I can't live this way any longer. I don't want to.

Why does my family think I am the go to person when they need help. Is it because I rarely say no or I can't help. I'm either an ATM, a messenger or a ranting dumping ground. I have my own stuff to deal with learn to stand on your own two feet your all adults now.

Getting it out here because even if I told my family they often ignore it anyway

A phone call can really get things very agitated. I received one earlier today and panic set in fast. Sometimes though, what you hear and what is being said, can be different when hearing through panic and stress. Though the situation is far from over, it has eased a little. I can now breath.

I feel beyond tired. I keep digging but I feel like there's little left inside. I want to shut the world out and be on my own. I don't want to talk to anyone, see anyone, go anywhere, do anything. I'm ignoring and avoiding things I shouldn't be ignoring and avoiding. I'm letting things slip, watching them fall away, questioning how much I really care. I feel like I should know better than this by now.

I know these dips are part of this deal but I wish things could stay good forever. I've had enough of the wonky. How many times is it OK to say to yourself 'maybe it's just a bad day'?

I think I'm done

How am I supposed to be there for my son and keep him above the waves when everyone else is trying bricks to my feet
