Hi everyone, I'm Jay and I've been using this health and wellness portal for a while now. I'm reaching out because I'm feeling really overwhelmed and scared lately, and could use some support.
I've been dealing with a lot of changes and challenges in my life recently. My husband, who has been my rock, is now working out of town. I'm working 6 days a week just to get 40 hours, which is exhausting. I was offered a new job that I'm both excited and terrified about. I've also been struggling with some health issues like UTIs and yeast infections.
On top of all that, I'm battling with negative self-talk and feeling like I don't measure up to other women. I worry about my weight even though I don't eat much. I feel lost and like I don't know myself anymore. I'm scared of pushing my husband away or losing him.
I know I've made progress from my traumatic past, but lately it feels like I'm going backwards. The sabotaging thoughts are relentless. I want to be a good person and do enough for others, but I also feel drained.
I'm trying to help myself for the sake of my marriage and my own wellbeing, but it's hard. Has anyone else felt like this? How do you cope when everything seems to be piling up at once? Any advice or words of encouragement would be really appreciated right now.
