I get that @Sunnyside226 sometimes it feels there's is so much pain inside that there aren't enough tears in the world to relieve the sadness. I don't feel that you're a waste of time, but I feel the same way on bad days.

You asked what the point is... can I ask what keeps you going when you feel this way?

@the-alchemist my partner keeps me going

I want to do something

I did last night after I finished chatting to @Jynx I mean it was like 2 In the morning I called Lifeline we spoke for 2 hours because she didn't want to leave me I can't handle this on my own

Nobody understands the pain I feel like a just not enough

You don't have to talk to me if you don't want to I am sure you guys are busy

It sounds like you've got a loving partner @Sunnyside226 my partner and family keep me going too. You mentioned that you can't handle this on your own and y'know I don't think we were made to handle life on our own. Us humans have always survived and thrived in groups + communities. I try to remind myself of that when my brain tries to convince me that I should just be able to juggle everything on my own.

We're never too busy to sit with a valued community member and show support. You are not a burden to us ❤️ I'll be logging off for the evening at 8pm but I'm here until then to listen. I hope to see more of you in the future too 🙂

@the-alchemist isn't that In a hour? For you?

I am trying keep everyone happy my brother and sister both of them had meltdowns today on the phone to me

My sister called in 69 times in one hour

Now I am having a big big meltdown I am trying not to do anything but I just can't cope

May I ask why you wanted to chat to me? @the-alchemist

That is in 15 minutes where I am @Sunnyside226

Gosh, no wonder you're feeling exhausted and like you can't do it all on your own. Sounds like you're giving a lot to your siblings and no matter how much we love our family, we all have limits and times when it's too much, especially on top of our own emotions.

You're doing a great job of keeping your head above water by reaching out here, even if it doesn't feel like enough to cope. Do you have any strategies for when you feel like way? For example, when I have a big meltdown, I try to go back to basics to cope - have a hot/cold shower to bring myself back into my body/out of my mind, eat a yummy meal, watch a comfort T.V show etc.

Yes, you can ask that - I want to chat with you because it's in my nature to try my best to help people feel less alone. When I read that you felt alone it reminded me of times where I've felt so alone having little interactions with people helped me process what I was feeling and gave me hope that I can get through another day.

Bye @the-alchemist

Bye @Sunnyside226 and thank you for opening up to me this evening. I truly hope to chat with you again in the future.

Hi @Sunnyside226

It can be so tough when we get designated as the go-to emotional support for our family members. Though its important to be there for them, remember to look after yourself too. They come to you because you're a good listener, and there for them - be there for yourself also.

I hear it when you say you're trying to do nothing. The nervous energy of emotional overwhelm can be a lot. When you say you're trying to do nothing, is there any hobbies you enjoy which you could use to fill that time and redirect that energy?

Be kind to yourself, you are loved :))

@Xibon I've already done everything

It's ok I just made a mess of myself

Bye

@Sunnyside226

I understand.

It's awful that you feel you've made a mess of yourself, but you're not a mess on here :))

Goodbye, take care.
