Just wanted to share some support and a quote by C.S. Lewis that comforts me in times like yours: "The fact that our heart yearns for something Earth can't supply is proof that Heaven must be our home."
When I'm exhausted and feel like I just can't keep up with the world, it helps to remember that the world, the self, the emotions I'm trying to keep up with are fallen. When you feel like you'll never make it out of the forest, don't stress. This life is the forest. You won't make it out until you are guided out by Christ at the end. All you can do is keep heading towards his light, so he can find you more quickly when it comes time. Your path will be crooked. This world does not supply straight paths.
I tend to think that everything will be okay as soon as I get through this tough season, and I spend my time longing for the near future, wishing the hard parts could be over. But this life is the hard part, all of it. We will spend it longing, because heaven is our home.
thank you ashlei! funnily enough, this is what God has been showing me lately.

Hoping this makes you feel better, and not worse.
