Hi everybody,
I try to get out of a highly abusive marriage. I have hell and find it difficult to cope. There is not much support because I have a good job and everybody thinks I do not need help when I am able to work. I am at breaking point. Also, the legal organisations are jealous of my payslip and want me to pay a fortune for their help. I had to look for a property day and night and still go to work. I am exhausted. I have not moved yet because the place is only available in 2 weeks and costs a fortune. I am so numb. And I cannot sleep, the abuse of the last 4-5 years reappears before my eyes all the time. I am anxious, little noises make me shiver and wanting to hide away. My family lives far away, I cannot tell them the real truth, they will be too worried.

Hey you and welcome here,
Have you contacted a shelter or national DV hotline? You having or not having a job has NO influence on what free options and services those offer you. This would include free phone counseling, free living in a shelter if you would prefer to leave right now instead of waiting for a house to be available, legal help etc.
Of course if the abuse becomes dangerous, please call the police and have them come to your house. Whatever you consider is the safest way to go, trust your gut.
Let us know how the calls went to the hotlines/and/or shelter if you felt like that was something you want to do.
