I have so much going on, and there’s so much damn pressure. I can’t ■■■■■■■ do this. I don’t know how to handle it. Now I’m so angry and I don’t feel safe towards myself. But I can’t go to the hospital because I have to start at a job tomorrow. I can’t miss it because I guarantee I won’t get a second chance, and I don’t know what to do. I just want all this pressure to stop. I don’t want to do school. I don’t want to work. I don’t want any of this. How can I make it all stop? God, I just need everything to stop.

First do some grounding exercises.
Then re-evaluate.
If you’re unable to work, are you able to survive without working? I mean, it’s not easy but sometimes doable.
There’s no shame in being unable to work

I don’t know if we can survive without me working right now. And I’m 100% reliant on hubby to help me. If anything happens to him, I’m useless financially. It’s scary. I’m also getting older and need to start now before people start getting age-ist and stuff. Yeah, they aren’t supposed to, but they do.

I would take rest. Your mental health comes first.
At least that is my perspective.
Are you on disability or can you get on?

Do you receive disability?

I am stressed out and have a hectic life at the moment. But I am completely safe with myself and others. I am going to push on. I am concerned about your safety and mental health. I see your situation you have described. Please stay safe. This defiantly sounds like a situation for a professional.

I am on SSDI, so I’m allowed to work a little. It’s for a nonproft, and it doesn’t pay much or require many hours. But I’m very stressed over it. My family needs a little extra right now. Our taxes were reassessed, and now we owe thousands with no room in our budget.
ETA: Sorry that it took so long to respond. I took a diazepam and napped. I am a little better rn. I don’t think I’ll hurt myself.

I just wanted to say I am so sorry you are feeling so overwhelmed today. This could be pre-work nervousness. I have definitely dealt with this in the past. Try to hang in there, but like sweetpea said, there is no shame if you can’t work.
