Hi Saron, how are you? a for me still feeling like crap. My back has gotten a bit better, it still hurts quite a bit though. Im having alot of family problems and you know about the whole thing with my husband. As negative as things are around me im just trying not to let things get to me as much. its really hard but im just trying my best not to let anyone get me down because im hard on myself as it is. you asked if im able to stay with a relative before. I am living with my husband and sister. he mostly lives on the base where he is stationed and its far so hes not really around that much but im with family now ''my sister'' were not that close but atleast im not alone. Besides her i dont have any other family. its hard dealing with stuff going on around you on top of depression. im sorry for whinning so much. How have you been.I really want to thank you Sharon for being so supportive. I sometimes feel so bad but when read the posts you wrote me it made me feel so much better and brought a smile to my face. You are a really good person Sharon. I wish nothing but the best for you!

Kat, I hope you are doing better. Are you able to go stay with a friend or relative for a while until you can sort yourself out and think about your options? You don't want to make any big decisions on your own. You need someone with an objective opinion. How is your back? I know it is really hard at the moment to think of something positive but please remember that I am always here for you and you have someone in your corner. Please lean on my shoulders for support. Today has been a good day for me. This morning I woke up and felt happy for the first time in years. It is has continued throughout the day. In therapy today we discussed anger management and how I don't have any. Even in my early years I was angry. Take care and I am thinking of you, Hugs - Sharon

Thank you sooo much Sharon for you reply. right now I am in a really bad place I havent felt this bad for a long time. like what you said about your husband my husband is also becoming less tolerant. I am so mad right now at him. when he needs my support I am always here for him and now that I feel like **** its just to much of a hassle for him to be here for me. I want our marriage to work so bad but I will never forget the way he treated me. I dont want to be so resentfull to him but I just hate him right now. why should I wait for him (like I said hes in the military) he is never around at all and now that I I feel so bad physically and mentally,he isnt supportive at all. I dont know what to do I married him when I was 19 I think I made a mistake. I was so young and stupid back then its like now im just stuck . I am so confused. I dont really have any family and I am so scared of being alone now. I am not on meds now or seeing anyone for my depression. I have no medical insurance I am gonna get my medical insurance soon then I can get some help. I am so dam tired right now Sharon. I dont know what to do.

Hi, Kat. Sorry to hear about your back injury. Have you been to see anyone about it? Have you thought that your physical pain may be taking a toll on your mental/emotional side? I do know from my training in my work that there is a very strong connection between body and mind. When we're hurting or feeling good emotionally, our bodies tend to follow and again vice versa...It just concerns me for you because your posts seem much more dpressed and angry since your fall. Please have someone look at your spine...OK? Take care of yourself, Liz

Kat, I'm sorry you are in so much pain. I wish I could take some of your pain. You need to look deep down in your soul to determine what is right for you. You need to put yourself first. I am sure your husband is causing you more stress. I have found that my husband is becoming less tolerant of my situation. He has been extremely supportive throughout this ordeal but lately I can sense his frustration with me as I struggle with my kids and he has to pick-up the slack. This doesn't help me at all as I begin to second guess myself and that I am a failure. I also still feel a huge amount of guilt and worthliness. I also tend to over react in most situations and I can be quite obsessive. Sometimes I wonder if I have any good qualities. Take care and lots of hugs Sharon

Sharon, and Gabbi thank you so much for your support right now. I am in physical pain and also hurting inside. I am always worrying about my husband who is always gone more than I worry about myself. I am hurting bad now my back is killing me yet the only thing I can think about is my husband. If someone can get to me its him. I feel so trapped in this marriage. It makes me so sick.Kat

Thank you guys for all your replys. I am In a bad place now my depression is getting worse. I got a call from my mother harrassing me and my sister for money. we would give her money if she needs it but right now she is so mean should I give her money or just let it go? and with my injury with my back should I let my husband hurt me? I waited 6 months 2 times for him (hes in the military) as much as I am here for him he cant be here for me now he sais its too much trouble. I know depression hurts everyone around you but right now I dont feel like being judged. He isnt there for me at all. It feels like if our marriage is a big joke to him or something. Ive been waiting for him while hes been in the navy so long months after months and now that I need something he cant bring him self to do it. What is wrong with this picture. is it just me?
