I just can't even proceed. Probably will try to rest for a couple of days. My brain is melted

Listen to your body. If you feel burnt out then it’s definitely time to unplug and unwind. Sleep well and try taking a couple days to do things that bring you peace.

For me, I love reading with a glass of wine or a cup of tea by my side, taking my dogs to the park, or simply watching a good series on Netflix.

Whatever it is, remember that YOU are important and you must take care of yourself.

Hope this helps. ❤️

I call that 1 of those days or week that you reach your limit and just had enough. Feeling the same tonight and broke down, but it’s good to vent and get back up to fight again the next day. Everything just gets too much. Here if you want to vent

Everybody needs time away. So it's perfectly fine Go take a couple of days to yourself. You don't owe anybody here an explanation to take some time to get your my right. Go relax, watch your favorite movie 100 times over again, if you have a big enough tub go take a bubble bath. And if you don't like baths just chill out on the bed. Do you. And sending you happy thoughts and well wishes. Hope you come back refresh and feeling better ❣️🫂🙏🏽

back after 11 months of being away, my mother came back into my life to live with me last May. Then I moved country, after so many years of this fight I am at the hardest place. I have ever been. Lost my vision in both eyes at different radiuses, attacks were caused by unnecessary emotional distress. Then repeat attacks on each eye at different times , then the hands and legs all due to emotional stress and she came after I had disc replacement surgery to make my life easier. I ran out of anxiety emergency medication 2 weeks in and have not got a refill yet. So it’s been hell. Got rid of the old wheel chair when I moved but I got myself out of it a year ago, off any canes or sticks until the stress got too much and I can’t balance on either leg now. That was the last attack recently. Bought a new chair, well I asked her to and have been using my stick since 2 days ago. To be fair I needed to start using it 6 weeks ago but stubbornness and pride would not let me. She really does not understand the damage she has caused in attacking me emotionally and forcing me to do more then I could ever handlehas caused so much new damage and it is not reversible.

😖 Those are the worst. What color is it?(I'm joking with you, but please tell me if you want me to stop since I know some people are genuinely afraid of bugs and other insects)

As a single mom with two kids and major depression the last ten years have been absolutely exhausting. Existing with depression that is unmanaged plus going to work, financial struggles, raising a child with mental illness and trying to protect the other from all that goes with that life, I hit a wall, for three months, no sleep, COULD not leave the house, I retreated. Now, if all I am capable of on a weekend is the dogpark and a dunkin drive through that is all i do and that is just fine. No one and I mean no one but my kids, will get me to give up that sanctuary voluntarily. You need to do more of it and realize that it's necessary and a form of medication. You must listen to your mind, your body.
