As a sale specilist, my current work situation is causing me great distress. My confidence has taken a hit, and I find myself lacking interest in my job. I feel intimidated by those around me and overwhelmed by the workload. These emotions have left me feeling unmotivated and useless, and I even start ti think that I's stupid.

To try and alleviate some of this stress, I took a couple of days off. However, I couldn't fully enjoy my time off due to the overwhelming guilt I felt about the impact my absence may have had on my colleagues.

Although I would love to leave this job, I am unable to do so because of financial responsibilities and not wanting to disappoint my gf.

in the past few years I’ve become almost non-functional. I lost everything… broken family, went bankrupt. Fucked up my career. have to start from scratch now. I had to relocate which adds to my stress. I feel trapped in a new place. I found an online gig but I struggle for money though I work till late evening.. which just adds to the feeling of low self-esteem. I’m still recovering from deep internal negativity. Some days I’m telling myself life’s going on and I’m alive. Other days I feel defeated. Most people spend their whole lives achieving financial freedom and security which I burnt in one year… I keep telling myself people have it worse. They get into car crashes, they die. And I just lost my fricking business.. The only reason I actually finally got around to typing this is because I need change.

anyway I might delete this post I’m just very stressed... and a little drunk...

Idk why but my problems are not decreasing instead they're doubling day by day. My father is not supporting us financially and always used to say he spent all his money on us. I am paying rent and bearing most of the expenses and still become the suspect.

I don't want to live such life where I am unable to cope with my mental and physical health and still listening wrong about myself.

I am struggling really hard to earn and get settle but my father always do something that worsen the situation.

I can't even buy a two wheeler for me as that money can be used in the house or anywhere if emergency occurs.

I can't buy this because if I bought it, there's parking issue so i have to park it outside the home that may cause yhe robbery.

Another reason is petrol/electricity bill taht i will have to bear because neither my father nor my younger brother who is also working in family business can afford to pay such.

If i say anything to anyone or if I put any status on wsap insta, people talk shit about me my mom starts scolding at me that you shouldn't do this. Instead of becoming my support system, everyone is becoming the source of stress for me.

Idk what to do but I am done with this and I can't afford to bare anymore. I am literally tired of everything.

Folks, I’m married to a great guy. We got married 2 years ago, at that time we were earning similar amount. I got 2 promos and my salary is now in top 0.05% club.

Now I want to live a certain lifestyle which my husband can’t. He earns 60% of what I do. And I know he is working hard, even bootstraped a startup. I see his hard work but it makes me anxious why would I always have to live like this in compromised state?

I even feel guilty sometimes. Is this normal?

on top of all this, I come from wealthy family with 0 family responsibilities. Husband on the other hand has to take care of his parents, buy them decent house , marry off his sister.

I feel that I won’t be able to enjoy life as I should .

any thoughts anyone experiences same??

I feel embarrassed in my circle of friends where we all can afford luxury like 2 euro trip a year, buy luxury house n car.. but I can’t because my husband can’t do all these things at one go.

In our society it’s ok for men to earn more.. but have you faced a situation like this where lady of house earn more than men and feel guilty of her success?

I some times think to divorce him, marry someone better off financially as well. I won’t ever ask money from my husband but futuristically I want to envision a good life per our earning standards not live sub par to it. Any thoughts?
