Joined this weekend when searching for crisis help for my 9 year old. Trying to learn way around. Fighting the numb feeling of being overwhelmed and crawling into my proverbial shell (am a cancer)
Hi. I'm new. Seems like lots of info here
Hey!
Hi everyone this is my first post I just joined today and am new to threads and things but I'm gonna try to follow this . It sure beats getting dressed and going anywhere right now. My life feels life it is a jumbled mess and my mind feels like it has just shut down . There is way to much ro talk about but most important is my 25 yr old so left for rehab in another state 9 days ago and is completely detoxed as of Sat . But will be in the rehab part for atleast a month. Getting him there has been a volatile,painful, scary and damaging time for his dad me and his sister who is a recovering addict also. I have been experiencing these feelings of severe overwhelmed and anxiety for a few mnths and find it so hard to put one foot on front of the other . This is not me. I am always a go getter and doing something all the time. My mental shut down kinda started after the Hurrcane last year. I dont know how to fix it. I have no friends. I am a very anti social type but it iant good for me. I have been married 30 yrs this Dec and we love one another very much however we have no intamacy since his stroke 2 yr ago. So do we really love each other or are we just comfortable and dont want to make a change? I am approaching 50 and the doc have said for yrs I am premenopausal with no testing to back it up so could this all be hormonal? Where am I this isn't me . If this is the change 9f life I dont like it. Sorry for the rambling but this is just the tip of the ice berg. Really .
I joined over the weekend, due to a lifetime of a bombardment of family issues, I grew up knowing I was worthless, emotionally living on or near rock bottom, it lead to a bad marriage, which I left 4 years ago, I'm heading in the right direction, I still have lows, and want to curl up and avoid life. I want to find out how to communicate with others freely, word's can be inadequate to explain the things I want to say without feeling that I've said it wrong or burdened others, or they just don't want to know.
Hey there,
I really want to share and connect with others going through similar experiences as me on here. I'm completely new to this type of platform and find it a bit daunting but I badly need to sort myself out and start moving forward more positively.
I'm 29 and feel completely stuck in life. I don't know what I'm doing or what I want to do. I have a poor track record of relationships and my confidence and self-esteem has always been low. I've recently experienced two losses and a great deal of stress involving my living situation. I also currently have a very sick grandparent in hospital who potentially wont be with us for much longer. That coupled with depression, anxiety and a general feeling of "what is the point of any of this?" has been making it incredibly hard to keep going.
Hi Cinnabar, I'm sorry to hear you are going through a hard time. I struggled with relationships for a long time, allthough I now actually managed to find somebody who was able to look past my defects. Life throws a lot at us sometimes, I usually remind myself that all these things are only temporary.
Feel free to contact me if you would like@CinnabarMoth
