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 am sorry that you have such circumstances.

The thing is we can't change the circumstances, we don't have power to change the external factors. But what we can do is manage our being in such a way so as to handle the circumstances in better way without getting effected by the circumstances in the bad way.

We can work towards keeping ourselves in a positive way and even try to find happiness and joy in the small things of live. It's your life, it's up to you how you want to spend it. Things will stay as they are if you feel good/happy or you feel bad/sad. You you can change the circumstances by your actions, not by you getting sad/demotivated, instead getting sad/demotivated can make the circumstances worse for you.

So be positive and joyful internally first.

I am always here if need to talk with someone. Please feel free to message me.

Take care,

Best Wishes :)
