My life is nothing.

I used to be able to make anything fun. I made everyone laugh at work. My son and I had a million little adventures and bunch of big ones too. We had a secure home life, I had energy and good health. But my son doesn't even remember those days, he barely remembers our van adventures. He doesn't even recognize pictures of me when I was healthy and smiling.

I did everything and I did it well. Now I'm just tired and bored. Burnt out and too worthless for anyone to befriend or love.

I'm really struggling to see what use I am at all.

The more depleted I become the less of a person I am. The less value I can fake at work and in friendships/relationships. And I just lied endlessly to myself believing people cared about us. I lied to myself with the positive attitude crap so I wouldn't fall apart, but lies are lies and they never hold up.

I know I sound like a whining wimp right now. I just don't care anymore. Positive energy or negative energy, I don't attract anything but more problems.

I keep going for my son, but most days I don't really want to. I'm losing and my sadness makes everything worse. I have done everything I possibly can to make our life beautiful.

But I'm not endless. And doing everything alone with zero support or care at all has deduced me to a zombie. I don't feel anything. I don't think as deeply. I just give and give and give and I don't even get hugs from my son because he's at that age I need to respect his space.

I am nothing but what I give and I've run out. My boy knows it too. He's bored too. I'm messing up his life by not being enough alone. It's all just a bunch of nothing. I couldn't fix it. I couldn't make it better. I tried so hard. I was so full. Where did I go? What am I now? Too useless to create anything but tears.

Go ahead and let the perfect people of SW laugh at me. Y'all mfers with love and support go ahead and laugh and tell me how I weak I am. I know.

He will remember those fun things when he gets older and more mature and starts appreciating his memories more. From the sounds of it, you've done good and you've done your job, now you just need to let him take the wheel over his own happiness a bit, especially so that you can heal.

You're not done yet, you just need some time to work through this.
@MartinTheFirst it keeps getting worse no matter what I do..it was only good when I had the energy and money to make it good. And I did everything for my son because I had no choice and I didn't teach him to do enough for himself in the process. I messed us both up trying to do my best. I don't know what to do anymore.
