Real Sad Now

I have so much on my mind real world grown up BS and my OCD. My finances are stressing me out so much, I barely have enough money to get buy every month and now that its school tax season I'm scrambling to save money to pay them. My brother still isn't working and can't chip in for the bills very much. He does this home based work for some guy but it’s not much. We live together and I've been looking after him the past 2 years but it's hard sometimes. I feel guilty telling him how this is all making me feel. I don't know what to do. I have told him about our situation regarding the house we own and how his being unemployed has put a lot of pressure on me to carry the entire burden. He feels really guilty and tells me he will try, but then he just doesn't do anything. I am afraid that if I am too harsh or strict with him that he will be even more hurt and depressed. I’m afraid of making things worse for him but on the other hand if I just let him stay where he is nothing will change. (Expletive) OCD makes it hard to decide how to handle some situations when the choices you have can cause someone hurt or pain. I mean I just woke up feeling like sh*t about everything. Lonely, ugly, worthless, out of place, weird, different, like I was a freak. I was just in a meeting at work and my eyes welled up with tears because I felt this huge wave of sadness hit me, I had to sit facing away from everyone because I was so ashamed. I didn't want them to see the look on my face. I don't know what I am living for anymore. I don't feel like I have a purpose, a plan, goals, inspiration, like all I am doing is scrapping by in every sense through life. I want to believe there is a plan, a reason, and something great for everyone, but a lot of the time I think it’s no true for me. I wonder when will things be different. I have made some effort to change what I can but I'm just so sick of trying anymore. I think there comes a point where it just doesn’t matter and you care about nothing. All I seem to care about is sleep and food and nothing else. It’s a numbness all over, that covers me, flows through me. I feel like I am a hole, empty, dark, alone.

Ephuzz....I understand completely how you feel about life because I too feel that way (more lately than ever) even though I don't have a particular reason for it.I just don't feel like there is apoint for some reason. I guess all we have to do is to keep on going and find the good in things and believe that there is always a purpose for what happen even if we can't see the purpose now , and just to remember that things will always get better. Sorry that was a very long run on sentance. Also I agree with the comment below about your brother, I think she's exactly right.

Ephuzz...I have found that stressers like your current situation with your brother will lead to increased depression and feelings of hopelessness. I don't know how long your brother intends to stay unemployed, but brother or no brother...he wouldn't be putting the whole lot on me.  He is either going to get up every day and go look for work...take one day and not come home untill he finds work, ( I have done it), or continue to use you and his depression as an excuse, which in turn will further create problems for you.  You must alleviate this situation somehow...Confront it directly, calmly and clearly.  It must be done...and if your brother truly cares for you, he will stop at nothing to improve the financial situation that is clearly causing you troubles.  Laura
