So....
There are times in my life where I just want to die. Not that I have a plan to commit suicide, but I just want rest from my life....

People see me as strong with what is happening so I get no sympathy.

Why does my life situation get to take so much from me? Why do I feel selfish when I try to distance myself and heal from my addict, disturbed son? I still feel selfish that I want to die. I have a wonderful life, on paper. In the meantime, I am alone, I am hurt, I am helpless.

I would love to sleep forever, but I have kids, family, friends.

I have a perfectionism that makes me so critical of myself + everything else that everyone faults me for.

What's left? There's times I long for death.

Have you sought a Therapist, to help you deal with your addicted son? It might help. You are taking on too much responsibility alone.

As Thunder said, seek help. To show yourself as vulnerable does not mean you're weak.

On the other hand, your trying to appear strong is weakening you.

Don't give up.
