Money. I am really struggling to get by and owe so many people money. Because of this I cant fully relax or ever do anything fun or go to the places I want to go to, its so bad that I feel guilty if I buy myself something as little as a sandwich on my break at work. I am desperate to move out of my parents home but it seems impossible that I will ever be able to.

Emotional numbness. The last year has had its moments of stress and perhaps that is what caused me to subconsciously shut down. I recognize that I rarely feel anything anymore, I just dont know how to bring myself out of it. Other than feeling trapped and disconnected, I think the worst part of it has been the way my relationship is suffering because of my numbness. I have a person I know I love so dearly, that Im marrying soon, yet I cant make myself feel anything except indifference or irritation. I dont know how to stop my life from suffering- I just want to feel happiness, excitement, love.

Hi, I'm Cassie, I've been exactly where you are now. Do you have a CBT workbook? That or a DBT workbook and medical marijuana allowed that to lift a little, though I am constantly working at it. Know you are not alone, you can always talk to me.

Torn between staying or leaving. We have three wonderful kids together and been together for 11 years. But things are not what the need to be anymore. I just want to do what's right for the kids. And be a great mother for them

1) my emotions being all over the floor from a recent breakup. it has been hard to move on knowing that he use to say that i was the most important person in his life and wed have a future together. then it all gets turned into lies. 2) my future is on hold because of being dismissed from a educational program that would further my career path. 3) definitely money. my relationship with my ex and school has taken a toll on me financially.

The biggest obstacle that stands in my way right now is procrastination. I know what I should be doing but I just don't have the drive to do it. I certainly won't be happy about this when I pay the price for it on Monday morning.

@HarmoniousBlessing There are resources available to tackle procrastination,like books ,apps and online articles. I'd recommend "Eat that frog" by Brian Tracy. But here's the catch.When you have an issue like depression or anxiety,even simple tasks seem difficult,so I think there should be a different way to tackle that. Sadly,resources are in abundance, and it tends to take you down a rabbit hole.

Thanks so much for sharing your insight. I'll be sure to look into those resources. I know for sure that there are some personal issues to sort out but it will be good to build upon that Foundation.
