just want to scream! I’m struggling so much but keeping it all tucked safely away most of the time but panic attacks and feelings that I could crumble at any moment keep popping up to remind me that I’m not okay, I’m far from it. Apparently I need to eat, but I don’t want to. I shouldn’t self injure, but it helps. (Temporarily).

All I want to do is be there for my partner who is not only going though cancer, but now also a custody battle for his 3 children.

Im trying, but I feel helpless.

I love my Job and I’m good at it (the only time I can say that I’m good at something) I’ve worked really hard to get where I am but I am just being used at the moment and filling in staffing gaps at their choice. Fed up and exhausted.

Meds are just part of my routine these days, then again so is insomnia...

Don’t bottle it up. Scream into a pillow if necessary. Punch your mattress if you have to. Let it out

Divorce can be very stressful. Certainly it would be in the interest of everyone to discuss resolution. That can be hard because lawyers are valued based on their supposed toughness and empathy with their client, so they tend to say what the client wants to hear.

Please try not to hurt yourself. If you are helping your company, do realize that you are doing an important service for them.

Noone’s getting divorced, although I get what your saying, my partner and the mother of his 3 children have been split for a long time now. They have simply got to the age now where they understand more and want to be with dad.
I’m just tired of feeling like I’ll never be good enough

Hi Mjay13, You are always capable of growing, developing, and maturing beit at a different pace than others but that's ok. I can understand the feelings of exhaustion. It seems like you need some r&r. Do you have some time you could take off and just treat yourself? Go get a spa treatment (use a groupon). Get a manicure/pedicure, take yourself out to lunch, or hang out with friends on the weekend? Everyone needs time alone to refresh, recharge, and just relax.

Thanks for your comments. I understand the need for rest and relaxation but I simply don’t feel safe in my own company. I’m trying to keep distractions and deflection ticking me over. X
