Scared

I feel so responsible for everything.  I want to fix all mine and my sons problems but everything is so hard.  When I try to get help, I don't get any feed back.  I know a lot of that is because of Covid-19. 


I'm lonly because I don't really have friends nearby.  I have my boyfriend who I love and cherish.  He lives an hour away.  He's one the only people whose understanding when I'm depressed.


I feel so worthless and tired.  I'm expiriencing such dibilitating fatigue that I made a dr.'s appt. on the 3rd.  It's a video on.  I'm not sure how well that will work.


I wish I get the people I live with to understand how much pain I'm in.

Sorry to read Jenn that not much good is happening in your life....telephone dr apt? psy/or physical dr? You might want to get a good physical and some blood work done to rule out anything medical. I take a multi vit, plus vit d3 because not much sun light in the cold months. As for your son and his gmother, you can lead a horse to water, but you can't make them drink. I sincerly doubt they will ever change and you wanting them to is just hurting you more and more...best now to look at what is Good For You.,..as far as getting help from social services for your son, well it's the squeaky wheel that gets the attention...persistance!

Hi-I’m so sorry to hear that you are having a rough time. It’s good that you reached out. Online support groups like this can help you to feel less lonely and not alone. I hope you will find comfort here. Continue to share about anything.

If you have a friend that you can talk to and trust with how you feel, it would be great. I have a sister who was diagnosed with anxiety, she refused treatments but she has a very dependable support group. Her mood is improving now and I am thankful for that.

I hope you can get the help you need and you will feel better soon. Praying for you and for your son. Please keep us posted. God bless.

I agree with ML. We can try to explain to family members until we are blue in the face, but they are very unlikely to change. I think most of us have experienced this. Unless they have been in our shoes, they will not fully get it. It may be best, or at least easiest, and less stressful to be okay with getting support and understanding from friends and online support groups like this one.

Gentle hug sweetie..... You can't fix and control everything sweetie... and not for everyone..

I like to drop things in my God box..... Maybe ask yourself when you're struggling with control whether or not this is something that you have any control over or not??

I am more tired now as well.... I think that many of us are.... We are in such difficult times... I feel for you.... Big hug....xo

    Ever since I stopped doing therapy because of insurance, I've been feeling that old tense and irritable sense of anxiety and stress. I hate that. I was making so many strides and changes during therapy, my therapist would acknowledge all of my progress and accomplishments, and I miss that reassurance. Today I thought about it, and I made those changes! She would always tell me that I chose to...
