In very difficult situations, it is easy to feel overwhelmed and that you have limited options to improve the situation, or even to extricate yourself from it completely. In these circumstances, it is understandable to feel defeated, which can take a toll on your mental, physical and emotional health.

Best wishes and have a great day!!
