I am not OK.
I tell people that I am not OK, and I get the "you have always been strong, you'll be fine".
My life has fallen apart and there are few people left who care enough to feign interest.
Years of wasted potential and skills in fields that will never make me money or give me happiness. A job I hate and all my hobbies ave either had me lose interest in them or I lack the funds to continue with them
The last girl I was with shattered my heart after years and now I can barely find a reason to get up.
But worst of all I have people who need me, so I have tried to be strong for them, but now I am out of strength and I need a rest. I have bags under my eyes and I am aging 5 years every 12 months,
So when someone says "Are you OK" how do I make them understand? How do I get a break?
When people ask how you are, you should respond with "fine, how about you?" or something similar. No one gives a fucking shit about how you feel it's just something you ask to be polite.

if you don't believe that they geniunely care, then just respond in whichever way will end the conversation the quickest.
>how do you get a break?
not nearly enough information in your post. you say there are people in your life depending on you. does this mean you cannot pursue the field/activity that makes you happy?

silly americans
why do you do this? this is why the rest of the world (europeans atleast) despise you. you're so fake it hurts. in the nordics obvious fake politeness is more rude than just being rude.

what I would really like to do is just stop working for even a little bit. But if I did that what is left of my family would be homeless, people would go hungry and it would be only a matter of time until the bank got tired of sending overdue letters.
I can't get off this wild ride

family with disability or aged unable to work and no retirement fund? why are you responsible for them? is it actually nessecary or are you just a pushover that they can leach on?
if the latter, I would suggest putting yourself first and cutting down on work.
