My life has fallen apart

I lost my job 4 years ago. Had to deal with a huge family mess. Care for then bury to in-laws. Clean up and sell their property. Deal w my partner of 20 years who had cancer. Get her thru to becoming a survivor. Care for a teenager during this time and get him to college where he’s struggled. Deal with Mom who has moderate alz and dementia. We got divorced and now she’s suing me over a house I completely renovated a-z. I’m being forced to sell the house with no teal plans. I’ve become really depressed to the point I can barely function at times. Going to counseling and starting another Med, I’m resistant to meds it seems. Just at my wits end being overwhelmed with everything.

I was in the same boat for awhile. It will get better. I speak from experience. And it sounds like you're doing all the right things now, therapy and meds. Just take things one at a time, literally! One at a time. Hang in there.

Thank you. I’m just having a really bad day in my own head. Not feeling well at all, just paralyzed with fear!

Hi and that is a tremendous load to deal with ! Sometimes we push on and on and then realize we are totally worn out. I hope things become easier in your life and you feel better soon.

Sounds like you're in the midst of an extended rough season. And you've overcome so much these last 4 years. You're doing all the right things. Persevere, keep moving forward; you'll get some breathing room. Keep coming here to vent too. Prayers bro.
