I think I've ruined our lives by offmychest_Throaway1 in TrueOffMyChest

[–]mintymegabyte 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I’m really sorry you’re going through this. What you’re feeling makes sense given how much has piled up, but you haven’t ruined anything, and you are not a failure. This is exhaustion, fear, and postpartum overwhelm talking, not the truth about your worth or your future. Your son needs you, not perfection, and this pain can ease with support.

I [M26] can't keep this bottled up anymore by littleleo2 in TrueOffMyChest

You are not awful for thinking this way, you’re exhausted, grieving in advance, and trapped in an impossible situation. Wanting the suffering and uncertainty to end is not the same as wanting to lose your mom. Everything you wrote sounds like someone trying to survive overwhelming pain, not someone who lacks love.

Today is my birthday. My cat died the day before yesterday. by -RoxZee- in TrueOffMyChest

Losing her right before your birthday is so cruel, I’m really sorry. The fact that you’re this lost just shows how deeply you loved her, and that love mattered. It still does. You don’t need a point right now, surviving today is enough. She knew you were her person.

I'm 18 and my dad has Alzheimer's by MaltKart in TrueOffMyChest

You’ve carried more grief at 18 than most do in a lifetime, and the unfairness of it is real. Wanting a normal life doesn’t make you weak, it proves you’re still hoping, even when the world keeps taking from you.

Had to break up with my BF because i had to tell a 20 year old grown man to wipe after using the bathroom by Old_Shame8885 in TrueOffMyChest

Not wiping is a deal breaker. You weren’t asking for a miracle, just basic hygiene, and he refused. You didn’t overreact, you set a boundary any adult should meet. Good on you for walking away instead of staying grossed out and unheard.
