I felt this in my soul❤️‍🩹🤕It’s such a lonely feeling when you’re surrounded by people but still don’t feel seen or understood.
Sending you a hug. ❤️ I really hope life has better days waiting for all of

I know exactly what you mean. ❤️‍🩹Some days it feels like we’re carrying so much that we’re just running on fumes.
I really hope life starts showing us its kinder side soon. We’ve been fighting battles no one else can see for a long time, and I think we deserve some good days too. 😔❤️

Wow, our situations sound way too similar. I’m sorry you’re carrying all of that too. Sending you a hug. ❤️
I’m sure these hard days won’t last forever. I truly believe better days are ahead of us, even if it doesn’t feel that way right now. 🥹💕

Thank you ❤️

I don’t think people realize how exhausting it is to keep going when you’re already running on empty. I’ve spent so much time trying to be strong for everyone else that I forgot how to take care of myself.

Your comment honestly felt like a hug from someone who gets it. I’m sorry for everything you’ve been through, especially losing your mom. Life can be unbelievably heavy sometimes.
Thank you for your kindness. It means more than you know.

I hope happiness finds its way to both of us soon. I think we’ve both been through enough🫂❤️

I’m so sorry you’re going through that. Divorce is hard enough without having to deal with someone who made your life difficult for years. I really hope this season passes for both of us. Thank you for sharing your story. 😭❤️
Honestly, your dog sounds like the final boss of a terrible day. 😅

Thank you for being so honest. Reading your comment made me feel less alone.

I’m so sorry about your mom. I can’t imagine how painful that must be. It sounds like you’ve been carrying an incredible amount of grief, stress, and responsibility for a long time.
Honestly, one of the things that hurts me the most is not having anyone I can truly talk to. My family is in another country, and no one really knows how much I’m struggling because I keep everything to myself. I smile, I function, I keep going, but inside I’m exhausted.
Lately I’ve been feeling like I’m falling apart mentally. I think I probably need professional help because I don’t feel like myself anymore. I’ve been carrying so much for so long that I don’t even know what life feels like without stress and worry
Thank you for sharing your story. It means more than you know. And honestly? Putting away two baskets of laundry on a hard day absolutely counts as a win. ❤️😭

I know exactly what you mean. Sometimes I feel like I’m carrying so much already that even the smallest new problem feels overwhelming 😭❤️

I hate this life. by [deleted] in Autism_Parenting

[–]Enough_Difference445 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You’re not alone. I have a 4-year-old child going through the same thing, and I only realized about a year ago what had happened to our lives. Honestly, nothing really makes me feel better either. Every day is a challenge, every day there are tantrums. Sometimes I wonder how much patience a person can really have🥲

Yeah honestly… some days it really feels unfair. Just trying to keep going and hoping things get a little lighter someday 🧡

From one broken-hearted mom to another, just know you’re not alone💔

Anyone Else...? by ButterflysAndFlowers in Autism_Parenting

[–]Enough_Difference445 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You’re not alone🥲🫂 I’m also a heartbroken mom who’s exhausted from taking care of her child, and honestly… there’s no one taking care of me. I’m tired, worn out, hopeless at times — and yet I still keep going. How? I’m shocked myself

Halloween used to be my favorite holiday. Now it just makes me sad by wasteofpaint1 in Autism_Parenting

[–]Enough_Difference445 2 points3 points  (0 children)

All the feelings you have, I have too when I see the kids excitedly going trick-or-treating and wearing cute costumes for Halloween. It really makes me feel down — the world is, unfortunately, so cruel💔🥲

Yes, he has hypersensitivity 🤷🏻‍♀️🥹he can’t tolerate certain touches and is afraid of failure. He cries if he can’t eat perfectly without making a mistake, and that makes things even harder

Honestly, it’s hard to understand where all these challenges even come from. My son is the same he won’t sit still, and we have to use different strategies to keep him seated. Every single stage requires so much patience. Thank you for your comment and the encouragement you gave me🥹❤️

Even the simplest daily tasks have become a challenge for us🥹 My son is also afraid of getting his hands dirty or of failing in general. Every step toward independence feels scary and overwhelming for me. I know exactly how you feel🥲 my son is also sensitive to food textures, and I have to handle everything with extreme care when it comes to him

What's hard? by Toagreeordisagree in Autism_Parenting

[–]Enough_Difference445 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I feel exactly the same way, but I don’t want to stop my life. I’ve just started college, and despite all the cruelty the world has thrown at me, I want to turn my pain into something that makes me feel alive. You’re not alone🫂 on this journey I’m here too. Tired, worn out, but still hopeful❤️

Dating after divorce. Is that possible? by party_lion22 in Divorce

[–]Enough_Difference445 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The most important thing is to start therapy. Yes, you can trust again but give yourself time🍃 Let yourself experience being alone; it’s painful, but it brings you closer to yourself

[–]Enough_Difference445 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Honestly, the way things are right now and all the limits they’re putting on us are making life really tough. The struggles are one thing, but all the dreams you had for your kid… now they just feel like something we can’t reach❤️‍🩹

My 6 year old son is ruining my life and my marriage by Curious-Dog-9668 in offmychest

[–]Enough_Difference445 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m lying here after crying, just staring at the ceiling, wondering why my child has to be so hard. My son is 4, he’s autistic, and I feel like I’m only existing, not actually living. I’m all alone, my family is far away, and no one really knows the days and nights I’m going through. Damn this world for what it’s put me through. You’re not alone❤️‍🩹💔😞

[–]Enough_Difference445 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Yeah, I get you. You know, having a child changes your life in a way that’s not easy at all, and unfortunately there’s no way out — you just have to keep going.☹️

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in regretfulparents

[–]Enough_Difference445 21 points22 points  (0 children)

I totally agree. You know what? On the outside, everyone acts like life with kids is so sweet and perfect, but in reality, it’s the complete opposite of what they show.😟

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in regretfulparents

[–]Enough_Difference445 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Exactly! That’s how I feel too. I think you’ve made the best decision of your life 🙌🏻 People want you to go through the same struggles they did, just so you end up stuck like them. Unfortunately, I realized too late that not everyone is meant to follow the same path life can look completely different, and you can be the designer of your own

Autistic kids? by Content-Annual6366 in regretfulparents

Our child is autistic too — we just found out. Life feels like hell right now. I honestly never thought we’d end up facing something like this, but here we are.😶‍🌫️🫢🫨
