I know how hard it is to feel safe and how it feels irrelevant during covid. Its very lonely......without calls...invites.....etc. Its a time without human contact and on top, some of have phones that never ring. Im so sorry...it is so difficult. Friday-without an anchor...I just dont even know...

Rosebud, FYI you do matter. Everything you do does matter. (((hugs)))) You definitely matter!

Rosebud, yes. Why does life just come easy for some early in life-and I know many. When I look in the mirror, all I see is a tense person. If I cant fool myself, Im sure not fooling others. Its a face of great stress. It crunches up. Even though I am not at the very moment. Life has been hard...

I am so sorry Rosebud that you are feeling so bad. I do know what that feels like to feel totally abandon. Your words reminded me of my thoughts on God. Growing up, Santa or the Easter Bunny or tooth fairy never came to our house. We weren't very churchy but my cousins were and told me God...

I seem to have less anxiety with the staying at home thing. My mood also gets lower at times. It is hard having nothing to look forward to. I sleep a lot. I have become even more lazy. (I was never a lazy person) I have gotten to where I dont even want to go buy groceries. A couple weeks ago I...

I don't usually have nightmares anymore. I kind of have the freedom to sleep when ever I want, so I do fall asleep late, like 2 am. In the past year or so, I dream but its about everyday things....nothing alarming. Often in my dreams, my kids are still young, like grade school age. (they are...

I know its hard to put aside, but what he says really doesn't matter. As DharmaGirl has pointed out is true. You are strong and will have to take the steps to take back your life. What he is showing you now is as good as it gets.....Time for you to make plans to escape this and I am betting that...

I know it seems that you have tried it all, sure sounds like it. There are domestic violence hotlines (not crisis) that can listen and help you make decisions on what you want to do. You said you have done the section 8 and assistance before. How was that? It would seem to be much better than...

Im sorry things are so bad right now. Have you considered income based housing? In some cities, its actually not bad. If your income is low enough, you could qualify for food stamps and a medical card. I know that it would be tough but there are also many charities that might be able to help...

Good for you for quitting and wanting better for yourself. That is most important. I dont see your mom betraying you though. She is unwilling to lie for you and has set that boundary. You would like feel better if you asserted yourself in this situation. There are many things you could do to...

Rosebud, thank you for the kind words about my sharing this personal account. I have to remind myself, guilt is about what I have done, shame is about who I am.

Im sorry you're feeling that way Rosebud. I dont think you are whining and its ok to get these things off your chest. I know not talking about it doesn't make it go away either. I feel much of what you said as well. We think of emotions as negative and positive, good and bad, but sometimes they...

Never feel shame for being played. I just had to come clean on one. My husband and I were trying to work it out after 10 yrs of separation, He used my car and left lights on. The next day, got pissed and left in a hot minute. I asked neighbor to jump me. He did. I was in distress (clearly). Left...

Rosebud, I sure get where it comes from. The family I grew up in bred guilt and shame. I still feel guilt for things I have nothing to do with. This is so messed up.

Thank you so much ms spock. Right now I am just so overwhelmed, or underwhelmed. Watching all this on tv regularly seems to come down to....they just don't know......so much of the time. Now with all these strains, keeping up with them and the information is getting so much harder to digest...

ms spock, I love your post and how informed you are. I have a head injury and can not comprehend all of this. I don't mean to be a smart ass, but you are way ahead of me. ((((hugs if thats ok)))). I have so much trouble just dealing with facts. I am into the scientist and am not one of those...

Many things. A little fear. A bit of hurt and victim. A bit excited. A bit funny (comedian), a little anger, a little shame. Ahhh, when I said shame, I reacted. Of all the good.....the shame is the key

Yes the enjoyment of transforming old houses is priceless....until it's not anymore. I know only a little about Menieres and that it can cause serious vertigo as well as other problems. MS is very serious....you really do need to keep stress down and take good care of yourself. No competition...

Recovery4Me- You get me! Was going to join gym after holidays last year but covid hit. My daughter has the insta pot and loves it. I was thinking about the latest "air fryer" which I am hearing so much good about. Sometimes I do like to cook, but am moody about it. I have always been one that...

Recovery4Me-I am glad to hear that you are decompressing in a less intense location. Sounds like you are doing a great job of refocusing and seeing how you are not at fault for things you have taken on in the past. That tool box is essential. I love your analogy of a computer being bogged...

Do others have extreme fatigue with this? I was diagnosed with CFIDS before fibromyalgia . Then I had many healthy years. My fatigue is overwhelming now.

I too agree Friday. Also as Recovery4Me stated, I also like to be informed. Though much has been redundant. Didn't want to get into politics, but Trump gone is promising. Though there is still so much else. More vaccines coming out is hopeful. The covid has felt heavy on me. I am one of those...

I am grateful for warm soft bedding on this snowy day. I am grateful for warm food on this cold day. I am grateful that my husband went out in the snow to get the warm food. I am grateful for my pups that keep me company and entertained.

A gummy bear and a beer. Life is good at the moment
