Lost and hopeless thread

Been taking care of my partner for 2 years, our lives are a mess now and I'm done. His needs were physical, mine mental. No hope left but not suicidal. Jst totally down. No future. He can't handle my negativity but there's no acknowledgment of what I did for him. I'm isolated. Hating life.

Taking care of yourself should be a priority. When you feel better, you will be more capable of accoomplishing tasks. Set aside time to do things that benefit you personally. Engage in activities like reading, writing, and listening to music to support your well-being. Reconnect with your emotions and work on restoring your mental health. Talking to friends can also be beneficial.

Thanks for understanding. I think maybe because of my situation, I don't really have anyone to chat with right now.

You'll always find someone who cares! I've made some great friends here too. Afetr two years of taking care of someone else, it's time for YOU to take a break and focus on yourself. Your partner should be your biggest supporter-if they aren't, maybe it's time to re-evaluate the situation. Relationships are supposed to go both ways; if it feels one-sided, talk it out. If they don't get the message, consider what makes you happy-whether that includes them or not. Sometimes standing firm on what you need can bring about real change!

I am very sorry to hear that you are feeling so overwhelmed and discouraged. It seems like you have reached a difficult point, but please do not let despair take over completely. There is still hope for better times ahead. It's okay to struggle and feel this way, but I hope you can hold on to the idea that there may be more in life than what you are experiencing now. Your reluctance to consider suicide shows that part of you wants to persevere. You have shown resilience by continuing despite these challenges. If you ever need someone to talk to, please reach out to me.

I understand how you feel.I have heart problems and type 2 diabetes. We are on holiday, but I had a bad fall recently, which resulted in severe bruising on my hip and buttock. The pain has been continuous, and I've also been dealing with inflammation from the injury. It's been difficult emotionally as well.

My partner suggests we should go home, but the trip was planned for a long time, so I'm trying to enjoy it as much as possible. Maybe consider speaking to your doctor about therapy options or other ways to manage your health during this period. You deserve some rest and support.

Definitely! You gotta make some serious "me tme" or else honestly, your relationship might not survive.
