Greetings, Brother's / Sister's, Father's / Mother's,As I'm sitting in my small apartment, surrounded by the familiar sounds of the city outside. But despite the hustle and bustle, I feel trapped. The weight of responsibility is crushing me.

My little brother and Mother depends on me for everything - food, shelter, education. His school fees are due, and I'm struggling to make ends meet. The rent is overdue, and the landlord is threatening to evict us.

I feel like I'm drowning in a sea of bills and responsibilities. I've been working multiple jobs just to keep our heads above water, but it's not enough. The stress is taking a toll on my mental health, and I feel like I'm losing myself in the process.

My brother looks up to me, and I want to provide for him, to give him the life he deserves, giving my Mama what she deserves, But it's hard when it feels like the whole world is against us.

As I sit here, feeling hopeless and alone, I wonder if anyone will ever read my story and decide to help. Will anyone care enough to lend me a heart and ears?

I'm not asking for much, though it's much at my side. Just a counselling session.. Is that too much to ask?

If you're reading this, please know that I'm not just statistics or faces in the crowd. I'm a real human being, struggling to make survival for my family. And your opinions, may help me Out of this thanks....

It is wonderful that you are doing so much for your family. You have to take care of yourself too. Please focus on self care. Find ways to take care of your own needs too. Have you tried any stress reduction techniques like breathing exercises, mindfulness, or meditation? You can find out how to do all of those with YouTube videos. Those are just some suggestions. Find what works for you.
