I'm not doing well at all. I'm tired. Tired of putting on a happy face, tired of being the one that everyone relys on, just tired. I don't understand why I'm still here. I'm alone. I'm completely and utterly alone. No one cares. I want the pain to end. I'm trying to lose weight and everyone I talk to basically tells me that I can't do it. I'm trying to finish college and I have no money for that. I've been told I need a laptop before I can enroll for college and don't have money for that. I"m at a job that I hate. I hate my bosses. To be honest I hate life right now.

Life can be very difficult and painful. Sometimes it's like that for a long time. Life isn't fair either, in my experience. You sound very angry and like you feel helpless. And that's understandable from what you've said about what is going on in your life.

Why do people say you can't lose weight? I've never heard of a reason why someone couldn't lose weight!

Do you see a therapist or a psychiatrist? If not I would recommend that you do that. Even with all your other problems and financial concerns, your mental health should be your number one priority right now. It's dangerous to feel as bad as you do. Also you do not deserve to feel so unhappy, angry and uncomfortable.

Please take care of yourself. And keep posting here, you'll get the support and care you need. But you also need it in real life. If you don't have much money, check out your local mental health clinic. You may have to wait several weeks for an appointment, but it's worth it and they will charge on a sliding scale based on your income. Wouldn't you do everthing you could for someone you love if you thought they needed help, if you knew they felt as bad as you do? Love yourself that much and do it for you.

Hi, Maymie! Clearly, you're facing some trying times. Of the things you mentioned in your post, which is the worst one you think you could actually do something about?

I'm tired of putting on a happy face, too. Does anyone know how you're feeling, and if not, is there anyone you feel you could tell? Sometimes it helps if you have even one person you don't have to pretend around. It sounds like you're having a tough time right now. Lots of hugs and best of luck to you.

Hi Maymie,

There seems to be a lot going on for you right now. I'm hearing how you hate your bosses and your job. You don't have enough money for a laptop or to get into let alone complete college. I'm also hearing how tired you are. You sound incredibly tired. Tired of people using you, relying on you. It sounds like you want some time to yourself. You say you want the pain to end. What pain are you talking of? I hear as well that you are trying to lose weight in the face of personal adversity. That's challenging. I'm also trying to lose weight but it's not coming off, so I know how you feel in that respect. Trying to lose weight is stressful. It must be very difficult for you to get up everyday and go to a job that you hate. Are there any options for you with regards to employment? In regards to the laptop, have you tried ebay? I bought a used laptop on ebay for $300 and it works great, haven't had any problems with it. So that may be an option for you.

I'm sorry you're having such a rough time right now. I want you to know that you're doing a great job by coming here and talking about it, that is the first step to wellness/wholeness. Know too that I am always here for you, whenever you need a shoulder to cry on or an ear to listen to you can count on me.

I hope you feel some relief soon.

Love and Hugs,
Tara
