Feeling overwhelmed

[Tiny_leaf]

I have so much to do..

I'm so tired. There's just so much and it's too much. I hate relying on other people but I have no choice.

I'm trying so hard with everything and nothing's working and I'm exhausted and overwhelmed.

I want to cry but I don't have the energy.

I barely have the energy to move.

I don't know how I'm going to do everything I need to do.

Hi @Tiny_leaf. Really sorry to hear that you're feeling so many uncomfortable emotions. I often get pretty overwhelmed also but struggle to find the motivation to do anything. 

I know for myself going for a walk helps a lot with those uncomfortable feelings as you're being productive and also allowing yourself to breathe. I know you said you barely have the energy to move, but I do really encourage you to even just do some stretching for 5 minutes if you feel comfortable. 

I'm curious as to why you struggle to rely on other people? 

I also hope you know that all those things that you need to do can wait! Your own health is so much more important. I know for me I get to points where I still have so much work to do but I have no more energy/motivation to do anymore that I have to pull myself away, watch some trash tv, read a good book or just go to sleep.

I'm sorry you're still feeling exhausted @Tiny_leaf One thing at a time, hey? I know it helps me not to focus on the big picture all the time but break it down

@letsheal my health depends in them they really can't wait.

Plus I'm nearly out of NDIS funding so I can't push back that meeting.

Everything that I could put back I have. I've even had to put back some things I really shouldn't.

And it's still all too much.

I struggle to rely on people because the people I have to rely on are very unreliable, but I get no choice.

@Lost_Space_Explorer5 yeah I guess..

@Tiny_leaf  I'm so sorry you've got a lot on your plate right now. I can understand you not wanting to rely on other people, but there is nothing wrong about having some support around you, especially as you've been going through such a difficult time. It's frustrating that they are unreliable though. Have you tried communicating to them how their unreliability affects you?

[Tiny_leaf]

They're basically unpaid carers. Also I feel like they resent the amount they have to do for me.

It wouldn't go down well.

Hey @Tiny_leaf , how are you doing today? I can hear how exhausting and overwhelming it's all feeling at the moment ,and it must be so frustrating having to rely on people who aren't the most reliable Is it a review for your NDIS plan that's coming up? 

[Tiny_leaf]

@Janine-RO yeah it's really soon I need it to happen but I'm scared I just want to hide but I have no choice...
