Overwhelmed by loneliness

Been through a lot lately. Spouse was in a horrible accident. I was out of with for several months to take care of him. When I went back to work I found out my friends weren't friends anymore, I'm the outcast now. But I need the job so I just pretend to be happy to have a job.

Spouse is forever changed... He's a shadow of his former self. I have no idea what the future holds, at least with him going back to work. His health and life are on my shoulders. My family's future is on my shoulders. I found out my youngest baby has autism, and Im heartbroken. Top it all off, I'm recovering from surgery. And yeah, it was elective, but I still have to heal. And there's no support. No one to talk to. It's too much. It all hurts too much.

I'm so sorry to hear that, don't give up, take care of yourself : eat well, sleep well, drink lots of water, allow yourself moments to disconect and relax, all those things will help you maintain your strenght so you can go through this hard episode. one day , hopefully sooner than later, you will be having an amazing day, sun will be shining, your spouse will be better, maybe you will be hanging out with some new friends, you will look back on these dark time with a sigh of relief and think " thank god we made it through that". good luck 🙏
