Honestly, I'm not ok.

Needing to be honest and get emotion out.
I am going through such a tough time right now.  I have no friends, family, support system, church, or any social life whatsoever in this horrible place.  I absolutely hate it here.  It is one massive concrete city full of cars, traffic, and exhaust.   And weeds and trash everywhere.   I miss the coutryside where I can actually hear crickets at night and see the mountains from many views.  I miss having a LIFE.  Doing fun things.  Anything. With anyone.  I miss the days where I did not work, work, work, work, work.  These 50 + hour weeks are really getting to me and I must change it.  I don't know how.  I miss being and having a place to run.  To get away from all the chaos and just go.  There is no where here to do that.  I feel so trapped. The gyms are dirty, the roads are dirty, the streets are dirty, everything is dirty.
My profession is a helping profession where I give so much every day.  Unless you have been in this type of work, you cannot relate.  I am so drained by this and by the fact that I am dealing with so many things there on top of that, and then lack the ability to recharge at all.  I have tried everything and literally cannot get my energy back.  This place is killing me.  Draining what little bit of life I have left.  Sucking me dry.  I was not made for this.  Others are.  I am not.  I cannot escape. 

I just want. my. life. back.

I feel so incredibly stuck and cannot get out of this season. 2 years of this is too long.  I am a firm believer that if you don't like the way your life is going, change it.  I am not at the liberty to do anything.   I am beyond miserable and just want to force the hand to get me out of this!! I am SO MAD! I want out of this mess.  Get me out of this concrete psycho place.  God, please. Please. Please. The stress is so intense some days I can't even cry or feel any emotion.  I feel that I am just shriveling up and am hoping that there is still a glimmer of who I really am on the inside still preserved after all this passes. There is so much on my shoulders I feel that I might break any minute or day now. I can't keep going like this, God!!

I know that if I do not vent, I eat.  And just keep eating.  So this is my vent session to try to avoid that.  I am so beyond lonely, I can't even tell you.  Please, God.  Do something.  I am so desperate. For trying to avoid complaining, I have been silent for the most part.  I can't remain silent anymore. Most days, I go hours with no interaction with anyone.  Thank God I have my puppy.  Someone to talk to.  I am dying inside.  It feels like all I do is cry and vent. Cry and vent.  I need help and don't know where to go or who to ask.  I have never felt so desolate and so afraid that this is what the future holds permanently.  I just need something to happen.  Some relief.   I just need some relief.  Some hope. Something....anything.  Please.   Don't let me die out.  I feel so much like my light is being snuffed away.  I need You, God. Please do something! Enough is ENOUGH!!!!
