Yeah I know I'm probably being U but it's all too much. My sob story is that I had an extremely abusive childhood & then went on to spend decades married to an angry man with a personality disorder who took control of everything - and I was happy with that because it absolved me of all responsibility. I've finally extricated myself from that mess & now I'm on my own. For the first time in my life (in my 50s) I'm now in charge of everything. If I don't do it, it doesn't happen. I feel overwhelmed. Just learning & managing & knowing how to pay bills. Buy food. Get a job. Mend stuff. Take care of everything. My mind is sozzled and I'm very tired. Absolutely everything is down to me. Does anyone else ever feel overwhelmed? We lead such complicated lives. I aspire to being one of those really 'sorted' people who has all their shit in order. I feel like I have a child's capability inside an adults body. Anyone else?
