Feeling stressed

Hi all,

I am feeling very overwhelmed from spending a long time moving into my apartment and now my apartment is a huge mess with everything and I still have a car full of stuff to work on. My car window is stuck rolled down and really needs to be fixed but I have to get everything out before I can try to get it repaired. I also have a ton of schoolwork to catch up on so I can only do a little at a time. I feel particularly overwhelmed because of having limited contact with my abusive parents and not having a lot of help from other sources. I tried posting on some LGBT support groups and posted on care.com to ask for help, but I don't have a lot of money to spend paying people to help me.

It sounds like you are under an enormous amount of stress. Trying to move, being a full time student, and getting things settled so that you can get car repairs done sounds like a lot of work. Do you have a student resource center at school? They may be able to offer some assistance or have resources to help you get settled into your new place. I think reaching out to the LGBTQ community could be a great resource if you are already part of or wanting to be a part of the community in your local area. Sending you best wishes as you get settled.

Hi,


it sounds like you’re taking on a dangerous load here and I just want to say I am so proud of you! You are going through it, but you are also persevering.


A method that has always helped me is by laying down lists day by day and keeping a calendar to figure shit out!


let me know if you ever want to talk privately!
