The thing is I just don't know I feel like I'm on auto pilot and can't wake from it. Tried crying I couldn't. Everything is going at this time I just don't know what it is. Maybe I'm triggered from buying a car and just feel like everything thing might fall apart I guess. I can't feel this way I have so many that count on me. I can't barely sleep I go to sleep around 3 wake up at 5 and start my day just going through the haze.

With that tiny amount of sleep and over a period of time anyone would start to struggle with trying to be normal. If I was you I'd call in sick to work and try to speak to my doctor. Noone can function like that x

Unfortunately I've been like this for awhile I don't work tomorrow but have a dentist. I did reach out for help a few days ago on better help online services. But the soonest I can see the therapist is the 23rd. I really just don't feel like I'm going to make it that long 😕

Desperate times call for Desperate measures. Is there anywhere you can go to get away for a few days? Change is everything sometimes. A different view can give you a different view If you get me x

Thanks for saying that x and I know you'll make it till the 23rd now by your reply. You are obviously feeling shit right now but your priorities are 10 out of 10 x you have a son who you put first and also you are trying to help yourself with your problems , Your already on the right path and I hope it helps that a stranger can see that x

I'm glad x and that's what this site is for x I've been really down and not wanted to talk to friends or family but always found some comfort at HU x

LostNormality in reply to Ellamaye

I'm glad I could find this place. I have no friends and all the family I have I take care of and they count on me so so much and I do my best to divide my time between everyone but I know I don't make nearly the time for myself or even know how to. I've literally never done something for me because I just don't know how to I guess.

And at this current time I just don't have the funds I put everything into this vehicle I desperately needed.

Ellamaye profile image
Ellamaye in reply to LostNormality

The vehicle is obviously a big issue and probably happened at a tough time but you can overcome this obstacle. I know it won't be the worst thing to ever occur in your life so please try to think of it as just another problem that you can overcome x

Oh no it's an amazing thing I've been through so so much bad stuff that most people have never gone threw in a whole life time. This should be an amazing time why do I feel this way. I've fought for this. Through so many years of physical, mental, and verbal abuse addiction. I lost the person who used to help me and then 6 months later lost my soul mate my husband I was ready to give everything up but my grandson was born and it's sad I use him to keep going .

Ellamaye in reply to LostNormality

I'm so sorry you lost your husband and at the same time I'm happy you had your soul mate x it's rarer than you think to actually find your person x Life is so full of difficulties though and it's hard to get perspective somedays ,

I hope I've helped abit anyway
