If you are really experiencing anxiety, stress, addiction and/or dread, sometimes it's important to get it out there, acknowledge your situation and don't try to hide it from yourself and pretend everything is fine. Then get yourself the support you need from others and also try to change things, but recognizing the signs is a first step.

What I need is for the people creating problems in my life to get their shit together and fucking stop. No amount of support from others will achieve that.

I would accept support coming in pretty much any form other than pointing at boilerplate "solutions" ignoring reasoning behind why they're out of reach, and washing their hands of the situation as though they did everything they could.

We've tried nothing and we're all out of ideas!
