Why is this so hard???

<html>
<p><strong>If you don't enjoy posts looking for help, please skip on by. It feels as though I have weights in my fingers while I am typing this and I know I have a problem. My problem is that it is extraordinarily difficult for me to ask for help. What has spurred me into action though is I </strong><em><strong>need</strong></em><strong> to ease my husband's stress, and for that I am just going to have to risk the muscle strain typing with weights on my fingers will cause. (</strong><em><strong>Yes, yes humour is a defense mechanism!)</strong></em></p>
<p>I am not looking for donations, my problems seem so minor compared to others. I would appreciate upvotes and resteems more than you could know. As regular readers of my blog know we have been struggling with our small business since 2008. We were sucked into the easy credit of the years prior to 2008, and after the shit hit the fan, we have been left picking up the pieces ever since.</p>
<p><img src="https://s8.pixxxels.org/qkblfglqt/20170501_140536.jpg" width="580" height="800"/></p>
<p><em>(I really didn't know what kind of picture to use in a post like this???!!!)</em></p>
<p>Our small secondhand shop and online sales does make enough money to support us, but the debt always looms over us, and since we are in retail, a few quiet months (or even days) can be disastrous as we fall behind quickly. We are <em>slowly </em>shedding our debt and Steemit has helped a bit in this regard, for which I am so grateful it is difficult to put in words. I have been a consistent contributor to Steemit since late July 2016, but I have never hit the trending page, or even the hot page much. That's okay, as my posts will not appeal to everybody and I understand that. The slogan <em>"come for the money, but stay for the community" </em>is perfectly relevant in my case. Additionally for me, Steemit has become an outlet for my feelings and budding artistic (<em>haha again) </em>tendencies.&nbsp;</p>
<p><br></p>
<p>I have learnt to cope with my stress (mostly) over the last 10 years. I have had to. I nearly died 10 years ago and had to learn to change my coping methods in order to prevent, um, a <em>recurrence. </em>My pain at this moment is seeing the immense strain on my husband's face. We have a huge debt to pay by the end of the week and we are not sure if we are going to make it. This has put all thoughts of Christmas on hold, even though my sister from overseas is visiting for the first time in 10 years. I still need to organise food and a few small presents too and have no idea how I am going to do that.</p>
<p><br></p>
<p>My husband is a special gentle and quite charismatic person who works extraordinarily hard. He feels emotions so deeply and stress affects him desperately. As each day passes I can see the signs of strain etched in his face. I can feel his energy diminishing, and I feel helpless. He is busy with the massive job of moving everything out of our house to the new business premises and although he is 51 years old he is physically very strong, but the mental strain is leeching that strength. We have been together since 1989 and he is my soulmate. It is time for me to look after him right now.</p>
<p><br></p>
<p>We have an appalling credit record, though we have managed to avoid defaulting completely on anything for 10 years. For this reason my husband had to borrow money from a private person, and the stress of not being able to pay that person at the end of the week is unbelievable. We owe him R20 000 ($1570) and will probably be able to raise R8000 - R10 000 of that amount in the shop, though yesterday and today have been worryingly quiet. The value of SBD makes this a little more achievable at the moment. I sold 20 SBD yesterday which provided me with R3000, but I had to use that money for an account. It is for this reason I am asking for upvotes and resteems. I realise the payout for this article will only come next week, but I am hoping to lend money against the payout. It is all I can think of.</p>
<p><br></p>
<p>Now, <em>why is this so hard??? </em>I know why, I think. I am the maternal figure in the family. I am a mom and I look after everyone. I have 3 amazing children, who are the most content and unspoilt children, though they are given few luxuries, and I have never taken them for a holiday, <em>ever. </em>We haven't gone away in 14 years. I am the maternal figure to our staff, especially as they have all worked for us for periods of 8 years - 20 years. I am the oldest of 3 siblings, and I am fiercely protective of my brother and sister. My parents also stay with me, who I jointly financially support with my sister, even though it is very difficult to afford. I am the rock in friendships.</p>
<p><br></p>
<p><em>I am the helper.&nbsp;</em></p>
<p><br></p>
<p>I think this is the root of my problem, and yes it is a problem, because I need to go that extra step to help my family. I am not ashamed of not having material goods, or even holidays, though I feel bad for my kids. I think it is important we share our suffering so that others can know they are not alone. This time it is me, asking for help in the form of resteems and upvotes.&nbsp;</p>

Hi ma'am @onetree I can certainly feel your trou bles and stress. I can feel you because I have been there (at your situation) although we don't have a business, your financial struggle is very much the same to what I have experienced when I am young. All can say is, do not give up. God is with you. He will not forsake you.

Followed you and resteemed this post of yours

I just wrote about how hard it is to ask for help for some of us...  Toughen Up is the title if you're interested. I speak of how harmful it is to tell kids that, and that may be to blame for our "affliction" ;)

I am interested in hearing your ideas!

