I can't take it anymore! The pain, the worry, the fear, etc. I haven't really enjoyed life for a long time. My whole life has been difficult. I cruelly picked on all through school. My mother was severe alcholic so her and dad fought all the time. She drank herself to death in 1993. Many of my work experiences were disasters. I've been stabbed in the back by my people who I thought loved and cared for me. My son has ADHD and aspergers and is a huge handful. It is very stressful raising. It don't have the mental or physical strength to deal with him properly. His stepdad works 6 days a weeks so I'm alone alot. The thing that is pushing me over the edge is that my husband, who is the representative payee for my Social Security, has made a mistake with it. He was under the impression that they didn't his info. His pay has been basically the same for a long time except for when he was laid off but because he thinks Social Security doesn't want his info., He didn't report about getting unemployment or when he get hired at a new job. He gets paid about the same at his current job as he did his old job. Because of his assumption, 1 or both of us could get in trouble. I can't believe he did that.
I can't handle anymore crisis! I've been dealing with high stress most of my life and I'm tired. My brain is tired and so is my body. I very little motivation.
I don't want to hurt my family such as my son, husband, dad, brother and others. It is just that I take the pain and frustration of living anymore. My life is filled with huge disappointments and crushing failures and I doubt it will get any better. If I knew my life would turn out like this, I would of made sure I succeed in killing myself.
The world doesn't need me anymore. It has already beaten me up already. I can't go through anymore failures. Most of my life I've been living for other people doing what they wanted. I'm too afraid to keep living life just waiting for the next crisis. I'm tire of being alive.

I find myself going places in the car and not wanting to get out of the car. I come back home and I don't want to get out of the car. I think it's the only time I spend reflecting. Chronic tiredness from Long Covid plus the immunosupressing meds for my Crohn's is slowing me down but everything just seems a massive effort. I am dealing with the paperwork following my father's death but it's not...

Wow, it's the middle of the week already!Today is our 11 year anniversary, so we're going out to a nice dinner. I'm losing a lot of sleep these days, hence a wonky schedule and uncomfortable feelings. But I know it will pass, eventually.I hope all of you have a peaceful day, and may good things come your way!

I expect the SS can be sorted but I can see it is one more worry.
It will seem trite but you do seem generally depressed..I'm wondering if the lithium is not really holding your mood. Can you talk with your psychiatrist?
Sometimes we look at our life's accomplishments like they are meaningless. However, the smallest contribution can be hugely beneficial. Giving somebody a hug, telling somebody you love them or cooking somebody pancakes could save the whole world.
That is based of the theory of the "butterfly effect" that the smallest actions can have huge impact.
I think you should call your Pdoc right away or go to the ER to get some help. Nobody on this earth has ever succedded without help from others.
You have been stabbed in the back but you have persevered through it all. You are a good person who deserves high praise for everything you have done. Therefore I send you praise and hugs.
l would even recommend you going into hospital your son would be looked after by the state until you were well enough to go home, its better for you to rest and feel better than crack and leave everyone forever. l know your son would not understand or like it but at least you would come back to him. Have you thought of placing your son in a home or is that too hard?
You still have other choices that give you a chance instead of the finality of death and l really do feel that with all you're going through you need a break sooner rather than later so at least think about calling your Dr or a hospital and taking a time out.
Don't stop fighting, you've overcome so much!
Hugs,
Jennifer
You are obviously a strong, intelligent woman and with some help and encouragement and maybe some shoulders to cry on, you will be just fine soon.
Offering my shoulder, if you need it.,
