@calmingBubbles82 Hi! yes I feel overwhelmed... everythings seems too much for me right now, actually a lot of things happening but I guess I just breakdown... years and years of being who solve problems.

Maybe the work and study is too overwhelming and ya need to take a break for abit.. sometimes pushing yourself too much and having limited self care can cause lots of stress..


back in 2021 I was working, studying and dealing with a loss of my child and had to find ways to soothe myself..


so I’d have a day to myself and do nothing.. when I was studying (since it was online) I’d play amsr YouTube videos to help calm the brain.. Sometimes I’d study with a glass of wine..

id even take every second Friday off from work and study so I had self care time and Sundays were a day of rest from the world and other stresses..

I hope you find something that will help you through these feelings..

we are glad you have found this app and reached out

@ghettosmurf thank you! I know that studying and working is very stressful but due to the economic situation in my country I cannot afford to slow down, it is like a vicious circle.

Many things have happened to me in life, I always tried to get ahead and not give up but a few years ago (5 years ago) my worker partner scammed us, we lost everything, we had bet everything we had in our company... we were left on the street with my partner, and if that wasn't enough we were stranded in another country due to our job (the situation where he scammed us). Our country refused to give us help, our families couldn't help us... we didn't know what to do! It wasn't even the same continent. We were able to return thanks to wonderful people but we ended up moving to a very ugly place (there is crime, theft... the people are horrible, rude, a bad place!) I think all of that damaged my mind, I couldn't find the solution anymore to nothing.

I’d say you have some ptsd and that’s why you’re experiencing these feelings..

I know it’s hard to live and you have to keep going due to cost of living and wanting your business to succeed. Is it possible to have another person help you with your job whether it be paperwork or not so that can alleviate some of the pressure and stress..

hope you find a solution to help with all your stresses..


NO MATTER YOUR OBSTACLES FROM THE PAST YOU HAVE COME THROUGH THEM BE PROUD OF YOURSELF..

@ghettosmurf Thank you very much for your words, that idea crossed my mind but I thought... that is for people who have survived really serious things in life, nothing happened to me... yes, I tend to minimize problems and believe that they do not Nothing's wrong with me, I just need to rest, that's all... I guess that's part of why I got to this point.

I am trying to reorganize my business so I can have more free time, I am at the point where there is a lot of work but I cannot afford to hire anyone (also due to the constant devaluation of my country's currency, every day you wake up knowing that your Money is worth less, I should constantly consult  the prices with suppliers before you attend clients... it's stressful). I am truly grateful to everyone who wrote to me,  do not know how good it feels to finally be able to tell without fear what is happening to me, fear of failing my family, of them feeling that I am no longer useful or let them know that im broken inside... unfounded fears I know that they support me and help me in whatever way they can and they would do it more if I let them know... but I can't stop feeling that way.
I have a problem and is that I'm very hard on myself.

How do you feel? I can understand that this is happening to me too.

@charmingGlobe107 Hi! I chated with a listener and makes me feel so much better being truly honest with someone about how I feel and whats happening to me. My trigger right now are weekends, sadly we have the worst neightbours, they are rude, loud, every weekend put music so loud that you cant hear a movie or talk into your own room, its horrible! and police do nothing.
