Is this situation humanly possible to carry on with? ....could YOU personally do this?

Hello, I would like to ask this question to you- the strangers who don't know me or have met me before, as it'll be less biased than friend and family answers...

Can you cope with 4 family based bereavements, post traumatic stress disorder, moderate depression and an illness that makes you fatigued/depressed at the same time and getting distracted from these factors while working full time every weekday having 3 hours of commuting per work day, doing a part time degree and having a long-distance relationship and 2-3 hours of sleep per weekday (weekends have about double the amount of sleep) at the same time?

I'm asking as a genuine question, as my friends and counselor told me it was too much for 1 person; I think i may of lasted longer if I wasn't sacked from that full time job! (for making mistakes in my work and slowness of productivity)

Sometimes I think I could of carried it on but needed Amphetamines to do so....what do you think?

Can one have it all? and at what costs

    Give yourself a break my friend. You are saddling too much on your back. You have got to get medical attention for your post-traumatic stress and whatever is making you physically fatigued. If you give yourself some time off to deal with those 2 issues first, it might make a difference for the better which will give you more strength to deal with the other issues. But you may also have to decide which issues have higher priority and dump off some of the lower priority things.

    One question are you happy doing all that?

    Not do you have to,

    Are YOU happy?

    If you are not happy then stop it.

    I went through these one at a time and i don't think i could. I mean the bereavements are in the past and the mental health is obviously making the present harder, and then you've got a pretty full schedule. YOU need to take care of YOURSELF. Yes, it is possible for a 'healthy' person to do, perhaps, you need to take a break i think. I know it's hard since you may already feel like your behind, i feel the same too, but you need a rest.

    Take care.

    You have painted a rather ugly picture of life in general, the task is often very daunting to say the least. I often reflect upon many of the things I have read of history ( the wars manly) in the making. My life is not that bad if one is to compare it some. Someone someplace some were is dealing with hardships that you couldn't even dream of. You are focusing on only you looking outside he box and observe some of the other things taking place. Keep an eye of the light at the end of that long tunnel because if you are not real careful someone may turn it of before you get to the end then you will be stuck in the dark.

    good question and i know what its like doing this and that not much time for yourself through personal experience it is just too much for noe and it can cause more harm than good you see the mistakes are ways of your body saying that you need rest sleep yes at least 71/2 hours a night to function properly you need to balance it out a bit more say do a few hours less work or a few hours less studying make the course a bit longer as at least once a week spend time with you friends and family sorry but they are right as ive done it and look at me now worse off that what i thought i would be

    simply NO.. everyone has there limits ..and when you push your self past those limits it often ends badly.. say you to tired fall asleep and crash you car you live but kills some one else..or you so tired you take drugs to over come but you heart gives out and you have a heart Attack and die .. there is a lot of time you have to set limits and understand those limits ... you can't have everything you want unless you want very little . this is why you have to set priorities and do just what you can handle because end the end you end up with nothing or dead if you push to hard. I have friends die or get is terrible messes from pushing to hard. just remember for every action the is a equal opposite reaction.. and so the hard you have to push the hard it will be just to get to the next day and stay healthy , and sane..

    Honestly, Im suprised youve lasted this long! Thats a LOT to take on for one person. Maybe its time to take a step back and simplify your life? Im so glad youre in counseling.And get more than 2-3 hrs of sleep. Ive seen someone have a nervous breakdown from lack of sleep and it isnt pretty!

    Having it at all has a price and its usually never easy! Your life does sound hectic but I know a lot of people who have a similar life to this, most find a way to cope. But its okay to adjust things not let life rule you but for you to rule your life. Good on you for doing all this and you should go get some sleep considering your sleep regime is really bad.

    No it's NOT humanly possible to do all this and survive! Stress burn out and depression are the outcomes of the desperate endeavour to do it all. Everyone needs time out and more than that amount of sleep. You can end up having a total breakdown if you keep trying to keep this up.

    on the present time, docs received't enable a being pregnant to progression that lengthy. If the mummy did not get carry of any prenatal care, there's a moderate a million in a million threat, inspite of the undeniable fact that there might want to be no precise thanks to inform precisely how far alongside she grow to be with out prenatal care. My son and my daughter were both one week overdue and my physician grow to be scheduling them both for induction 2 days after my due date.

    ok, I can assume your situations and problems, I would suggest you to have more sleep, 2-3 hours of sleep per weekday is way too less, please sleep more, it can solve all your depression problems :) atleast of 8 hours sleep a day is needed for you :)
