Hello Pingles,
Welcome to Psycho-Babble. Thanks for sharing your story with us. It sounds like you're going through a really rough time. Sorry about what your father did to you. That was awful and I hope the nightmare will be over soon for you. You deserve justice and I hope your biological father learns his lesson soon.
You work sounds like it is very demanding both physically and mentally. You said you do not have enough energy to take care of yourself right now, much less others. Do look into help for your depression and anxiety. There is definitely help out there. Medication and therapy helps many people. Taking medication isn't actually that scary.
Are you able to take a vacation to destress from work?
I'm glad you have such a wonderful partner. Can you ask your partner for help in getting through this rough time? Family and friends can help a lot.
I hope you feel better soon. Let me know if you have any questions about Psycho-Babble and I will help you the best I can.
Deneb
