Super anxious about work and finances
This is hard to type, but Im feeling like Im worth more dead than alive. Right now my job (sales and 100% commission) is not going well. Ive actually left the company before and came back 5 years ago. It is my home and I enjoy the people but I really cant handle the roller coaster of the business. Its eating at me especially when things are tough like they are now. On top of the stress of not making money our property taxes increased and my mortgage has increased by 700/mo. (It is already high). My wife works too, but her company is going through lay-offs so there is uncertainty there. All this stress and panic it makes it hard to get out of bed. I constantly feel like I am faking it and I feel like I cant do it anymore. Im at a breaking point. I think if I was in an accident or if I had a disease that killed me my family would be better off. I know that really horrible and I should be thankful for my health and that I have a family (and I am) but the cloud of debt is hovering above and the anxiety is so high. Im on anxiety meds, I do tapping but I need a quick fix. Please someone tell me Im not alone.
@passionateEast7024 First of all I want to say thank you for being so honest and open it takes immense courage to put these feelings into words, especially when they’re this heavy. You are not alone, and I’m really sorry you’re feeling this overwhelmed right now. Everything you described financial pressure, job instability, fear for the future those are massive weights to carry, and anyone in your position would feel deeply shaken.

Hey. You are not alone, and you are certainly not better off dead. I know things are hard right now, but it will get better. Trust me, it will. But for now, you will have to hold on. Not just for your family, but for yourself. The other side of this dreary time is going to be a pretty wonderful place.
Hi, @passionateEast7024
I'm sorry that you're feeling that way, I have felt the same way at times myself, you're not alone in this world.
