I feel like this is all too much and I don't know what to do. I can't rely on my family for support because we're not close, we're all dysfunctional, and most of us have been at least semi-estranged for as long as I can remember. Most of the people in my life just can't believe most of what I tell them about my life because it's hard for them to imagine that one person can get hit with so many things at once. I feel like I could sleep for a month but I have insomnia and can't do that. Ugh I just want to quit everything. I'm so tired of adulting.
That is a heavy burden to carry. Do you have a Therapist you could talk to? Called the Crisis line? School counselor? Just deal with one at a time, get some rest and eat a balance diet of good foods, drink plenty of liquids, like water. Do something relaxing or that you enjoy. There's people here that will support you.
