I feel like an island
Im very new to all of this but I figured I need to do something so why not start here. I am a single mom, a student, I have a full time job and my family structure is spotty at best. I often feel like I dont have roots, like Ive been lost wandering my entire life. There are things that I want to do but I just cant seem to find the motivation to do them. All o ever want to do is sleep. Im in a very complicated situation with a person that I care for but most of that situation just creates heartache. I want to belong, have a place, my person you know. Im just not sure how to do that when I am who I am.

Sorry you are going through all that. I know going to school and working full time on top of being a mom is really hard and time consuming. For the person that you are in a complicated situation with you both might want to read the book 5 love languages and then discuss it. You might also look at turning your mind and other DBT information that might help. Sounds like maybe a Coping skills toolbox might help and also trying to do at least 3 coping skills a week. You can also look up pleasant activities list on the web to get more ideas on how to cope and get fun back into your life. If you are still finding yourself just wanted to sleep since this is an old post you might talk to your doctor since a simple blood test might find that you are needing some vitamins that you are low in.
