Being alone, but have times im unable to cope with

I’ve been working through a flu or something… you know when your body gives out… with cough so bad my muscles hurt in back. Been dealing for a week with meds, and tons of tissues, and making up meals.  

I already deal with chronic health limitations, so every cold wreaks such havoc… until I can’t cope.  This has been a pattern, and it’s beyond tiresome… I break down from confusion how to proceed.  

It’s a years long history now, and family has been a double edged sword, has broken my heart so I avoid them.  I have even tried hiring elder support care…but issues there. 

Tonight I can’t sleep, again.  Weeks have been going poorly since cr@ppy holidays.  Then I get the flu. 

I can’t always cope. Were told we should be able to be alone.  Well over and over I get into these trying times, that I just cannot cope.  I have sought help all around, … humans are flawed, misunderstandings, … so I am still dealing on my own… and yet I still can’t cope.  So another crisis.  On my own.  It’s unbearable.  I don’t understand how to do this, I don’t understand the plan, or approach.  I’ve heard a lot of uplifting sayings, alternative thoughts to life, expectations… yet I still cannot find a good place.  On my own is not a good plan.

@SparklySeas49  In my older years I find the flu and other respiratory illnesses much harder on me. I’m sorry to hear that you are going through this on your own.

@SparklySeas49 I'm sorry, it's quite difficult to cope with some events that happen to us and it's tiring when they are things that happen often. 

So sorry you are going through this.


Hope you are feeling better and on the mend.

You are not alone. Chronic issues definitely makes it tougher. 🤗

Families can be complex.


it can be overwhelming one day at a time.
