I'm going to fucking break. I can't keep up functioning like a normal person. It's an endless cycle of overextending myself, crashing and painfully getting back up. Everything I do towards making myself and my life better takes away so much energy that I stall and crash. For every step forward, it seems like I take two backwards. And the worst thing is that people don't understand. It's a cycle of extreme stress that I don't want to keep enduring, it keeps fucking coming, I'm like constantly behind. It never stops.

Sorry for the rant, I needed to vent somewhere into the void.

    Trying to explain to people how you're not like others and stress really messes you up is exhausting even in itself. I know exactly where you're coming from comrade. I hope the advice isn't too trite, but keep doing small things, if you can. That's what's worked for me. One thing at a time, one foot in front of the other. I know even that can be difficult with people demanding so much from you, but I hope it can help.
