This is all too much.

Yes, sometimes it is all just too much. I get it. Simply start detaching from negative people and find better ones to replace them. I've found that if there is an open space/spaces there for better people, they do come along. Give yourself a break every day. Instead of drinking, go for a walk in nature, write in your journal, visit an art gallery, paint or draw a picture of your feelings. Write a letter to someone or something you're upset with and then "send it" by burning it or tearing it up. Read it out loud first! You can do many different things to create these breaks for yourself, create your own 'rituals' of breaks for yourself by doing one of the above or work on coming up your own positive ideas and have compassion for yourself. We've got to find ways to love ourselves.
