just venting

I have been going through a lot . For months i was without medical insurance and the gas in my building just recently went out . I haven't been stable minded, my son is non verbal and autistic. i been waiting to apply for services and now I finally can. I have been so frustrated with this situation and i have lashed out. I am getting A bit better because i donate my plasma twice a week so now i can TRY to take care of myself. I am waiting for social security too and i have been waiting since august to get an appointment to see if my son can start receiving benefits. Its been hard as a single mom, especially to a specials needs child. I have sacrificed time that i could use to work , to stay home and make sure my son gets help. he doesn't talk but understands some things, i am still trying because ill be honest here, my mental health has worsened . i get angry faster, i smoke more because i fall into this daze of rage, i can feel my body getting lighter but rage is what i feel. This is behind the abuse i experienced with my sons dad . its gotten to this point that people can see it on my face. I am sick to my stomach because i desire to find a way out of this muck. I am so lost. Today is my sons birthday and i was a bit sad i couldnt get him a cake but i will friday. Ill admit im not the best mom but i still try.

I sometimes wish i had some help and i dont know why i thought things would be easy,

That stress is a real thing and carries real weight.
It will get easier eventually when you get everything in it's place.
It can be hard as hell with having to deal with people and organizations that say they are there to help but do nothing but try to not help.

Good luck.
