    You need inner strenth and only God can give that to you.Read the four books of the NT in the Bible and really start giving more thought to prayer.(I notice you don't mention either God or prayers in your life,and that worries me.) Join "cell groups" that share their belief - absolutely necessary for spiritual growth.

    Read the Bible more regularly (than what most Christians do) and then - vvery important - start praising God in the mornings when you wake up and still feel sleepy.Don't allow yourself any questions about it:just praise Him and even if you just say "Praise God" softly to yourself over and over for an half an hour every morning,you will see what difference it can make in your life..

    Sorry,of course I do not know how you feel about religion,I just can see you need it as much as what we all do.Forget about this terribly agnostic/atheistic life everyone around us seems to be living Because it will never bring the answer you are looking for..

    Anti-depressants help(I also take some) but you have a spirit inside you that needs to be lifted up.

    OK,,try this if you want to.God bless you and ,please,just persist and you will see the lighter side of life again.

    If you would one day like to let me know if this helped,I am under EDUCATION/ "I am intelligent but air-brained "/Tom Steel.( But perhaps you can see these things straight away - not sure,just joined this site today.)

    I wish I could just step in, kick some butt and scream at the other people in your life to get them back in shape. I also wish I would win the lottery. Sadly, neither is likely to happen anytime soon.

    I do feel for you. Make sure that despite all this turmoil and pain you keep your priorities straight. First, take care of yourself, so keep your doctor informed of your reactions and what is going on in your life. Then realize that it is not likely that you can address much less fix all the different challenges you are facing at one time. You will need to choose which one or two you have the strength and ability to work on this coming week, and let the rest slide.

    Were I a parent I would be ridiculously tough and strict. Tell your son the truth about your family finances: there isn't enough money to pay the essentials, so his wants for spending money will have to wait. Your daughter is screaming for attention - but I have no idea why. You have to break the daily cycle of your morning routine. Your job is critical, so get the kids to back off for a short while and get your job under control. Those would be my priorities, but I'm not you. Decide for yourself what area or areas to work on first. It will get better, but not in one big event.
