Betrayal/infidelity/depression

...See more Hey everyone. I am having a VERY difficult time dealing with my wife having an affair. My depression is making it almost impossible to move forward. We are supposed to be making our marriage work but the pain and betrayal and memories of the things I saw, and what she did are always flooding my brain. I feel so much sorrow and feel so insignificant. Is there anyone who has healed from a situation like this?

Lonely Wife Here...

...See more Hi! I need someone to talk to, or a friend. I’m not looking for a romantic relationship. I’m a wife, no kids. I love my husband, but things could be a lot better. I can’t talk to him because it creates arguments. I’ve tried the I feel, and we statements and it’s not working. At this point I’m disgusted just being around him and I hate myself for it. I feel like he’s this big kid, and I’m the responsible adult. Then other times, I feel like he is an old man, and I’m younger at heart. I’m 36 and he is 38. I feel like I’m stuck in my marriage. I don’t want a divorce, I just want things to get better but I don’t think they won’t. At this point... I’m just miserable and conflicted. He’s a good guy, I know the grass isn’t always greener on the other side. I just need someone to talk to. I’m weird but I prefer talking to men because I connect/ open up better. I just need someone who wants to listen and Give advice and isn’t sensitive to open minded, nothing off limits when it comes to talking kind of women. I curse like a sailor sometimes, and don’t have a filter most times. Thanks.

...See more Hello ,  I'm from New Jersey. I'm 37 years old. I'm currently really sick and can't go out of the house much. The isolation is driving me crazy. I'm extremely lonely in the house. Looking for people to connect with and talk but just online since I can't leave the house and make it to any plans right now.  Regards, Shenaz

Struggling with Health Issues
by easySail1800

...See more Hi! My name is Brian. I am 39 years old. I am new to this thread but it's nice to see a over 35 group here. About a year ago I was diagnosed with Hashimoto's an autoimmune disease. Since then things have just getting worse unfortunately. Some of it is of my own doing and some of it is probably my mental health. I had preexisting mental health issues since I was a teenager along with ASD. It's been very challenging. I keep going back in my head to 2 years ago when things were better. Right now I've been working on finding a Doctor who understands the illness. So far the Doctors I've had haven't been the best.  I wasn't sure if there was anyone else here who struggles with an autoimmune illness. I had heard of Hashimoto's before I got diagnosed but never thought I would have it. I sometimes am still in a bit of denial and anger about it.

Loser nothing

...See more I'm a loser. I have nothing going for myself, never did.  All I have is deep wounds that get deeper with age, and trauma that becomes more traumatic as I age.  In my late 40s. Never had a job due to disability, never been a looker, never had a good body, never had good skin. My body and skin have always been scarred filled, from trauma and abuse and my body keloids so I have those all over .. Nobody ever befriended me, I've always been bullied my whole schooling years.. when I first entered school at 5 I was bullied and isolated. I've never had someone shown a genuine interest in me and wanted to be my friend or include me. I've never had a friend, never had any genuine people who wanted to be with me romantically and in a relationship. They'd lie, pretend, use me and discard me like trash, often ghosting me or making up something to exit my life. No kids, no husband, no friends, no long term partner, no family, no one really talks to me unless they see me collecting mail or packages and they can't get away before I spot them ..and it's always an obligated forced good morning, and their eyes roam and a sense of urgency to get away from me as soon as possible when they ask me how I'm doing.  Their eyes always pleading for me just to say fine so they can leave. I stay in my bed mostly , only to get up and handle the absolute necessary. I don't go anywhere. I am house bond. Which I prefer ..but sometimes it often gets lonely and depressing .. especially when I people watch from my window. I just mostly doom scroll all day or sleep.  I live around a bunch of people and no one ever checks on me or even thinks of sending the cops over to do a wellness check....when I accidentally see people who live in the area after a long time ..I usually get people pretending they care saying that they haven't seen me in a long time, and wondered if I still lived here. I've also lived in the same house since I was 11.. same bedroom...never lived anywhere else.  I also just cry a lot about all the trauma and things that have always been my life.  Everything within me is depressing and pitiful. If we ever go anywhere..I can't wait to ctb
