Dear Friend,

I'm writing to you today as a struggling single mother, feeling overwhelmed by the weight of mental and financial stress. Every day, I wake up with a sense of uncertainty, wondering how I'll make ends meet and provide for my family.

The pressure to be everything to everyone is crushing me. I'm the sole breadwinner, caregiver, and emotional support system. I'm exhausted, both physically and mentally. The anxiety and fear of the unknown are constant companions, making it hard to sleep at night.

Despite my best efforts, I feel like I'm drowning in debt, bills, and responsibilities. The stress is taking a toll on my relationships, my health, and my overall well-being. I feel like I'm losing myself in the process.

But even in the midst of all this chaos, I'm trying. I'm trying to stay positive, to find joy in the little things, and to hold onto hope. I'm trying to be strong for my family, even when I feel like I'm breaking inside.

I know I'm not alone in this struggle. There are countless single mothers out there facing similar challenges. I see you, I hear you, and I feel you. We're in this together, even when it feels like we're alone.

I just needed to vent, to let someone know how I'm feeling. I needed to remind myself that I'm doing the best I can, and that's something to be proud of.

Thank you for listening, friend. Keep trying, keep pushing forward. We got this, even when it feels like we don't.

Sincerely,
Silent screamer
