My life is a mess and I don't know what to do to fix it.
I've been trying to fix a failing business for way too long and just got into such a mess financially.
I don't know what to do now to solve it all.
I'll need some ridiculously high paying job to support my family and solve this which isn't happening either.
My parents don't have an income or enough savings either so rely on me to help generate income.
We don't have the fancy trappings of life.
We live a pretty frugal existence.
I'm a nice guy.
We are still partly paying a past employee of many years since COVID lock down because we can't just ditch someone after all that time (nearly retiring). It's not a huge amount.
I'm very involved in my community and often help people out with issues around here.
I care for the planet.
I do as much as I can for the environment.and animals.
I even used to be involved as a lay minister as church for many years.
I've given so much of myself not expecting in return for any of that.
What I don't understand is that nothing seems to be working out for me and for us.
It's like I have a curse.
Where I've tried it's failed yet other competitors in our industry seem to be fine.
I no longer believe in Christianity but I do still believe in a God, except praying for help has been fruitless so far no matter which beliefs I have.
Right now the only solution I can see here is to end it all and hope for forgiveness for murder in the next life. I'm that desperate I'm considering murdering my family and pets and ending my life.
Or trade my soul with the devil so that everyone else here can be OK.

I'm the Problem

Just trust others right now to help you because you are not able to think clearly enough right now from the stress and overwhelm. This sounds scary and awful and it sounds like you feel like it is all on your shoulders to solve. Anything would be better, like walking away from all of the pressure, letting others take all of the burden off of your shoulders, accepting what it might feel like if others know that you have lost everything. ANYTHING is better than what your brain is telling you right now. Anxiety, fear, and overwhelm is high-jacking your reasoning and you need someone to help you feel safe and there will be a way out and a way to get through this with some sort of help. Even if it isn't resolveable, YOU WILL RECOVER from this. Call that number above, call SOMEBODY. Someone needs to help you think through things right now. We all need that when things get that hard. Thank you for writing.
