Tired

I'm just so tired of being in pain. I hurt my hand at work, only a bruised index bone but still requires so much more of me. It just hurts so much, nothing helps, nothing makes it easier. I want to scream. I'm so exhausted of fighting it, fighting to keep going. Nothing really feels worth it anymore. I keep going because I want my happily ever after, I want love and a family. But I can't even see that happening, everyone leaves. I'm left alone, always alone to keep fighting this never ending fight. I've been bursting into tears randomly all day because I'm just so past my breaking point. I don't want to feel this pain anymore. Nothing really eases it anymore. 



Just a really shitty day, trying to stay strong when I have nothing left to give.

It sounds like you're at a breaking point. I don't know everything that led up to it, but I'm sorry about whatever you're going through. Take some time to yourself to unwind and just decompress. I hope things get better for you.

I'm trying to but that's part of the problem, I feel so alone. Like what's the point when no one else actually cares. I know logically it's not true but my mind just goes there. I'm exhausted of trying to be better. I feel awful and have nothing left to give anyone, including myself.

It is so hard feeling alone and that no one else cares. And it does not help when people tell you you aren't alone or that they care. It is a vicious cycle for sure.
It sounds like you need time to focus on you which is scary and hard when you have no motivation. But when you have nothing to give to anyone else, it is because your "bucket" is empty and need to fill it back up.
Do you know where this pain stems from? A trauma?
