Running on empty

I spiralled into a deep depression today and slept most of the day. I had been doing well but my daughter told me her sister wants us out of this house. I'm waiting on SSI and a settlement from an accident. Because it's taking so long I feel worthless and I don't know what to do from here. My kids are adults but I still feel responsible.

How are you holding up at the moment?

I stayed up and went grocery shopping with my daughter and her boyfriend. I did pretty well today but went to sleep about 6 hours ago. No dinner when I woke up which is not surprising. I'll eat soup or something. I am tired but trying not to let my brain take over.

I hope these comments not just by me, but by everyone else in this comment section help a little or a lot. It shows that even in these dark times, us humans know how to support one another, despite not knowing a lot about each other. Stay safe. ❤️

You're not worthless and just because we are adults it doesn't mean we have to have this whole life thing figured out. We are all learning in life.

Hi. I am new but wanted to say hello.. Maybe ignore them, or simply tell/re-tell them you'll be moved when the SSI and settlement happen. Is there something wrong with the house?

Since the comments weren't directly to me, I do ignore them. The house is fine and the daughter with me works her butt off to make the payments.
