Feeling overwhelmed

[Brandysgirl]

Last year was honestly one of the worst years of my life. The person I was dating for 9 months lied to me the entire time, abused me, used me and my family, munipulated me, and almost put me in jail because he stabbed himself then told the cops that I knew who did it when i really didnt know anything, however he ended up telling the cops the truth that he stabbed himself and made the story up. Then my parents and I fell apart and were fighting like crazy, then last April my Uncle had a heart attack the day after he retired from being a minister for 28 years, and found out he had stage 4 cancer, and died on my brothers birthday, and it is still hurting my mom every day because he was such a nice guy and a great uncle. Then my moms mom fell and had to get surgery, my cousin is in the hospital dying right now, and my dads sister died two weeks ago when my parents and brother where on a cruise and couldnt make it to the funeral or anything. I also just found out that my ex is moving back in town not even 5 minutes away from me and I just dont have a clue on what to do.

You’ve had a lot of bad life events and losses to cope with in a fairly short period of time. It’s normal for you to feel upset and unsettled. You said earlier that you have a counselor. I hope the counseling is helping.

Hey Brandy - that is A BUNCH to deal with... but you're dealing with it. We are stronger than we 'feel' that we are. I've had a similar year and a half - there seems to be something in the air right now. So much pain and suffering. We will get through it, and we'll do it together.

I hope you have got someone like a councilor or therapist to help you sort through all this stuff...OMG I am so sorry.....I have to say you have a very full plate and a lot to work through.....it's nearly impossible to do so alone....and sometimes we just need help. All my best wishes to you and yours.....I very glad you sharing here.....it helps a lot....
