So tired of trying

I've been there for everyone that I can & now my health is failing there's nobody there for me. So helpless. I'm a smoker so basically a lepur - judged for my addiction rather than who or what I am. So sad

Hello

Chocolate59,

Welcome to the forums. It sounds like you have worked hard to support others but feel no-one is looking out for you. struggling with addiction and health problems and feeling judged by others for these things must leave you feeling rather helpless and without hope.

we are here on the forums if you want to tell us more about what is going on and need a chat. sometimes life still be difficult and we need somewhere to vent. I hope to hear from you soon.

It's too late to change my attitude towards helping others when I can but I would love someone to makee a priority for a change

I started doing all the paperwork for home care at the end of last year. I don't class myself as being very tech savvy, but they have got my head all over the place with what I qualify for & am on a list to be re-evaluated from 2 to higher support.

It would have been wonderful if I had somebody to help me with all this but nobody came forward & to be honest I'm lost.

I've even thought of trying to find a cheap age home & move in to avoid all the stress

Stress including my family & jumping hoops just to exist.

I start seeing a counsellor tomorrow - thank goodness. I've tried this before & came away knowing what I was doing was wrong - not saying no enough & putting others needs before my own. I just hope this time I can do the tough love bit. Sadly I still feel abandoned & lost. Feel unlovable. Scared of any future I do have. Lost
