I can't keep going.… everything is too much and I'm back at the time when my trauma happened

[SeekingAfrica]

Yes indeed, I'll try to leave some things with friends.

I do see this as relief and as the right decision. But at the same time I am ashamed to seek help from parents again at this age. To not be self sufficient, again. To need so much help in general.

I will try to helping practical ways(cook, clean) fewtimes a week, but can't do it all the time. The objective is to take time to get healthy, and save money, hence I'll need to work. But at least I won't be paying rent or bi.ls while away,which was the objective.

I need to find a way to make this healthy.
Not just a last resort.

Any tips on how to make this easier on retired parents, healthy and less stressful for me, is welcome.

It might be good to ask your parents what they'd like as far as reducing their stress goes?

There's a saying that comparison is the theft of joy, kind of comparing yourself to where you think you should be makes you feel bad and maybe its not worth making yourself feel bad, does that help at all?

It's possible most people I can leave things with are on vacation and I may have to get rid of half of my things.
Or more.

Not sure how to cope.

It's too much, everything is too much and I'm back at the time when my trauma happened....I don't know how to keep going.

I’m with you. I wonder sometimes what the point is. Why not let go?
