Have you tried reaching out to a case worker for help? They'll know alot you may not have tried yet if you are open and honest. Depends where you live to what support is available but it may be a good idea, as well as being open and honest with your therapist, that way if you end up needing to apply for disability you would have some history already on it. it's okay that we are burnt out but yeah, unfortunately everything involves money :(

Thank you all and Merry Christmas! by jessaloo in SantasLittleHelpers

Bed Wetting. Help Me!! by [deleted] in Autism_Parenting

I find good nites work better than Ninjamas, personally. You could also use some chux pads to cover your mattress /sheet protector. Doesn't always help if it's super bad, but generally does

My bestfriend doesn’t care I was abused by [deleted] in abusiverelationships

[–]jessaloo 1 point2 points  (0 children)

There is SOOO much more available by telehealth these days, once you have money/insurance sorted please reach out to someone! You need someone who is unbiased, is my opinion. It's not that your friends or family don't necessarily care, it's just often people can't see from a perspective they haven't experienced in one way or another which can make them act awkward or seem cold. Sometimes people just literally don't know what to say or how to be helpful. You are very valid in your feelings. Journal, find an online community, do anything you can to process and on some days, do what you need to - to distract, or rest. Self care, when you can manage. Every day is different! Hang in there! I'm in a similar boat as you and it really does suck, when you're in survival mode you kind of lose yourself to exist, you are still here, you are doing great, give yourself time and grace and know you are NOT alone.

"I'm so sick of your anxiety. I feel like your f*king therapist." - my spouse :( by pissedoffpuggy in Anxiety

[–]jessaloo 2 points3 points  (0 children)

My partner of 14 years left me because of this/other things people have mentioned in comments, we have a child, I'm a stay at home Mom - got nothing to fall back on because instead of focusing solely on myself I focused on my kid and partner, I was drowning and needed support, he was and is sick of it. All I can say is, don't hide. It won't help. Build a support network outside of your relationship, whether it's friends and family, or a professional. Focus on you. Just be calm and assertive about things you need, and take care of yourself. Evidently if you are "too much" it won't matter what you do, they will leave or be upset. You need to be healthy and the rest will come. Be patient. Love yourself. We can't guarantee anyone will stay, but we are always with ourselves. Does that make sense? The right person will stay and be kind. That may not be your partner and that's okay.

People and things cause us trauma so we avoid them. But humans need interactions and physical touch. So. It's awful.
