Belongs to: Can you relate to zach s struggles with anxiety sh
My symptom of being human is that I care for my dad who has end stage Metastatic Brain Cancer due to agent orange exposure, a spouse who has chronic lymphocytic leukemia and is emotionally and mentally abuseive to me and 3 kids who need me. I struggle with anxiety, social isolation and suicidal attempts and thoughts daily. I have Noone to talk to or help for myself but Shinedown and their musoc has been the only thing that helps me. #ASOBHHeartSupport@shinedown#shinedownnation
Hey there my friend. Thank you so much for posting about this and Im terribly sorry for your circumstances.
It sounds like you give so much of yourself to everyone else and are getting very little in return. It must feel lonely sometimes and exhausting to the bone. Im sure it’s easy for the days to feel like they run together and to feel like that’s all life will ever be.
I want to take a moment to commend you for how hard you work and for how hard you love those around you. That being said, that doesn’t make the pain easier. And you still need support and kindness in your life - to live your life and grow and feel fulfilled.
It sounds ridiculous and obvious but have you considered getting help? Or leaving the relationship? While your spouse is ill, that doesn’t excuse their behavior. And I believe that, as a mother, you can best show up for your kids when you are also thriving.
I hope you’re safe my friend. I hope you’re ok. My heart goes out to you. And we’re here for you if you need to vent more.
