Something’s not right

really struggling

really struggling

im really really struggling and i dont know what to do.

im tired and worn out and purely exhausted and so overwhelmed

ive recently been dagnosed with 4 mental health conditions and insomnia.

im caring for everyone and they still seem to expect more and more but i literally have nothing left to give. im completley worn out! and when i say everyone i mean my pop, my siblings, and my mum. my pop im actually a carer for so that i completelty done mind but why am i the only one making an effort elsewhere.

i literally have no friends, the only family i have are the above meantioned and i know its the not the end all but it would be nice it have just little bit of support as at the moment i literraly have nothing.

im working as both a carer and i also like a pet sitter but i only do horses. so in general i rug feed, treat wounds if neccessary ride, clean paddocks etc while people are on holidays only kind of busy trhough easter xmas and other special occasions. as well as cring for my own horses

i feel sick all the time, i shake like a leaf and im having trouble controllling anything and everything. i just cant handle it. its too much and i do know what to do about it

Hi @Former-Member

It's good that you are contacting the helpline, on webchat by the sound of it. Sometimes the webchat connections are not strong and dropout.

Maybe you feel a bit of relief now. Good to focus on winding down and getting some sleep. A bath or shower before bed? Relaxing music or TV? Try to stay away from your sisters tonight and just focus on winding down.

Cheers,

Frog

Re: really struggling

I was tormented with it constantly for a very long time ...

Now I can honestly say it is about weekly ..

when things are going really well ... I may not even think about it for 2-3 months.

Any ideas on how i can cope tomorrow? I know im going to have very bad anxiety tomorrow so im going to need a strategy or two i think

In response to: Re: really struggling

Re: really struggling

Sounds like a few generations in a paddock ... and that you are a horsey family ..

Sometimes we share too much and need space in families too.

Its scary talking about SH and SI but in the long run it is better .. to be able to get it out .. rather than stay secretive about it.

In response to: really struggling

Re: really struggling

Yeah ive had horses and was riding before i could walk and mum had them as a teenager and now my sisters have them

I dont like to talk about sh or sl that much as im pretty embarrassed about it.
