I'm really struggling tonight

I have a lot of weight on my shoulders and no one to lean on. I take care of my family, and when I'm in need, when I have emotions, when I break. That's when I'm reminded how alone I am. I'm not allowed to be sick, I'm not allowed to cry. I'm not allowed to be tired. Because if I do I'm not the faithful servant fulfilling my duties. I'm human, and that's not allowed.

Those around you need to realise that you are only human and you cant be perfect all the time. It is an impossible standard for anyone to live up to. To care properly for others you have to take care of yourself first and foremost.
Do you have any friends or other family you can talk to? Have you ever considered counselling?
