I feel really bad today guys. like the struggle is just becoming waayyy to much for me. i need someone to help me and be here for me. i don't think i can keep going on the way i have been, it's too hard. i don't konw what to do. i can't keep calling in sick to work or i'll lose my job. just crashing and despair and all that.. physical exhaustiion, worry and fear about the future and growing old alone.. it's just too hard. i need to stop.

Hey Wendy, I'm sorry you're struggling so hard right now. It sounds like life is really challenging for you at the moment. I'm wondering if you have ever considered seeing a counselor or therapist? It could be really helpful, and you definitely deserve the support. Just something to think about. I hope things get easier for you soon.

I’m sorry Wendy. I’ve had depression for many years, wondered the same thing, “how am I going to live in my skin for one more day!?” Somehow I have. I am 52 now. The thing that has helped me the most after all this time, is treating myself with a lot of love. It’s the best thing I’ve ever done. I think of my emotions as a child and treat them with love. When I have the opportunity, I even lie down and wrap my arms around myself and just let God love me, or let myself have loving thoughts about myself, like, “everything is going to be alright”. Or just cry. I stopped the negativity and self criticism. I don’t know if you do that, and I apologize if you don’t, but I did. I had to stop, it was killing me. You know, the, “what is wrong with me!!” “Oh my gosh, I need to get it together!!!” Or “I’m so stupid!!” Now it’s sooo different and a lot of that inner pain is gone. Be your own loving parent. The best one you can think of. ❤️
