Idk what to do.

Idk what to do.

Hi

Honestly not sure how I got here, my life just seems so hard right now.

I know I should feel lucky I have a healthy baby and husband but I feel like life is never enough. Can't afford to do anything, always late with rent and pushing other overdue bills back every fortnight. Just making ends meet most of the time.

Today we had a fight as I had hoped we could go for a family drive but yet again that requires money for fuel and then the weather gets too hot and we can't live spontaneously so that leads to if you're not happy just divorce me.

I love my husband but he always goes straight to if you don't like it leave. I'm sure he will leave me eventually especially now I gave him a son he doesn't need me for anything anymore.

I just feel so alone and lost and fed up with life.

I'm always expected to deal with the baby aswell even when I have work shifts I still have to come home and care for him.

I dont know how much more I can take

Re: Idk what to do.

I've been dealing with a lot of reminders about my past. My life has involved a series of traumas due, in part to mental health problems & all that comes with it.

Currently I'm not working and that's got me feeling a sense of loss.

Today i haven't done much in the way of positive activities. I've been ruminating a lot.

It's hard when you have a lot of past trauma and people keep bringing it up. It adds to reliving it over & over. Unfortunately I don't have a choice to escape this because of some of the things I have to tackle.

I come from a dysfunctional family where they are not a source of support. I have a small cohort of friends.

I get scared and overwhelmed sometimes just taking stock of all I've been through.

Thanks for checking in with me.
