me feel better, because, we can do this!
