I don't have any plans for implenting a finish but my goodness, everything is so overwhelming.

I work hard but I can't afford rent and I live at home. My work can be intense sometimes. Then I go home to an overly demanding and domineering mother to literally have more shit dumped on my back.

This week has been particularly hard. I am feeling poorly but it's not covid sickness and I don't ha e covid symptoms but I still need to keep on going even though I am finding it hard to sleep at night.

I also have my period and last yesr I had to change from pads to nappies in case I don't get a chance to get to a toilet in the middle of a working day. A nappy would provide more period protection. Basically there are times when I wear the nappy for up to 12/13 hours. Then other times I do get a chance to get to the toilet and change. I wear the nappies in case I don't get a chance to get to a toilet and there have been days like that.

Yesterday was a particularly bad day. The night before I slept like shit. I continued with work and had a long day. I went home where my mother was demanding my time and energy to help her. Yesterday was also a day where I didn't get a chance to change my period soaked nappy. I put a stop to my mother's demands quickly and I told her that I am not well and I went to bed but she's not finished with me and she wants me to help her tonight. I told her I am free on Saturday and I can help her then but that's not good enough for her. She wants new shoes again now and tonight. My mother knew I wasn't feeling well the night before. She's not able to comprehend what a poor night's sleep is like followed by a long work day on top of it.

Everything is just so shit. Feeling sick and not sleeping properly, work being long, mother being demanding - everything. It appears as if I need to pay rent monies to the world just to grab a few minutes to look after myself.

Hello OP, we are really sorry to hear you are feeling this way.

We hope you don't mind, but when these threads are flagged up to us we usually add a link to our Mental Health resources. You can also go to the Samaritans website or email them on [email protected].

Support from other Mumsnetters is great and we really hope you will be able to take some comfort from your fellow posters, but as other MNers will tell you, it's really a good idea to seek RL help and support as well.

We also like to remind everyone that, although we're awed daily by the astonishing support our members give each other through life's trickier twists and turns, we'd always caution anyone never to give more of themselves to another poster, emotionally or financially, than they can afford to spare.

We are going to move this thread to the Mental Health section shortly
