I feel lonely

I've been meaning to publish the last chapter I was editing for the cold, I just hadn't felt up to it yet. I feel like i'm constantly feeling sad, or worthless, or stressed.. just a lot happened last year that caused me problems. Trusting one of my friends ended up putting me in debt and causing strain in relationships with other people, including someone I really care about.. with that person it hurt because my debt caused her problems, and things being difficult for her because of my situation made me feel so ty. I also wasn't able to go visit my family when I promised I would because of this situation. I also haven't gone to the hospital to fix health issues I have going on because I haven't had time to take a break from work.

Things were starting to feel really great up until the situation that caused the debt happened, and it's just left me feeling so depressed and betrayed and worthless, and like I let down people I care about. Even if I logically know someone else put me in this situation and left me with debt that shouldn't have been mine, it still hurts a lot. I still feel bad regardless.

I've had a wrist injury for months now that i've left untreated and I feel so sad thinking about that.. the bones in my wrist aren't in the correct place and could possibly even be broken, but i'm not sure if it's just dislocated or fractured or what because I haven't gone to the doctor at all. The reason I haven't gone is because if it's more serious, like a break that healed incorrectly, i'm pretty sure it'd need to be rebroken and set back into place so that might require taking time off from work. My wrist doesn't hurt right really at the moment as long as I don't lift anything heavy or move it around at any odd angles. It feels mostly normal just not as flexible as normal and weaker than normal. But it makes me sad. It makes me sad that I can't even let myself relax enough to fix my injury that i've been walking around with for almost 5 months now. Whenever I look at my wrist I see how misshappen it looks and it makes me feel so sad.

I've got most of the debt paid off now, it's been about 9 and a half months since I started having to pay it (it was a lot of money, like so much that i've hardly had anything left over most of the time even for my own personal bills) but it's caused me a lot of emotional damage, and it's made me have to put my life and career on hold to fix it, and it's made me feel so worthless, and it's made me feel like nothing I do is good enough..

I just hate there being a burden for people I care about..

And I hate feeling so alone and like I can't take care of myself..

I also had a friend who was around for the incident last year recently betray me, also with something money related. So that didn't feel so great. It has me at a point that I feel really used and like if I agree to help any friends out it could end up in me getting hurt. And these kinds of things were work related, so it wasn't even like I just let someone borrow money or something. I don't understand why some people think it's ok to treat others this way..

At the moment there are good things coming up for this summer and winter, but even while I'm working on preparing for upcoming stuff I just don't feel great. I don't feel excited or happy. I feel depressed.

And I feel like I don't really have anyone I can fully express all my feelings to or tell everything to. There's someone I'd feel comfortable talking to and that I wish I could, but I don't want to bother her, and I don't know if she'd even want to see me breaking down and getting so upset.

I feel like I can't even vent much here, I know i've mentioned working in entertainment before. That's one thing that really about it. Like if you don't have any friends you feel really close to how can you express everything you want to express.. you can't just anonymously post whatever's on your mind in detail because it could come back to haunt you later and just make things worse and more painful.

I keep telling myself I'll feel better after the last of this debt is gone and i've finally been able to accomplish things that I wanted this year.. but then I worry that I'll still feel like this either way.

I feel really bad about not having been able to go see my family yet. I have a box of presents I got for my younger siblings and my mom around Halloween and I still hadn't sent it and I feel so bad.. I want to send it this week if I can, it's been sitting in my house for too long..

I also have a gift I meant to mail to that person I care about a lot, it was for her birthday and it's really late too..

I was just trying to finish paying the debt completely first but I just want to mail those things, especially the stuff for my siblings and mom..

And I feel so bad that I haven't been able to visit my dad too.. I have some stuff I got for him also that I hadn't given to him yet.. I haven't seen anyone in my family in a year and a half.. I don't think I saw my dad the last time I saw the rest of my family so for him even longer.

I'm so tired of feeling like this..

I feel so terrible..

And it really breaks my heart that a friend I thought I could trust left me with their debt and made an entire year so difficult and painful for me. Debts often create more debts, which is exactly what happened in this situation. The initial debt wasn't nearly as bad as the final amount i've ended up having to pay due to things like late fees, having to wait to pay for things that should've been done sooner, adding extra money onto payments as apologies for being late, extra expenses that occured as a direct result of the debt, and other situations..

I just keep thinking about how all the money I had to waste could've been sent to my family to help them. I make a lot more money than anyone in my family, and if I hadn't been left with this burden I could've helped them out so much already.. it makes me feel so terrible and guilty..

I hate that I wasn't able to visit yet and that they all don't have much money while i'm over here with more income than all of them combined and it's having to all go into paying off debts. Honestly as soon as i'm done I really just want to help them out.

And that person I care about, I want to make it up to her for there being any burden on her too.. my mind's constantly going back and forth between feeling this immense guilt towards her and towards my family..

I just want everything to be ok for everyone..

I'm sitting here crying typing this and I don't know if it's even making any sense because of how vague I have to be.. i'm just so tired..

I just want it to be over.. for everything to be ok..

I`m really sorry sth like that happend to you. I`m not really good at giving advice (I`m more of a listener). its really hard to find true friends, maybe thats the reason I dont really have any. ppl are selfish, thats what I learned from past experiences. I think its best to think about yourself right now. and that starts with your health. at least let it get checked so you know how bad it is. also , try to find sth that calms you down from the stress and sadness. care for yourself first, so you can care for others.

That sounds really tough! Im sorry this had to happen to you, you dont always know where you have your friends, and most times you dont truly know even if you think you do.
To this Day i got a hard time with the Friend thing too, quite a few years ago i had a Lot of people i considered friends leave me because an ex og mine convinced Them i was a villaen for breaking Up with him. Ever since Ive felt like friendship is too fragile, im prepared for anyone to tugn their back in me, and its sadly proven useful as more left for selfish reason through time after, you truly dont know where you got people.
However, you have someone you care about deeply, someone you feel you can trust and rely on, and can be tough to lag your worries on Them, i have someone wonderful too who lets me ramt for hours about the breaks in life. If you care so much for her and trust her so much, if you believe she cares deeply for you too, you should be honest with her, its to hard a task to take om alone! Allow yourself to trust that shed want to be there for you that she wont consider IT a Burden for you to tell her.
You really need to find time to get the Wrist checkes too, i know its difficult, but if you dont the Damage Will only get Worse, and could get permanent
If you ever need IT, you can feel free to ramt IT All out to me too, i dont know where youre from, but i can assure you i know No one you know, im just an open set og arms wanting to hug you, you should never have to go through such tough times alone

I'm sorry you had to go through this . Take this as a lesson and never trust anyone especially when it comes to money related . Sometimes, things happen for a reason . You just have to try your best to pay off your debts and then start a new life .

Although the experience is bitter and harsh , but at least it make you realized alot about life , who you truly care , what really matters and etc . Life is a process of growth and never ending lessons. You never know how strong you are unless strong is the only option that you had .

Never give up . After the rain , the sun will shine again. Anything that relate money , just as long as you're able to work , somehow you'l be able to solve it . Its just the matter of time . Pray for strength and courage . You can do it
