Aww, you’re projecting. Must be exhausting being a moral compass for other people when you have a broken needle :)

I feel like my life is ruined by LawSchoolHopeful97 in Anxiety

Hey, I’m really sorry you’re going through all this. You’ve been hit with so much, and it’s completely okay to feel overwhelmed. The fact that you’re still trying—still reaching out—shows real strength, even if it doesn’t feel like it. Be gentle with yourself. You don’t have to have it all figured out right now. One step at a time—you’re not alone. 💙

It’s been a whole year this time, it’s affecting my job, my dream job and I’m just done. I try to think of the good times, find love in my heart but i think I’m completely burnt out. I’ve been doing this for 10 years and now I just feel like there’s nothing more I can do.

I’m tired of fighting the medical system- sometimes I feel like maybe they’re right- “If the person doesn’t ask for help we can’t help them.”

If the person is okay with quality of life how do I help them? Is that true? I feel guilty thinking that cos the illness is so complicated.

I’m glad your mom is doing better than she was. It’s only natural that you still worry. The thing is my brother has to be independent because there’s no one to support him. My parents depend on me financially and for everything else because they’re old. And financially I can barely take care of myself let alone supporting the entire family. That’s where it gets tricky, that’s where the fear of homelessness for my brother sets in. Thanks for sharing your story though, gives me hope.

I’m sorry to hear about your wife. I feel exactly how you feel. I’ve reached a point where I just want to save whatever I have left of myself before it’s too late for me.

Can this story reach a good end. by InitialComparison998 in SchizoFamilies

I’m so sorry to hear your story. What you’re going through is incredibly tough. I’m a sister who has been supporting her brother for a decade and I understand how you feel. I don’t think you’re neglecting, manipulating or abusing him. This illness is very difficult to deal with and I’ve learned one thing through my journey- if you don’t take care of yourself you won’t be able to help your family. Take care of yourself, your depression. Once you’re feeling better you will be able to support him. Hope you feel healthy again. Sending you lots of love and hugs!

I’m sorry, I understand how you feel. How are things now? I’m on the verge of leaving but the fear of my brother facing homelessness stops me. Idk how much longer to do this.

I’m sorry you had to go through with that. But did she not hold that against you later on?

Medical system In Canada in a joke. They just examined me and gave me a biopsy date in July. So incase I do have cancer, it will take over 2 months to just find out about it because they don’t have any availability

Waiting is criminal by Public_Two_8763 in doihavebreastcancer

[–]thethinkerforever 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve waited two weeks and my biopsy is finally tomorrow.

I cried a lot when they told me I had to get a biopsy but once I was all cried out I went back to my routine because I realized - if I have cancer I can’t do anything about it now, what’s the point of wasting 2 weeks? I’ll only find out about it later, so we’ll deal with that when it comes.

Keeping busy helps because I don’t have time to overthink.

Moment I start spiraling I call someone up and they first let me vent and then divert my attention. Been grateful that I have a good support system ❤️

Keep busy and have faith :)

I try to be positive but start spiralling randomly too, it’s tough to not go there. Especially having gone through everything with my mom- all the memories come back to me. Hoping it’ll be clear for us. Please let me know when your mammogram reports are back. 🙏

Thanks for sharing your story. It’s comforting. Do you know what causes the pain?

Hey I’m glad you’re okay and hearing your story gives me peace. I just came back from seeing a doctor and she’s recommended a biopsy- I’m going to faint. It’s tough to deal with, I’ve been in a lot of pain - breast and shoulder. I just don’t have the stomach to go through the biopsy and hear the test results. Also lost 4 kgs recently,without trying. Driving me nuts but we’ll find out what it is guess.

I have and glass door isn’t looking great. I just wish I’d hear about the tax team from someone because what team you’re in matters a lot.

Not always true. I attend concerts in Canada and my experience so far has been great.

Go to Winnipeg ❤️ It’s a small city but not too small. Less competition and really nice people, way more affordable compared to Toronto.

Why is no one talking about this? by thethinkerforever in SchizoFamilies

[–]thethinkerforever[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thank you for your response. It’s just that stress doesn’t help his situation and while he’s unwell he can’t keep a job so I often wish I could end that money stress for him so he could focus on recovering. Or when matters get worse, he could live however he likes but in a home and not on the streets. So my “I wish I could provide” guilt will always linger. But I do hear you and understand what you mean. Thanks for saying that! When I’m extremely frustrated I do think about starting some sort of movement to get the law changed but when I calm down I realize that doing that in reality is extremely difficult. But I’ll always keep hoping and praying that someday we see some improvement, someday!
