I am really sorry about your job situation. It is sure not worth your life. My husband has always put his job before his family, before his health, before his mental health. Its a job....and I know it makes all of us feel useful, but the fact is, if anyone of us died today, we would be replaced...

When it causes anxiety to commit to something weeks away. Please dont ask me to take you for a covid shot 20 days from now, I dont know where and how I will be by then.

Im sorry you are feeling this way. Why do you feel like you are just too much for long term friendships? Many people latch on to relationships, particularly if you feel depressed, lonely, and isolated. Sometimes I think friendships are better than they actually are. I give too much but the...

I have a friend who expects me to read her mind....she gets paranoid about things (which is another issue), gets mad and ghosts me. Then she will text and make up some story of how she got freaked out about something and I honestly don't believe her, but quit trying to figure out what she might...

Sometimes we may not think we are under much stress when in fact we are. A recent incident with my husband has put me under great stress, but from the outside looking in, most would not expect that. Most would say that I have a pretty stressful like. Yet who we live with, and how they react can...

Im on the other end of the spectrum, maybe OCD. Im sure it comes from my mother being a mess and never letting anyone in the house. In my younger days, I kept it cleaner. Nobody wore shoes in the house and I had a daily routine when my kids went to school. Husband is hoarder. He moved out and it...

Do you want to talk about it?

What are you having flashbacks of? Take deep breaths

Sorry, I guess I posted behaviors and not emotions. I cant handle abandonment, loneliness, (while being with someone), and feeling a fool

I can't handle deceit. I know I have been deceived and didn't know it. But I have been deceived and do know it, and I dont handle it well. My husband is very deceptive with money. I cant say I cant handle it because I do. Yet I dont do well with it. When I try to talk to him about anything...

Im here. Talk to me. Whats going on.

I think that a problem to the body and mind shutting down, it depends on how long it does this for. When days become weeks and week to months and even years, we can loose functions that once seemed so easy. We have muscle loss, loose strength among other things if check out for too long. The...

I agree ladee- my mom spent her last 2 years in a nursing home and I hated visiting there. I understand the lack of support and no family by choice. I have distanced myself from family of origin although one sisters is battling horrible cancer so we have minimal contact. This family has never...

ladee I am so sorry for the loss of your son. I haven't experienced it but 2 of my sisters have and I know it is the worst grief. 71 is not so old, and you could have many more years, but I totally understand when you say you don't want another 20. Im 62 and feel the same way. I have been...

ruborcoraxx, thank you , it was Niche, I couldn't remember. I do think some statements like these are shaming trauma survivors. Some things are genetic/hereditary, some environmental (like working in a coal mine or where you live), some are lifestyle (life style). The only one we have...

Yes there's an old saying, I think Albert Camus but I could be wrong "what doesn't kill you makes you stronger". I think that can also be true for some people.Say you grew up in the most ideal mentally healthy situation where you were nurtured and felt safe, were encouraged and praised, came...

Stress lowers the immune system. Many physical illnesses are related to stress including auto immune diseases. (Aside from accidents and suicides). Stressed people may also put different things in their body, including smoking and drinking. I read somewhere that carrying anger causes heart...

Intothelight. I do know this intellectually. Yet I feel like I need to take responsibility for my own action, or lack of. I have always had a blind spot that someone was going to hit on me in general. I really initially did not see this coming. Then I beat myself up. I have difficulty trusting...

Im sorry this post was so long.

When Stop means Go....When No means Maybe.... Im freaking old and would think this issue would have stopped by now. I don't go out or do stupid shit....but its evidently not me or my age. In 2015, I was 57 yrs old. My husband and I were trying to rebuild a relationship after long separation. He...

Im glad you are going to give it a try. Some people give it to God and that's wonderful. Some need to turn their thoughts over to professionals. Forget about those people who talk....if they were worthwhile, they would have something better to do. I have had these thoughts too and it can change...

I understand your fear. I professionally worked with a therapist who did exploit women, and I reported it. He was sent to an ethics course. I have more issues with trust since then for sure.

How fat I have become.....

Was a good day. I got me and my 91 yr old mother in law signed up for the vaccine next week. Dont know which one, but whatever it is, its better than nothing. This really put me in a good mood. Everyone else in my family works in health care so they have all got theirs.

Rosebud, what a great find. That is so awesome! My shower caddy has those suction things to hold it on the wall, it crashed down friday night and scared the p....out of me. Yesterday, I looked and it and went shopping for a new one instead of cleaning the mess up. I hardly go out anymore. I...
