Please just need someone to hear me

Hi. From time to time I go through these periods where I truly think I’m losing my mind. I am so stressed I cannot focus or function. My eyesight is blurry, I can’t stop shaking, my heart is racing. I have nobody to talk to to bring me back to reality and reel me back in...I am supposed to be the strong one in my family. I need someone to lean on sometimes though. Please just let me know somebody hears me.

Sounds like possibly anxiety attacks? I know it gets old being the strong one. I get tired of it myself. Hope it gets better today.

Im the strong one in my family too. I hear you and I know it sucks. Sometimes just breaking down screaming and crying in front of everyone helps. Chances are, even if they don't openly admit it, your friends family and coworkers know you are the strong one and pile more on you because they are lazy asses and know you can handle it. If you break down in front of them and they actually give a shit, sometimes they will realize they need to pull their weight more.
Also check out 16personalities.com and see which you are. I took this test and came out a logistician sentinel personality. It said this type often gets taken advantage of. It helped me understand myself and be more mindful of those around me.

Have you had a medical check up within the last year? If not, I recommend you get one. Tell the doctor what you have posted.

We're all here for you! It's a great place for support, no one judges. I just got back on here after taking a long break and it's been helpful again. Hope you get the support you need!

You are being heard and you can feel free to contact me if you want or need to. It is very hard being the strong one in a group and it's nice to know that someone (anyone) out there has your back. You might want to make a doctor appointment just to make sure you are okay physically and/or make an appointment with a therapist. But we are here and I hope you get the support that you need.

    Just thought I would join this group now that I am a widower.  My wife passed away May 28th. She was "The Wind Beneath My Wings".  When I met her, I was a drunken, dope smoking, fighting, hell raising biker.  She told me if I could get rid of the inner storm within me, that I could be a blessing to people. God placed her in my path to stop me.  I have been drug and alcohol free now for 53...

    My husband and I got our foster license last month, after 3 years of hard work (we had to start over multiple times due to family dramas and Mom's open heart surgery). We spent a year preparing the whole house, guest rooms, and children's bathroom for older kids of 7 yr old and up. Then we got a call that we have been approved to receive twin newborn premies. What, what?!! Babies!? Premies?!...
