Day 15 sober. Been going through a lot! My boyfriend's daughter had to come stay with us and her two kids because her boyfriend died of a drug overdose. We live in a small 2 bedroom. I don't know how much I can handle. I get no time to myself and my boyfriend and I aren't working at the moment. She has no job. Her boyfriend was the bread winner. Then, I haven't been able to sleep. I left a message to the nurse for my doctor about it. It's been 2 weeks and she still hasn't contacted me. I don't know how long I can deal with everything. I feel like my apartment isn't mine anymore. Feeling overwhelmed!

Call back and keep calling them until they know your name. No one can advocate for you like you can. Make there phone ring.
Holding yourself together while holding everyone else up too is an enormous amount to ask of someone still in their earliest stretch of this, and feeling like you have nothing left for yourself right now makes complete sense. I would try to see where your boyfriend's daughter is in her fried grief and try to be patient. However, if it's to the point of a relapse then that's a conversation to maybe have with your boyfriend. Has the daughter tried #211 for resources
