I feel guilty about everything all of the time. I feel guilty that I am so heavy, so depressed, so numb.

I try to be the best mom, wife, friend, etc. that I can be but always end up feeling like I fall short. There's not enough of me to go around and I can only handle so much at once. Sometimes I wish I could sleep the day away. Nothing is ever enough.

It's like people just dump stuff in my lap and say to me "Here you deal with it and then tell me how to deal with it." and then wonder why nothing is done later. It's overwhelming.

I am a super woman in disguise but really I am lonely, afraid, and sad. I'm like a truck that is stuck in a mud puddle. Tires constantly spinning and yet getting nowhere.

I want so many things but it feels like I have such a mountain to climb.

I don't want anyone to see this weakness within me. In my mind, it is not okay to feel this way.

I need to be okay because so many people depend on me to be.

Here are some hugs.
I also struggle with guilt feelings, try to remember that you don't have control over everything and you cant fix everything and that things are not your fault even if it feels like they are, you are only human. Please take good care of yourself, try pampering yourself with things that you enjoy.

Kjetterman,

Don't I know what it feels like to be a superwoman in disguise. What a difficult existence it is. You gotta be everything to everyone but you can't find time to be anybody to yourself. It's definitely frustrating.

I read the book Men are from Mars Women are from Venus and in it the book actually talks about how women are waves. They give give give give give and then have nothing left and become depleted and crash and so the cycle repeats. I know this is true for me. If it is for you to then check out the book, you might get some helpful insights from it.

I hope your day today looks up and happy and you're able to take care of yourself.

Love and Hugs,
Tara

P.S. I'm always here if you want to talk just PM me or catch me in chat.
