I feel like i'm spiraling out of control
12/12/25 it's been a while since i've been on here but recently things have changed with my children and myself and I need more support. My non verbal asd son was put on medication on 12/10/25 and my oldest gifted son has reached out to get help at his school for intensive therapy. I'm sooo thankful to God but also very stressed lately which has ramped up my alcohol intake ...low alcohol, but still, I know because I'm not using the coping skills that I've learned I'm losing control of my life and I love my children too much to allow that so today I take back my control and will push forward to take care of myself better and support my children.

You’re going through a difficult time right now. There is value in reaching out for help. Also, turning the page on the new day and a new start is valid.
@CalmRosebud thank you so much!!
@reservedTangerine9348 I was looking for someone to relate to about this exact situation. I am a drug addict though. My 17 yo daughter is all I’ve been living for the last 2 years.. I’m starting to realize that she is actually a trigger (the main one) that makes me want to escape with drugs.. I would never tell her that. I don’t know what I can do.
@NurseJessica5150 I am still going through this my youngest is doing well but my oldest has stopped going to school. I am really struggling. But we can't lose ourselves because our children will have no one...I'm trying to just keep myself in one piece mentally as best as I can right now.....
