Overwhelmed to the MAX!!!
I don’t know how much more I can take! Today was the moldy icing on the cake!! I took Monday and Tuesday off work bc it’s been overwhelming!! Then Tuesday my friends son got hit by a car and is in critical condition. Wednesday I went to my families big house and got super triggered and had a panic attack. They all live together btw ALL TEN of them!!! I’ve always been on the outside of my family and seeing them together it’s a constant reminder! Then TODAY!!!! I do a half day of work and go and meet with a new counselor. Answer alllllll the hard depressing questions. Only to leave and get a message from my son’s school that they are locked down bc of an issue outside the school. To drive up and the entire neighborhood surrounding the school to be barricaded off. I’m talking dozens of streets. Bc there was an active SHOOTER outside the elementary school!! I was stuck in my car flipping out for two hours!!! Only for my husband to continue to NOT ask about my friends son. For him to NOT comfort me after my panic attack. And then for him to rather text me then talk to me on the phone during the lockdown! I DONT know how I’m going to scrape up enough energy to continue on. This has been a stressful week! And I’m reminded of all the friends I DONT have!
First of all let me say you are very resilient. It takes all lot of strength to go through all that. I’ve been having a similar feeling of having constant stress and panic and feeling like no one is there. That’s why I downloaded this app. I also called a hotline and reached out to old friends (who I didn’t expect to help me but they still did). It’s helpful to me to just have anyone to talk to. I also have a partner that I feel like hasn’t been there as much as I need them to be. Personally I plan to have a sit down talk with them and try to be as direct as possible as to why I’m upset and what I want from them to help me.
Thank you for understanding. I never want anyone to ever go through anything similar to what I deal with. But it is refreshing to have someone who gets it.

@selahgrayce I'm so sorry you've had to deal with all of that, let alone all within one week. That's more stress than anyone should have to deal with in a week. But as was already said, you are a strong resilient person! I'm sure you've gotten through stuff in the past, and you'll get through this too!
