Life feels Stale, overwhelming & exhausting

[Asmrlady]

Sorry for the negative start I title, but I just have to see if there is anyone out there that feels the same way as me.

My husband & I have been through years and years of financial insecurity in between kids, redundancy and grief. Mu husband started to suffer with depression (me too, but I hold it all in for the kids) and everything just seems fractured and sad.

I love him dearly, my kids are amazing, we have quite selfish/passive aggressive members of the family and it all feels overwhelming at the moment.

I'm ill today, my husband is on nights and the kids are plonked in front if the TV. PAH.

Please someone tell me it all gets better...so much more to it all but I'd run out of space 🙈

Just thanks for listening. Sorry its rambling x

I think more people than you can imagine feel the same, but people tend to put on an act. Shakespeare put it well in Hamlet, which shows how long this feeling has been around: "How weary, stale, flat, and unprofitable seem to me all the uses of this world".

I hear you. I feel like this a lot at the moment, it's just skint skint work work sick sick for us at the moment. I hold on to the idea that you never know what is around the corner, that all you cab do is put one foot in front of the other, hold each other and have patience and love for others and even more so for yourself. I hope that doesn't sound corny and bollocks. Glass of wine/coffee/hot chocolate for you across the ether xxx

Amazing vibes from you, back at ya xxxx

Same. Any happiness others believe I feel is an act. I'm so good at it that there are days I believe it. Hope you can find joy in small things.

Same here too. Chronic illness for 30 years and I'm pretty much spent. Life is just illness,work and worry. It's brutal. I think part of it is the age I'm at, elderly parents, expensive teenagers, there's very little left for us.
