Hi @2much-4me, and welcome to the forums

I’m really sorry you’re feeling so exhausted and overwhelmed right now.

It’s understandable that you’re feeling like you’re running out of strength

Hello@2much-4me,

Sorry to hear that you have gone through so much. Sounds like you have taken on other family member's problems and held everyone together. That is a lot to take on at your age. You can no longer take on any more, your nervous system is under heavy strain. That can result in trauma over time, when something repeatedly happens that is incredibly stressful or threatens your safety. You need a lot of rest and most of all support. If things feel very hard or unsafe please call your mental healthline in your area.they will come out to see you. Please go see a local GP to get mental health support. You need to start saying NO MORE to people even if they are family. You are on verge of collapse and deserve compassion and care especially at your age People need to be looking after you, not you looking after them. Be very gentle on yourself sending many hugs 🤗 You could also call Centrelink and ask to speak to a social worker as they have a lot of support services.

Your words sound so overwhelming and a helluvlot to go through in your time, it's time to say no to the asks from family and friends, because at the end of each day you are all you have. Please seek your doctor's help or mental health line, your health is important and you need rest, there is help available you have done a brave action by reaching out to the forum here. Sending lots of hugs your way.
