Struggling with floods and broken bones

Struggling with floods and broken bones

I’m struggling a lot at the moment.

I live with my family in the country, we’re currently badly affected by the floods. We’re farmers and have lots our income for potentially the next few years. My parents are so stressed and angry at everything including each other.
I was trying to help out yesterday but I fell off a vehicle and broke my arm. I obviously didn’t mean to do it, but my dad is making it seem like I did. He’s yelling at me and hasn’t once asked about the pain or if I’m okay. Mum took me to get it in a cast but it’s as if they’re blaming everything on me. My anxiety is higher than it’s been in a long time and I’m in pain. I don’t know what to do, I feel like everyone would be better off without me here…

Re: Struggling with floods and broken bones

Hello,

I’m well thank you, I hope you are too.

No need to apologise. I expect people to be busy around the holidays!

I was thinking of looking into a form of online therapy or counseling yes.

Today I built up the courage to ask my parents about me doing therapy which probably sound silly but I was anxious how they would respond.

Things are getting the slightest bit better which is good but I want to thank you and everyone else for how helpful you’ve been.

You all got me through a very dark time period in my life and I can see my mental health improving from having someone to speak to.

Thank you,

Carla
