CTB plan on hold because of family?

[ClaireBear31]

My teenage daughter was just diagnosed with depression. I feel super guilty now for wanting to CTB because it would trigger her depression even worse... but I cannot bear the thought of sticking around to help support yet another person. My whole life I have done nothing but help others and I'm just exhausted

Take some time out for yourself!

Please don't ctb, your family needs you more than you know. If my parents (god forbid) died, I would kill myself. and that's not to guilt trip you, that's a fact

Can you tell me about why you want to ctb?

Can you tell me about why you want to ctb?

There are many reasons but some would identify me should someone know me IRL. However, I can say that I have not one but two chronic diseases with no cure and I live in pain on a daily basis. I have tried every doctor and medication and there is no relief. Doctors agree that it is only going to progressively worsen.

I am so sorry you are going through this. Only you can answer would you being there help your daughter.

It is also your decision if your pain is so great, you don't think you can be useful to your daughter.

You know your relationship best, and what is in your heart.
