Cornered
They say Im smart. Im being looked up to at work. My friends adore me. I give advices all the time. People reach out to me and I hear them out. Overall, Im one of the nicest peeps they say.
But..i have issues. Of all the issues to have, mine is with the root of all evil — money. I hate it. I cant accept it. We all need money. I went into a spending spree for a year. Now im cornered. I need to pay in due time and Im losing my mind. I cant sleep. I cant work. Sorry, I might disgust you of my issue.. :( but im lost now. No one can help me. Im cornered and I dont know what to do.
Smart? Nah, Im so stupid to splurge anyway. I have an above average salary but still fall short. Even if i cut my expenses i would still fall short. Now I want to cry. For some its just money but its killing me. I want to start over but how? I cant think of anything at all. I pity my parents most esp my mom. I shouldve been like the normal people who spoils their parents to give back.. and i hate myself for not being able to do that. My parents deserve a good life. I couldve done it—but i chose to spend for myself.
Right now i think im going crazy..senseless thoughts come right through me, regrets..and..the wanting of me being gone. I want to be gone..i dont want to give my family a problem. Thats all i am, a problem. They knew me differently. For them i am a normal smart girl. But my mind screams and my heart is weeping at my situation right now. I cant smile. Id do anything to get out of this.. but how.. i cant even tell anyone. I told a friend and she said some things..and im all alone again. Is this a mental breakdown? Or anxiety? Panic? I dont know. All i know is..i want this to end, no matter what it takes. I have never thought of hurting myself..no. I cant give my family that, i dont want them to suffer. But i think im breaking down…………….. i feel something in my head and my heart…and feel like crying but cant.

Hello,
I agree with you in saying that money is the root of all evil.
I hear you, it is hard not to splurge on ourselves.
I'm sorry you are feeling regret.
I'm sure your parents understand <3 💛💫
This too shall pass. Be brave. You can learn from your mistakes and create a better future. At this time it might be hard for you to feel this because you are in a state of panic but once you tap into the calmer strength inside you, the one that made you capable of earning high, the same power will help you correct what you have learnt. Don't be hard on yourself please. Sending you love.
