Everything is just on top of me at the moment... it seems like everything is happening on top of each other to make it harder and harder.. from my work computer going kaputt with all my work stuff on it.. to my vacuum cleaner not working properly.. to some problems at work and bills for court costs... and thats on top of trying to survive a 'normal' day. im exhausted and theres so little that i've got any control over but have to find solutions for that just arent possible. my youngest has special needs (reactive attachment disorder/autism) and has gotten overwhelmed with the start of school this term and so he is imploding and on top of that he's sick with a gastro bug. i cant seem to help anything, everything i do is wrong in everything. i'm exhausted in every way and cant sleep either. im so scared to talk to anyone because of the family court stuff... im so tired of this struggle.. ive been here so many times.. and life gets harder and just comes back around to be like this.. get through one family court thing and theres another hearing in a few months.. fix one thing and theres 10 more

Re: nothing changes

@Former-Member - it must be International Vaccum Failure year. Mine died last week too.

So sorry to hear everything is packing up, I always find these things come in waves, and if I was superstitious (which I am not) I would wonder how I could have a broken laptop, two broken solid state back up drives, a broken bottle of olive oil, a broken mug, a broken glass and a broken vaccum cleaner all in the space of a week. It all feels very unravelling. The wobblier I get the wobblier everything around me gets, it seems.

Hope your little guy's gastro upset has resolved and he find his even keel again soon. You sound exhausted. The court stuff is a huge impost and must feel impossible - damned if you do seek help - damned if you don't.

I hope you find your footing again very soon. One day at a time Lisa Jane.

Hi @MoonGal

Thanks so much for your post, My lil boy is better, he's a lot brighter, but still a bit drained and tired.. but being 5... has no notion of the idea of slowing down for a few days and so over does it and gets super cranky.. but glad its the weekend and having some quiet time here and there.

I'm struggling with what is the point of everything... what is the purpose of my life... it feels like its just to endure pain.. im tired of being told that my strength is being resilient through so much crappy stuff.. i dont want to have to be resilent and its so pointless.. the fact that i have just continued tobreathe through being stomped on over and over really isnt a strength its just a fact of life that the body keeps going... my mind certainly hasnt come through unscathed...

yesterday i found out a person that i dont know very well through my work (but not employed by work at all) has been accused of some nasty things.. i hope its not true but feeling like the world is just so full of evil stuff and i just wish i could not be a part of it.
