Its taking everything in me right now to hold it together at work. I got maybe 3 hours of sleep last night since I stayed up most of the night crying. One of my closest uncles who was like a dad to any and everyone has passed away. My grandpa just stopped by while im working and he nearly collapsed in my arms. He and I hardly ever cry about shit but this one really hit. I’m tryna be strong for him but its so hard. And then his brother, my other uncle fell out and had a seizure because he had to walk in and find one of his big brothers dead last night. And then my dude is down bad, crying because he's sick after letting his friends peer pressure him into drinking again. I feel like I’m carrying a lot on my shoulders. I’m just gonna keep praying but golly… I can only take so much. I’m shaking yo #FeelFreeToList

Going through , I am pretty much in the same boat , dealing with a lot of stress as well and not knowing which way to turn , I just keep taking each day as it comes and trying not to let negativity to take over me , Ever since I last my Mom and my older brother that passed within a few months apart , I felt my whole world crash before my eyes , it seems things have just been spiraling downwards ever since that occurred , I try to keep my head up as much as possible and focus on my well being as much as possible , hoping positive energy stays with me, I know it’s easier said than done but that’s what I been doing to keep myself safe and content the best way I can , it seems so much negativity is around us to the point it’s hard to grasp complete happiness , I keep praying every day that I get through this funk and pray things will get better , life has definitely hit me with a left hook out of nowhere , the only thing I can do is move forward even though at times I feel like jumping off a bridge , but I don’t have the balls to that and I know that isn’t going to solve anything , We are here on this planet for a reason , all we Can do is try our best to keep moving forward reaching for love and happiness , Hang in there , And try to focus on things that make you happy and Content the best you can01 Reply- +1 y

Aww dont be sad. I’ll get through it
Opinion Owner+1 yI know queen you will you're strong I'm just a text away whenever you need friend.
just breath, take some deep breaths when you get overwhelmed, you can get through this. i lost my parents back to back and then a best friend one after the other and i have no family. i won't ever lie and tell you time will heal the pain. because it doesn't, but in time each passing day it gets easier to move forward and cope with what's happened- knowing its what your loved one wants, you to thrive.
as for your dude tell him you are either part of the problem or the solution in life.
ask him, does he want to be at the mercy of peer pressure till he is 70? life isn't easy for a lot of us, the choices we make sometimes are hard but are for our better, sometimes you out grow friends and have to move on. you want better -be better, don't be a follower, don't be anyone's puppet but your own creator of what you want in life.
peace and love to you and your family 💕💕💕

That is a lot but it shouldn't be on you. All grieve differently. there's barely anyone who would effect me like that if they passed but my brother is probably the highest in potential to completely break me and to a point of suicide. So I could imagine the pain felt there. Im sorry its all at once. Usually the best help is to do something all together in a sort of remembering but accepting kind of way. If you can its better to try and make that loss into positive energy as muvh as you can. I think of it as what the person who passed would want to see us doing. I'd rather push to take a family vacay or go to a themepark with fam amidst a heavy loss than just a funeral we gather for.

+1 yHave you told your employer (s)? Even the hardest of them should understand death in the family. I don't know what kind of leave hours or vacation hours you earn in your employment contract or if you even are in such a situation, but do investigate your options.
As for your dude, does he have any options to getting help similar to what I just described in his job?
03 Reply- +1 y
I haven't been working here long enough to have accrued just yet. And he's not at work this month. he's at school and spending so much to attend that he's not gonna drop with a little under a month left
- +1 y
@DizzyDesii That DOES make a dreadful sense, and I am glad he at least can see "the light at the end of the tunnel", so to speak. But he better ditch the friends and stop drinking, at least for the next semester or two, or is it quarters?
As for you, a leave of absence without pay or with your salary "docked", is not good of course, but if you can afford a day or two, do it. Be as contrite and polite with your supervisors as you can be, and if they are even remotely human, they should understand. - +1 y
he's doing 3 months a year. I don't know how to explain this aviation stuff he's doing. I feel like its a 2 year thing but his boss only allows him off 25% of the year and he has to work the other 75%. So he's only going 3 months a year. And is only halfway through the program. Bt he has nearly 10 years of experience. He just needs some certain license. I tried to get him to ditch these fakeass friends bt he won't. And he won't even go to the doc unless they advise it. As for the drinking, it was occasional but around them, its becoming frequent. He claims he’ll cut back but I don't know. He said that last week and then this happened.
That is a helluva of a day. I'm glad you are in a better place today but it is going to take some time to work through with your uncle. All I can say is value what he gave you and you him.
I had thought I had a major week with a neighbor going off pysch meds but it just doesn't compare.

It might compare. I won't downplay anyones bad day
+1 yI'm sorry for your loss. 😢 It must be a tough couple of days. If I can be of help, I'm here.
To answer the question, yes I'm stressed. The " house makeover isn't going as planned. Some of thr people I hired for painting and other things keep bailing, so I have to fo their work too. They shouldn't expect the full payment for their work, since I did more than half of it.03 Reply- +1 y
Thank you. And omg im sorry they are still trying to get over on you. They do not deserve full payment unless a refund if unsatisfied is guaranteed

It's only fair that, if they do half of the job they promised, they should get paid half of the money that we agreed upon.

Maybe he should cut ties with those friends if they keep getting him to drink. They are not good friends if they pressure him to drink
- +1 y
I tried to tell him that. Even one of the friends has stopped drinking but he continued to do so because the little leader of their pack dared everyone to keep doing so.

01 Reply- +1 y
My grandpa and uncle are falling out because their brother just died yesterday
I am going to suggest something that might not help but I think it might make you feel a bit relaxed.
Just go inside your room when you reach home close the door and cry, take a pillow and yell in it or just text someone who will listen to you and let everything you are feeling out.
It's not much of a support, for that I am sorry and sorry that I can't do more, but it may be of some help.04 Reply- +1 y
