I Am Dead Inside

I feel a lot in my life is not going as it should and it's because I've been waiting for a change without taking control. Scared of failure and not archiving anything in my life. My goals are simple, I want enough money to survive and friends i can be myself with.

I have a spouse and a child, but he is working overseas, financially struggling, sick. I have not felt close to him at all, but that's because of a history of things he had done that made me disappointed in him. I live with my child alone. I don't get any help even though I have enough family members.

I often wish I could just end it but I do not say this to get sympathy. In fact I know how this emotional rollercoaster plays out. I know deep down I just have dreams of feeling worthy, loved and understood. I often dream of people that do not feel earthly and these are my desires all along, to have a stable social life.

In nature I am just shy, not the brightest to be honest. In my native language I struggle to make sentences, in english I feel confident though. Wondering how others seem to be so natural in making conversations.

But well, I thought if I write this here it might clear me up why I feel the way I do.

hello young lady - I have discovered that a surprising number of young women in their 20s feel either dis-satified with their lives or experience real depression. I have relatives your age who from time to time have depressive episodes.
It seems to me that - You have the responsibilities of being a lone parent. Lack of money is a problem and limits your opportunities.Your extended family provide little support. So you have good reasons for feeling depressed at times.
I have two suggestions
1. approach other parents who have children who know your child, there a lot to be said for sharing positive and negative thoughts with people who have children of the same age.
2. I am not a huge fan of drugs but sometimes low levels of doctor prescribed medication can lift a person's mood and help them take the first steps in changing their life.
Please do not put yourself down too much - if English is your second language, well I compliment you on how good you are able to express yourself. Being shy is ok, many people feel shy.You are young, as you become older you will become wiser and more confident in yourself. Be brave and take some small first steps to change small things in your life. Achieving small steps will increase your confidence in yourself. Take care of yourself.
best regards Henry

@HenryQuelch yes, my family has a bad reputation around here, my mom's messed up too but don't want to go too deep into that lol. I try to make everyday the best. I am not weak but all the extra work exhausts me, the house is quite big and my mom is barely home anymore to help out.

In my freetime I do little things like baking or learning to skate, I exercise too. I do pretty much whatever I can to feel alive, but I have no control over the random emotional depth I feel, that I'm sinking.

But as I said, I try.

@SW-User OK so it sounds as if you are trying very hard to be active and positive in your life. I am aware I am asking questions that probably you do not want everybody reading - shall we message privately??

Your English reads pretty good. And, for what it's worth I am a retired English teacher.
