Day 6

Today will be important as I'll be the only person from our department in the office for the most of the day, which I've found can be a trigger.
Awareness precedes control, friend. You succeeded at the first step. I believe you can move to control now! Don't just exhaust yourself suffering triggers, fighting against it. Better yet, work to avoid the triggers altogether!

Day 8

Feeling low right now. My mother told me she is going to leave my dad and she is looking for a new apartment. It doesn't matter that much to me, but I'm worried about my young sister, she is 14. I'm worried about the route she is gonna take.

Day 9

Feeling grim today. I woke up around around 5.30 am and couldn't fall back asleep. I made some eggs for breakfast. Went to the gym with my gf.

I reached out to my psychotherapist because I need to share these things with someone.

Financial problems:

1. Full renovation of the floor of the house
2. My gf wants us to go to the seaside for a vacation
3. My gf wants to go to Spain which I do too but now is not the right moment
4. I have to buy a new car because I wouldn't be able to drive in the city center due to some bullshit low emission zone
5. I have an annual payment for a fund (stocks) I invested in

Obviously some of these things have to drop out. But as of right now, I can't do a single 1 let alone all of these things I mentioned.

I'm also worried about my young sister as I've mentioned before, my parents are splitting up and I don't want her to become a girl who is "difficult to be respected"

2 out of my 3 closer friends aren't that close to me right now and it's hard to imagine that it'd become better regarding those 2 friendships.

Well, I've got to stay strong! 💪
 
It is difficult for me to give a good response, because I've never been in this situation. But as you said all the points up there are difficult to meet at once. And I am not sure if you have already discussed it or not with your gf, but maybe you have to discuss these things and prioritize them together as definitely some of them have to be postponed?
I am sorry about your family situation, and, as I understand from your messages, in the country where you are coming from, it is not regarded good when a girl is raised up without a father. Have your parents considered this side as well?
It is difficult for me to give advice as these issues are very delicate and I might not be the best person to give advice in these matters.
But I am sure that the situation can be improved to a certain extent through honest conversation and feedback.
Good luck! I hope it gets better soon!
