Does anyone else ever feel just totally mentally exhausted at times? I'm tired of my work problems - I'm totally overwhelmed with work and not enough HELP and time. I'm tired of being broke all the time even though I work like a dog. I'm tired of being everyone's support system. I'm tired of being the "strong" one that everyone else comes to for help and/or advice. I'm tired of my relationship situation, and worrying if I'm doing the right thing being with the man I'm with. It's just EVERYTHING...I want to hide away from the world and sleep for about a week. Am I the ONLY one who ever feels this way? Just totally overwhelmed....

This kinda thing happens periodicaly throughout life.
Take a nap, take a walk. Sit down and think things through. As far as money goes, look at what you have, what you own, what you pay for and your quality of life. Find where the problem is and set a solution to it. If what you have is not enough money, find out where it is going, or re evaluate your current employment. If what you own isnt good enough, ask yourself why. Get rid of it. start over. Nothing is more liberating and giving your stuff away to people who have nothing. it leaves you with room to add new things. If you're paying too many bills, find a way to pay them off quicker. even an extra twenty bucks on a credit card payment makes a huge difference. Be sure to set yourself aside a few bucks a week for mad money.
I promise you'll find room for improvment, but if you're honest with yourself you will find that you have it pretty good. Because no matter what there is always someone who is worse off than you.
As far as work goes, I would just make it known that you're no ones workbitch. You do things, because you get paid to. end of story. You dont owe anyone anything.
Things get super overwhelming at night time, after a huge work load, when you're PMSing, when you're tired from lack of sleep.
Do you have a sick day? Call in. sit at home in your pj's and watch price is right with a tub of ice cream. Sleep the day away. if you dont have a sick day, have sick moments at work. Take you time walking to the bathroom. Take two seconds to look out the window. Count to ten and close your eyes and think of your favorite place. Mini-vacations. listen to your own music at work whenever possible. your favorite songs can take you anywhere, no matter where you're at.
most of all, reassure yourself that there is a way out of this, it might not be immediate, but there is a way out. And you will survive. And things wont seem so big and weighty after a while.
Just breathe.

No, you are not the only one that feels this way. {{{HUGS}}} I was in your place three years ago, and it had lasted for many years. First of all I found God, He helped me out so much, but I'll list other things that helped as well. First of all I now take half an hour of my day for just time for me. No TV, maybe a radio playing, no distractions, phone off, and I just relax. I also made sure my friends knew I was there for them, but I would no longer be taking any crap off them. I let them know I still loved them, but that the constant knots in my stomach were wearing me out, and the tensions had to stop. I actually had to break up with my boyfriend because he was causing me too much stress, he had a list too long of things I had to be, and I was turning myself inside out to meet them. I generally work 80 hours a week, and get low pay as well. I had to learn to not freak out at little things, to take things in stride and realize that tomorrow, most things taht I worried about today won't matter. Take time out to breathe, to give yourself a moment of peace before diving into the next things that threatens to try your patience. But I really would love to tell you sometime of how God helped me through it all if you'd ever like to hear it. :) If you would, write me at doyle_cat@yahoo.com. :) I wish you all the best, I know what you're going through, and how you just want to yell at everyone to go away so you can finally be at peace for even just five minutes.

Weary? Drained? These are just a couple that come to mind off the top of my head. Really, most synonyms of exhausted (as in physically) can be applied to the emotional state as well. You can make the sentence imply that it is an emotional type of exhaustion. E.g. "She came out of the shower refreshed, yet still somehow weary from the day's events."

Hey!!! I know it's hard but you'll get through it because I did. I've been away from my family for 16 years and I was married to an abusive husband and left me for a younger woman. I was devastated and ended up in a hospital, I had some treatment and counselling sessions I feel ashamed of myself but I we have to stay positive to survive and that's what I did. I do understant where you're coming from, listen to your heart and try to self talk (positive talks I mean) believe me it does work.
Good luck...and remember you're not alone.....:-)

No you are NOT the only one. My problems are worse and smtimes i feel why dont i die? But then i think abt the ppl who love me then i drop this idea. But to cope with this i listen to religious songs and that helps me calm down, you also try the same. whatever your religion is , try going to your religious place, sit quietly or have some time for urself. or go on a holiday, take a break. or email me cheemagurinder@yahoo.com. We can talk. I have been through a lot in my life but still manage to stand somehow.

You are absolutely not the only one. I feel the same way a lot. I'm a single mother, doing everything on my own. To help with this, I went to the doctor and discussed with him. I am on a short term medication to help ease the frustration. Good luck, and rest assured, you are not alone!!
