I've always wondered if there are people out there like, I'm hopeless in life everyday has to end up with a scandal, I don't even have the ability to think anymore I always cry myself to sleep everyday, I got six siblings to look after my mother left us I don't have a job that pays me enough my salary its only for putting food on the table, I can't even find a decent job, I don't know maybe I'm just overeating am I?

I wouldn't use hopeless to describe someone working to feed six siblings. Are they young? If so, you should be able to access financial support - are you in the UK? I overeat when I'm feeling depressed. Weight gain is always a tell-tale sign that my mood is dipping x

Da youngest is 8 an I'm in S.A

Well I am not surprised you feel like this with 6 siblings to care for. Do you have to work? Where do you live?

I'm sorry but I haven't a clue about the system in S A (South Africa? Saudia Arabia?). Or what if any help you can claim. I don't know if there is anyone else here from SA. Are there any local services which can help you? Maybe your doctor knows of some? x

Hello I hope some of us can be of help to you , I know that we all will be supportive. Do you know where your Mother is ? Can she be made to be responsible for her children? Can you go to the police or a social service organization ? If she doesn't want to raise her kids she should at least be financially responsible. Maybe you could make some phone calls and find out what is available to you. . I know this is hard to do , but you be better off down the road. Pam
