Nervous breakdown1

[Ree2019]

im a 35 year old mother of 3 who has been dealing with anxiety and depression mostly all my life. as of late im finding it harder and harder to cope with everyday life. most days i either just want to float into the abyss or just run away. I feel like nothing i do matters and that im all alone. I really feel like im spiraling out of control and i dont know which end is up. ive made several mental health visits but keep rescheduling. I just dont know anymore.

Ree, you are suffering from nervous exhaustion, you have worn yourself out with too much worry and hard work. Being a mother of 3 is hard work and it takes its toll.

You must discuss this with relatives, your partner and your doctor and reach out to them to help you and relieve you of some of your tasks.

Attend that mental health appointment without further delay. Get at least 8 hours sleep, do not accept less, get some 'you' time, it is an important part of your recovery.

When your depleted reserves of energy have been restored you will feel normal once more.

yes exhaustion is the perfect word. I hate feeling like im letting anyone down so i constantly try and do more than meets the eye with everyone. my mom tells me im an empath and therefore i feel not only my emotions very deeply but others as well

You are still very young. Notice what you said in the first sentence. You have been "dealing". After this breakdown, you will know one thing. You will breakup with this old self. This old you who is constantly worried and down. Close your eyes and picture the best version of yourself. How do you look. How do you feel? What vibe do you give off ? Is your heart peaceful? Is it constantly excited about life? You have won the lotto of the universe in that you are a human being on planet earth in this vast galaxy. Use this new self that you have come up with and felt to motivate you to attract all sources of recovering from this. Every cell in your body is constantly working to keep you alive. Whoever created this universe, these deep oceans, these massive mountains these bright stars, looked at this all and decided that the universe needed one of YOU. It's time to start your healing journey and this breakdown is your sign to have the fight of your life. I believe in signs, and me righting this post right now should be yours. Much love
