Life can be overwhelming

I’m extremely overwhelmed with life right now.

Within 5 days:

-someone broke into our car and destroyed the under of the wheel to the point we can’t even turn it on. Turns out we didn’t have that covered in our insurance so we’re figuring $1000+ to fix the car.

-My mom and brother got in a car accident. Car totaled. They’re okay just a lot of pain and scared of driving. (It was the other drivers fault.)

I have non-epileptic seizures. They are not caused by the electric in the brain, I think that’s how epilepsy works don’t quote me.

Basically my body and mind cannot handle stress. It could be too much physical movement down to too many people in the same isle of the grocery store. I’ve been have seizures almost non-stop (movement ones and ones where I just pass out). I honestly can’t stop crying either.

My depression struggling. It’s hard to move. I can’t get myself to eat. I’ve gotten a Boost half way down. I feel so empty, alone and scared.

I know it will get better eventually. My body just doesn’t understand that.

Thank for letting me vent.

❤️

Life can undoubtedly feel overwhelming, especially when faced with multiple challenges at once. From dealing with car accidents to grappling with mental health issues like depression and anxiety, it's crucial to acknowledge these feelings and seek support. Understanding the impact of stress on our bodies is vital. Non-epileptic seizures are often triggered by high levels of anxiety or overwhelming situations, reminding us that our mental state directly influences our physical well-being. If you're experiencing similar symptoms, it's important to consult a healthcare professional who can provide the guidance you need. Practicing self-care is essential during these tough phases. Engage in activities that promote relaxation, such as meditation, journaling, or gentle exercise. These practices can help in grounding your emotions and reducing stress levels. Additionally, finding a supportive community can make a significant difference. Consider connecting with others who share similar experiences, whether through online forums, local support groups, or social media communities. Remember, it’s okay to feel lost and overwhelmed—what matters is taking small steps towards healing and self-acceptance. While the journey may require patience and time, hope and recovery are always within reach. You're not alone in this journey, and seeking help is a courageous step towards a brighter future.
