i’m only 20

...See more i’m so tired with everything honestly. i have to be a third parent for my now adult brother (18) bc he’s refusing to talk to my parents. on top of this im taking 21 college credits, majoring in 2 fields, minoring in another, running 4 clubs, working 3 jobs, and have to do well in all of it. i can’t just use the mindset of “C’s get degrees” bc i want to go to dental school and apply this year. im just so exhausted. my brother attempted to take his life in front of my very eyes, 4 days before his 18th birthday, and im the only one he talks to anymore. he doesn’t talk to my parents and is being very stubborn. i have to be another parent and im just so exhausted. im lucky if i have time to eat even 1 meal a day bc of how much im doing. idk why God is putting me through this anymore. i haven’t had a summer break in 3 years since starting college bc of summer classes. i’m just so tired to the point of having physical difficulty walking upstairs. i’m only 20. i don’t understand what im doing anymore.
