Life without Peace of Mind Today, I have one of the most painful experience a person who is in need could get through. As I have shared I am struggling so much in financial aspect due to my health issue while I am currently pregnant. Others may have judged me and that is fine. People who has enough or more than enough would think people like me are toxic and I understand. That is why I keep my distance. With all the downs I have gone through these past few years I think I got used to people talking behind my back and saying things against me. I got used to people afraid to mingle with me because I might ask for help or I might ask to borrow money. The most painful thing about being in need is that you do not have the courage to stand your ground and that you have to just look down, close your eyes and deeply sigh with those hurtful words. I feel harassed. Today is the 15th of July in our country. We might have different time zone though. Every time 15th and 30th of each month came I always feel nervous because there are people who would surely call and message me nonstop to ask for payment. Please do not get me wrong, I pay them even when it is delay or installment. I update when I am awake and I reply to messages as much as possible. I have this close friend whom I have borrowed money for numerous times (with interest). Earlier, she messaged me to update and send her my payment but was not able to notice because I was asleep since I had a graveyard shift. Later on, my partner woke me up saying that someone keeps on calling and texting my mom's number and even my phone keeps receiving notification both messenger and my personal number. When I checked she has a lot of messages already and I was so shocked. This close friend knows my situation and my story because shes one of those that I trusted but today totally broke my heart.
At 7AM earlier she sent me a message and tried to call me asking me to send her my payment but was not able to read because I charged my phone at around 6am right after my shift and put it on silent mode since I am about to sleep.
Normally, I would wake up at around 2-3pm and with the numerous times that I borrowed from her this is the first time that she acted this way. She knows everything about whats going on and she knows that I kept feeling sleepy due to my condition. In this message she is saying that she need me to pay her at exactly 1pm.
My partner decided to woke me up despite me always telling them not to do so because I want to at least have a proper sleep with all the things and burdens. She even texted and called my mom. Before this thing happened, few weeks ago I chatted her while crying because someone also harassed me just because I was on emergency and can't pay due to my current condition. I think she thought by then that I may also give her reason so I can avoid paying her. What pains me is that, I thought she knew me already since we've been friends since high school. I thought she trusted me but I only realize that it is all to gain profit for her and her cousin's lending business. She was good at me before I shared the harassment incident. She even asked me to just understand the side of the other person and I told her I don't hold grudge but I just got hurt only to realize that she can do the same at the end. Now that I am typing this I am crying my heart out. God knows I did my best to get off from this miserable situation but everytime I do another problem would arise. I feel like I am going insane. I am living in a never ending cycle of struggles that I do not know if I can get back up. I only gain pain and a lesson that I should not trust nor stay close. Sorry for ranting my misfortune but I will lose my sanity if I could not share my pain. Thank you for reading this nonsense.

Ask lang ko Glez.. imong bana naay trabaho? And do you guys have family planning method? Sorry to ask...when I should console you, but I always read your burdens in terms of financial.. nga ikaw ra ga shoulder. I advised you before not to give your all kay ug mahurot ka...walay lain makatabang nimo, I swear.. kay I remember you still support your siblings in studying despite you already have your own family. I just want to say this, you can't fly if you keep all the burdens with you..and if possible, please practice family planning.. it's for your own good and the kids. Hugs! I know you're strong enough, but please don't push your limits.
Hello Eyb. No wla syay work kay wla mka bntay sa amoa 2 ka kids. And yes nag family planning mi but had to stop coz nagka issue ko sa health. Still we continued the natural method nalang and most likely this is gonna be the last pregnancy na... Ky i would have to go through ligation. Supposedly ok n unta ko. When my brother started working kay m help man sya but currently he has to focus man sa international application sa Manila so na hunong sya work and still waiting if unsa nsad ang next step plus couple of misfortunes. Hurot na kaayo ko Eyb pero i got no one to ask to help my family man kay mismo ang tao n dapat unta m take responsibility for us nag focus r sa iyang live in partner... Kapoy na .
Na, this is what I'm telling you.. ako kinamagulangan sad ko pero wala ko nag take responsibility sa ako mga igsoon, wala ko nipasalig musalo nila kay tabangunon sad ko.. muhatag ko ginagmay pero never nako gihurot kay in the end bisan pag blood related nato na sila.. they'll make their own choices and lives as well later on. Dili kaya sa akong mental health mo support nila..3 pa kabouk ako manghud puro ga skwela mao ako mama gyud nag sagubang.. I may sound selfish but I chose myself this time and besides kasabot man sad ako mama kay minyo naman ko. Laban lang gihapon Glez..makalingkawas ra ka ug dagko na mga bata..good choice gyud magpa liget na ka..aron di naka magsuffer kaayo..
Yes geng thats why sa akoa youngest sister na currently nag college akoa g advise to do Part time kay dli na nako sila mahakop tanan esp with my current condition. :'(
Na ayaw na gyud geng.. ako mga manghud gani, kapuyan napud kog support kay mga gahig ulo uy di mangita diskarte. Puro ra salig sa mama..mao wala gyud ko nagpasalig. We can't be a hero to others if we can't be a hero to ourselves first..
I hope you will overcome this challenge in your life.
Thank you 🥹 i pray the same thing too... Bigat bigat na.
Ako rin may mga problema na iniisip pero I do pray for it.
Sadly everytime i pray i get lost in the middle. Like i get drown of the burdens that im praying to be lifted... The how's, what ifs would linger that makes me forget that i am in the middle of praying.
