First time here...long overdue

Today was the day that broke the camels back. Ive held it in for years. Much stress, depression, and anxiety. So much that it causes me seizures. I kept strong,smiled, done what is needed for myself and others. I have been the healer, the confider, the teacher, the supporter , the friend, the wife, the mother, the daughter, the co-owner, the animal lover, the estimator,the accountant, the receptionist, the driver, the cook,the maid, the granddaughter, the daughter in law, the pool cleaner, and the landscaper...........and dealing with all the problems and drama that go with it. I'm depleted,that sucked me dry. Not much in return,not even thank you. I'm hanging my hat. I'm done. No more to give.

Sorry you dealing with all that. Sounds like you are past the point of being overwhelmed. Do you have anyone to confide in or talk to ? Do you have a therapist or counselor? Is there a way for you to take a step back and have some 'me' time?? Does your partner/spouse help at all? You shouldn't be expected to do everything. Hope things get better for you!

Hello and welcome to the group, I hope you find it helpful and supportive for you. Sounds like you need to focus on taking care of yourself instead of others and put yourself first like the analogy- put your own mask on before helping others in an airplane emergency, because you're no good without it. If you're not, you might find a good therapist to talk to or a support group near you.
