I am feeling pretty insignificant right now.
I have been so stressed and anxious these last 10 weeks I now find myself additionally depressed and exhausted - and I've been unabale to rely on my usual supports.
As I mentioned elsewhere those around me are affected by their own stresses and crises. Most of these are pretty major. But mine are major too. I just feel unable to share because 1) I don't want to dump on everyone while they are already down, and 2) I don't want people to think I'm attention seeking. I want to shout 'stop!' amongst it all and let people know I need help too. Instead, I have been drawn in to being everyone else's support and I feel as though I am about to crumble from taking on their pressures with my own.
I am just so down. I'm sad - about them, about me.
