Just venting.
I hate that I have no one, IRL, that gets what Im going through. No one but you guys know. My thoughts are broken and I cant even clean my house. Im just a mess. I feel like Im going to crack. I want to be admitted, but my sister and my husband need me. Im all they have. My sister is 2 months pregnant and this is the farthest shes gone without miscarriage and she has Crohns and her bf is a POS. Theyve been together 13 years and hes acting like this pregnancy is a burden. Imho, I think hes just not wamting to get attached to the baby due to the past miscarriages, but laying out drunk all the time isnt helping my sister. Then my husband may have to have his intestines either removed or dilated due to scarring in there so I gotta be there for him. I need help. But my sister and I only have eachother and my husbands family dont care what goes on with him. They think hes on drugs, not sick. Now, my youngest has the mumps. I feel like Im the only person that can do things right. And this is causing my anxiety and depression to he way worse.
Im losing my mind.

(((thunderbear))) - wow you have a lot to worry about and you're justified with feeling overwhelmed. So sorry to hear about your husbands on going medical problems with Crohns and he's lucky to have you and so is your sister. Have you tried simple meditation or breathing exercises? Can you take an afternoon off? Not to sleep and feel sad but to clear your mind. Key thing is to, take things one step at a time. Delegate duties to your sister and husband - explain you need help because you're feeling overwhelmed. In order to care for others, you also have to care for you. Eat well and go for a walk....can you do that?

Hey Lynn.
Ive been trying meditation, but my mind just wont stop racing. I cant seem to get to that calm place anymore. Ive been walking in my woods cuz that usually helps but copperheads are so bad this year that I wont go in there right now. I just sit in this house with a sick husband. I know that sounds insensitive, but seeing him like this is extremely depressing. That & his attitude sucks.
