Relationships

I feel like everything is falling apart. Between my daughter being in the hospital with cancer and not being able to do anything to help her, I may lose my job in a few weeks given the fact that I’m staying in the hospital with her given how young she is and the shit we have dealt with during hospital stays with her before this, and my marriage is falling apart. My husband and I were trying to fix things before our daughter got her diagnosis, and then everything changed overnight and now, it’s hard to see the light at the end of the tunnel. I don’t know which way is up, which way is down and I feel like I can’t breathe. I’m really trying to stay strong for my baby girl because that’s what she needs most right now, but all I feel like doing is letting myself untangle and fall apart.

Hi there my name is Armando Gutiérrez. I've had this app for a long time but have been terrified about posting anything.
I have had my battles with mental health pretty much my whole life I've always felt out of place I don't even know where to begin to get the help I need I only have medi-cal my girlfriend and autistic daughter and aspergian autistic step son r staying with mt in law's in a very difficult situation.
My battles have been with insomnia, anxiety & depression I feel like I was undiagnosed autistic growing up personal relationships and family relationships have always been very difficult for me but let me loose on a job site for cabinets are involved and I am a completely different person,
subsequently I tried to self medicate stuff i am not proud of I need directions and not sure what else I've been on antidepressants off and on for a while I went cold turkey about 4 weeks ago and now on just diabetes high blood pressure cholesterol medication with melatonin tossed in to help me sleep. When I can or wear myself out

This is basically my story, and it was difficult, but after 10 years of breaking free from enmeshment. I had to learn to get my own mind, live my life for me, and know no one else. Now my parents are no longer my biological parents, but now they are my stepparents; they lost that right emotionally years ago. #Abuse #CPTSD #BPD #PTSD #Enmeshment #MentalHealth

Today the Church celebrates the Feast of St. Bartholomew, also known as Nathanael. He was one of Christ’s Twelve Apostles and walked with Jesus during His three-year ministry as a friend and devoted disciple.

Bartholomew was open to seeking truth. When Philip invited him to meet Jesus, he asked, “Can anything good come from Nazareth?” Yet he set his rash judgment aside and allowed Philip to lead him to Jesus.

He was honest. Jesus revealed this virtue at once, calling him an Israelite with no guile in him. He asked Jesus, “How do you know me?” He learned that Jesus had seen him sitting under a fig tree before Philip called him. This response, rich in mystery and meaning not revealed in Scripture, convinced him that Jesus was the promised Messiah.

He had deep faith, and his open heart was ready to receive Truth. After Jesus revealed the “fig tree moment” to Bartholomew, he believed and professed Jesus as the Son of God and the King of Israel. Jesus told Bartholomew he would see greater things, and he did. He preached, healed the sick, cast out demons, and brought many souls to Christ.

Like St. Bartholomew, may we seek a relationship with Jesus that is open, honest, and deep.
