Got Lemonade?

I'm tired. I want to just shut down, but I can't. I am running on empty and the stress has me feeling like I'm on the brink of plunging into the .....abyss.

My life sucks. I try to look at the brighter side and make the most of the lemons I have...because of one bad decision I made. My house is FULL of lemonade. I always try to look at the brighter side, but there aren't any sides left to look at.

I'm tired and unhappy. I need to find the peace that surpasses all understanding.

I'm tired of being strong, cheerful and optimistic.
I'm tired of defending my life, my kids & my autistic son
I'm tired of my life being so complicated, difficult and hectic.

I'm tired and there is no relief, no rest, no refuge in sight.

My sister told me sooner or later, caring for 7 kids and holding it down by myslef was going to catch up with me.
It has and all I can say is:
I'm tired.

I'm sorry you are having a rough time of it.

I'm sorry, too.

Once, when I felt the way you do, someone gave me a copy of Cristy Lane's, "One Day At A Time," CD. I played it so many times it wore out, and it helped. Not instantly, but gradually, one day at a time. I still find the words popping into my mind whenever I have one of those, "I can't take another minute of this" days. Hope you feel better soon, for your sake and for the sake of those who depend on you. Remember that we care, so keep us posted.
