severe/very severe

My mom is so stressed out from caring for me full time (I’ve been sick and disabled and living here for 15 months now) that she has to take the summer off and go elsewhere and so I’ll have a caregiver or other family member.

Change stresses me out but I also am grieving a lot of my own life I was independent and never had any mental struggles I had a career etc.

I have a lot of thoughts of feeling that I am burden to everyone in my life (I do work on this in therapy when I am well enough to attend my virtual sessions) and they are not afraid to share how horribly this has impacted their lives I think that’s what hurts the most. I don’t have the capacity mentally to take that on.

Everyone around me is so horribly stressed out about the situation and we’re trying to figure out how to make this work long term since I have no signs of improving and this is going to be really financially taxing. The stress makes me feel even worse than I already do from all of the physical shit I deal with daily.

I want to try to find resources that could maybe help us out but at the same time I wish this never happened so I wouldn’t have to watch everyone else’s lives fall apart and suffer because something bad happened to me
