Can't Handle Much More

Tuesday, July 24, 2012

What is the real problem here? I guess I would start with me and say, "Self, quit being to hard on yourself for starters and get out there and take charge."

I guess that is the real problem. I didn't really realize it until I just typed it in above. I guess wring things down does really help. Especially when you have no friends. I have lived out here in GA for over 15 years and still have made no more than 3 friends and those 3 friends, I am no longer friends with. I have tried reaching out to them and they never call me back when they say they will. So I gave up a while ago on making friends at all. I have actually tried making new friends and that don't turn out to well cause I don't ever go anywhere, but with my husband. Me loosing my friends that I did have was because of him is what they said. But oh well no loss I guess, cause if they were true friends they would have stuck around. Selfish people in this state, I have learn that since I first moved here over 15 years ago.

I really have no one to talk to anymore except my two kids and they are just kids so the won't understand most of the things I am telling them. But when I do need to talk my son (14) will sit and listen. My husband acts like it's a burden to him to even listen cause it's taking out of his time. I stay stressed all the time so I try to watch a movie to relieve the stress. If it has nothing to do with my husband and it don't benefit him he don't want to deal with it or hear about it. News flash "you should have never got married cause my problems are now yours too."

The only way I feel I can talk about my problems and feel that it might help me, is to write it down. Whether people respond back to me or not, I find it to help me a little better anyway. I just feel alone and would love to have my best friend (husband) at least back in life. We do absolutely nothing together. He won't even watch t.v. with me or even sleep in our bed with me anymore and hasn't in the last 6 months. The only time he gets in the bed with me is when we have sex. The only other time he gets in bed is only when he's sick and feeling depressed again.

I understand where he is coming from cause I live the life he is living cause we are one since we were married. He does not have to go through it alone. I wish he would let me help him and let me in his inner circle again like it used to be.

I wish the stress would just go away and other people would quit pushing our buttons and stay away from this house cause they are the ones starting all the chaos in this house. emoticon

    Getting out & doing things sound great, but I don't have a vehicle or any way of going. Definitely no friends to help out with that. That is why I am so stressed cause I don't get to hardly get out of the house til the weekends with my mother-in-law. Our only vehicle is always broke down & broke down now as we speak. Thank for everyone's feed back & advise!

    Hang in there and try to find something that YOU enjoy doing. I hope your hubby realizes what a great wife he has and things change for the better. emoticon

    Find a volunteer position, join a community center or gym, get involved in a hobby that interests you and that will get you out of the house and into the community. You need to take care of yourself first.

Feel free also to join our chat on this team and others. Many of us are more than willing to listen and provide as much support as we can for everything.

Hang in there and know that you are not alone.

    Try to pick up a hobby that gets you out of the house at least once a week and meeting with others. Maybe an exercise class, a sewing class, a local volunteer opportunity.

It will give you the chance to be out with others.

    A true friend will stick by you even when the chips are down. Sorry to hear about what you are going through. I hope things improve. Marriage can be complicated but if two are willing to work things out it can get better. I am not good with advice but I can share my testimony sometime. My heart breaks when I read about people who don't have much of a support system. That's why SP helps so much. I will keep you in my prayers. HUGS!

    Hang in there. So cliche I know but I found that my stresses and the way I view others began to change for the better when I began to change for the better. I think I am much more fun to be around now emoticon And I enjoy being around me now :)

Venting and writing helps me also. I read your SP page, about not being able to exercise and I have learned that the good news is that 80% of this journey is nutrition! Exercise is good and all, builds healthy hearts and strong bones and endurance and lots of good things, but the business of losing weight is more about what we put in our mouths. Isnt that great news?! I cant always exercise like I should, but no one else is force feeding me so I can make good choices! And when I have times of not so great choices, I can always do better next time rather than give up.

You can do this! We are all here for you!
