I cannot tell you how happy and relieved I was to see you post again! You have come to the right place; so many have been in their own individual versions of where you are. You truly are not alone. Are you getting help - therapy, meds, etc? If not, please do so, it will make so much difference. Is there somewhere you can "get away from the world" in small ways? A walk (or just sitting)in a setting that relaxes you, going to Starbuck's (sorry, I'm from the great coffee drinking city of Seattle), taking a bath, even sitting in your car away from the hustle and bustle? While you keep yourself going with responsibilities, can you start learning the "responsibility" of taking care of yourself as you do others? Just start with something very small, once or twice a week, and build from there. I know pleasure probably isn't easy for you these days, but please find ways to take care of wrestlingmom - including finding a therapist and psychiatrist - and things will gradually start to improve. Please keep posting here and let us know how you're doing and what kind of help you need.
