Yeah I just got in a fender bender the same day I found out my brother who is in jail for manslaughter is now getting another charge in prison for battery against a CO. He told me the public defender could beat it but idk man. He said he is on his second strike. I am taking care of my elderly dad and my mom is nuts but she means well. I am just stressed out and I just wish I could just stop having problems.

That’s a lot. Please stay focused on the asking care of yourself first. You can’t really control too much of all the other chaos that is going on in your life. It can be overwhelming and cause much anxiety. Take time throughout the day to pause and calm yourself. You can stay clean and sober thru all of this, but it does take a little work not to get lost in the chaos.

Yeah I stayed sober. I cried a lot but I am fine now. It's okay. I am glad I didn't drink because I would be really torn into pieces right now. I am happy that I can come here and get support. I don't have any friends that could reach out and I don't feel comfortable reaching out to people for help. I always learned that I can take care of myself and if I ask people for help, I know they will disappoint me. I always took the kindness of strangers over asking for help from people I know. I can't really have close friends or a romantic bf because I have a lot of trust issues. A lot of people can't communicate directly and I am autistic so I can't understand when people are trying to pull one over me so I try to stay alone because of that.
