I Feel Like Shit Today

Pt2

Hobbies and interests? I dont find joy in doing the things i used to like to do anymore. Hiking. Kayaking. Shooting. Painting. Driving out to the beach just to lay in the sand with a book or to watch the sunset. My family is a mess. My brothers on meth, drinking like a fish and killing himself that way. Hes living off my dad. He wont get a job. Dad doesnt know what to do. Alk he does is work. My moms just an enabler. How else would he have discovered meth. Hmmm. Her. Shes been an addict her whole life. I really hate her yet pity her at the same time. My dad has total blinders on to the entire situation. He knows shits fucked up but is too tired to take it seriously enough. Watching them in that situation just makes me sick. I want to fix it, and help. But you cant help people who wont help themselves. For some reason i feel guilty, like when sonething absolutely horrible does happen involving my brother i will tell myself theres more i could have done. Ive got to stop letting it effect me so much right. There's not much i can do. Im struggling with enough of my own problems.

I wish you much hope and love, you do know you can't take on other's problems like they are your own and it is beautiful you feel so strongly for them. Is there other ways you can help them while you help yourself with yours?
@SW-User ive tried to find that balance. But its not working. At this point i cant even stand to be in that house for more than 10 minutes. Any advice i give out is in one ear out the other like everything i say is totally meaningless.

@lulaluboo To me, that sounds like you need to find yourself away for some time.
@SW-User yes, I wish it was a little easier to do

@lulaluboo I'm not going to say it's easy, or what you should do, but it does sound you like you need some of your own time and people who you love and care who take that away from you isn't going to help you. I know deeply that's a tough choice.
