-- my husband isn't perfect, in fact he's done his fair share of wronging me, but he's pretty fantastic in other ways so it sort of evens out. (Although I'm not sure at times).

--I'm under investigation for cancer

--I have a very rare (one in a million) condition that means I'll always be tired (unless the NHS does something about it but I severely doubt it).

-- I make enough money to not have to worry about money, but paying the debts that are a result of my husband not being a decent person, I still worry about it.

-- My dad is in prison (I think that worries me the least but, still not great)

-- I don't have real life friends to confide in them

-- My mother is OK but she is so distant and toxic at times that she offered for me to be looked after by her (for the cancer surgery) but I'd rather not, even if that means waiting extra time

-- My car is on the edge of breaking down but can't change it yet (see point above).

-- At work things are ok, but thanks to circumstances I don't get any praise

Hi @Namechangefail123

Sounds like you have a lot of worries at the moment.

I don't have much advise, sorry.

Do you have things in your life that you enjoy that can help take your mind off it all? A hobby, reading, getting out doors?

Is there some way you can break down some of your worries and then prioritise one or two small steps that might help? Sorry if that sounds naff but I always find having some kind of plan and taking even a tiny step forward can really help me feel like I am taking back control.

I am struggling just now but my problems are nothing compared to what you are dealing with, so I have real admiration for you. You sound very strong to me, even if it might not feel like that to you.

Please update and let me know how things are going.