Hugs to you my friend <3

A little to help out, If your in a small town though really reach out to your loyal shoppers give them a reason to keep coming back. But also look at your supply stocks and whats working and what is not. Even open up some of your most popular items to online orders if you can support it. It takes some time but once you get systems in place the flow keeps going and the profits will continue to build.

I've been helping small businesses grow for the last 13 years of my life and own one myself so feel free to ask questions :)

I upvoted. But I want you to read my words and hear them. What's causing this hardship is that you're *trying*. You're trying to earn an income based on this ... trying isn't how that will work. A youtube creator can shill a lot of products and make nothing by trying. In this case, what I'm saying is just this; talk about and share the things you love as if it was of no consequence how they are received. Just as in actual life, that is how friends are found.

@dakini5d · Dec 21 '17 (edited)

100% Upvote.  I think the physical aspect of what stress does is paramount.  I suggest "the real red pill" from Infowarsstore.com.  It is perfect for stress related ailments, promoting circulation, artery health and mental clarity without stimulants.  Often what we see as mental ailments are actually physical ailments and the mainstream wants to frame these as mental health bc Big Pharma makes so much money off of medications for stress management, depression etc..  I would also recommend "adrenal health" by Gaia Herbs.  As for your own relief,  I have found that by committing myself to working on Steemit, the rewards begin after about 2 months.  So whatever your passion is, post on it with your full passion and the rewards will come to relieve your stress, in both monetary ease and love from the community.  Praying for ease for you both!!

Hey @onetree. I am sorry to read that you are going through a hard time in your life. Maybe this "time" is longer than you've expected it to be, but I am quite sure it will not last that much and better days are coming for you and your family. Seeking help even here on Steemit is the right thing to do. Many times we get help from complete strangers rather from our friends and family. Keep your head up and I am sure you will reach your goals :)

Hello @onetree. I saw your post in a resteem from @karenb54. It certainly sounds as if you are going through some bad times at the moment and asking for help is definitely the right thing to do. I have followed you, upvoted you and resteemed.  As someone who has gone through troubled times myself may I offer you some advice? Apart from what you have written in your post I obviously don't know your situation but it seems as if your husband is reaching a breaking point. If at all possible he should seek some medical help with regard to his mental health. I suffer from depression and medication is the only way I can effectively handle it. I overworked and found myself in many stressful situations and thought I was handling things well. That was until one day when I just broke. I became so bad that ending my life seemed a viable option. Now, I'm not saying that your husband is like that or ever will be but things can happen fast and seeking help now may be a wise choice. You also need to think of yourself. You are taking on a massive load at the moment and it will be taking a toil. Try and take a little time for yourself if you can, even if it is only a half hour in a bubble bath or some such.  You are no good to anyone if you are broken, so be a little selfish and make some me time. 

I hope I have not been too presumptuous. Wishing you all the very best.

@maninayton thank you so much for your thoughtful and insightful words. You are right, I am worried about my husband and honestly I've been in the situation where I have also longed for the *permanent escape*, though the sense of responsibility to my family would never allow it. It was unbelievably hard to ask for help, and I am quite overwhelmed by all the kind comments and support I have received. I have followed you too, and I am privileged to have found such a clearly kind soul.

I have seen a similar thing happen to my wife. Stress really is a silent killer. My wife has been highly stressed for years and up until about 2 month's ago she simply reached that breaking point. She can't drive anymore since she gets anxiety/pannick attacks, she's had pannick attacks at work and is still trying to recover. 

The point is, as you've stated above, that it all reaches that breaking point, without any clear warning signs, then it is too late.

Yes, I do believe stress is at the root of many of our problems. We live in a society where we are surrounded by stressors constantly. I, like you, just want to see the people around me not just survive, but be happy sometimes. But sometimes you find yourself in a situation which makes it impossible for a while. I hope you wife is receiving help? I know it doesn't work for everybody, but yoga helped me more than anything else to cope with daily life. Thank you for your comment and I send my love and prayers to your wife.

Wow, @onetree, I feel sad that I never knew of these problems in the background. Just yesterday I was talking to your husband and he is always cheerful and optimistic. He was talking about the new shop and that it will be busy moving the shop again. If I had known I would never have asked your husband for money for the boxes he gets from my recycling business. And now that I know the story I promise you will never pay for the boxes that you need, ever again. Don't stay away because you feel embarrassed about it. I honestly wish I knew before.  Since I am very new to this community I do see the upvote post but am unfamiliar with the resteeming.  Let me know how to do it and I will support you in that way as well. Good luck, I hope this helps.

Hi Nel, thank you for your kind offer! Business is difficult, but you know this. I would never take free boxes as you have a business to run too. So no arguments there!!! If you need any help with Steemit, feel free to visit me at the shop anytime. :)
