I'm truly sorry to hear how overwhelmed and exhausted you’re feeling. It sounds like you’ve been carrying a heavy burden, trying to maintain a facade of being okay while struggling internally. It’s incredibly difficult to put on a brave face when you’re feeling so much pain and pressure.

I want you to know that it’s okay to not be okay, and it’s important to acknowledge your feelings rather than pushing them away. Seeking help is not a sign of weakness, but a brave step towards healing. You don’t have to go through this alone, and there are people who care and want to support you.

You’ve shown tremendous strength by staying clean for two months, and that’s an accomplishment worth recognizing. It’s understandable that you’re feeling exhausted from trying to meet everyone’s expectations while neglecting your own needs. Remember, you deserve compassion and understanding, both from yourself and those around you.

Please consider reaching out to a professional or trusted person who can provide you with support and guidance. You don’t have to face this struggle alone, and there are resources and people available to help you through these tough times.

You are not defined by your struggles or how you perceive yourself. Your worth is inherent, and you are deserving of care and kindness. Please take care of yourself and reach out for the support you need.

Take care.
