Overwhelmed
I am so overwhelmed with life right now. All I want a do is break down and cry all the time. I suffer from anxiety and depression but usually have it under control. My dad suffered from PTSD and my aunt has been in and out of the mental hospital for extreme depression. While she was inpatient her son passed away. She was out of state so my mom took off and had to handle everything. We moved her here with us and put her in an impatient treatment and a week after that I lost my father very unexpectedly. I was very close to my dad and just miss him so much. I am trying to help my mom sell their house and take care of my family and work. My job is contract and this is about up and i don't know what to do. I just feel so worthless.... on top of that our good friends father passed away last week and I am going to his funeral today. I just don't know how I can keep going through all of this.

You are definitely not worthless dealing with all that's going on. Try and make some time for yourself,even if it's a relaxing bath, I find singing out loud to a favorite song helps. I do some coloring in too, you can get those adult doodle books really cheap and a set of gel pens. Remember that you are helping your mumand that is an achievement after all that's happening. No wonder you want to cry a lot and there is nothing wrong with crying - maybe watch a funny film or cartoon x hope you get some quality moments soon x take care x
