Totally overwhelmed and frozen with fear
Hello, iam not sure how to start, I have been diagnosed with central nervous system exhaustion,and a complicated depression combined with deep grief. I was a carer for my sister who had an intellectual disability, she died from cancer just over a year ago, at the same time I was taking care of my mum who had health issues as well as grieving her daughter, she died a few months ago, I am now facing having to sell her house which will mean moving, my older sister is supportive but my brother does not recognise mental health issues in any way, he just screams at me to grow up ,get over it ,it's happened move on. Iam seeing a psychologist that is helping but I feel like any progress iam making is being undone by my family. He did the barest minimum for the last six years, and wasn't there for all the sleepless nights and ugliness of palliative care, he would have to be the most unevolved human I have ever met . My problem at the moment is I can't move in any direction, drowning in sadness and negativity, cannot see any future other than loneliness isolation and wondering what the hell is the point in doing anything.
