HI...

[BemusedAngel]

Hello to all. This is a difficult place to be right now, I would have hoped that my life would have been much more settled. I am going through a totally major life upheaval now, and feel the need to be connected. My husband has left, my job is gone, I have to sell my home and move... It's a little overwhelming. I don't want to sound like a loon, but definitely look forward to some chatting..

Hi,

Sounds like what you are dealing with in your life is not a little overwhelming, it is a lot overwhelming.

Having to cope with all those things, in which just one would be regarded as a major stressor, you are doing well.

For me I find it very helpful, just to sit down at the keyboard and let it all out, is the best kind of therapy for me.

I was without one-on-one therapy for too long a time. I really missed it. Now I am getting a short-term fix with it.
I am finding that this group seems just as essential as to me keeping my sanity, as getting therapy for a "professional".

Look forward to learning more about you.

Hey BemusedAngel - welcome here! You definitely deserve to feel overwhlemed but your difficult situation. All of those things happening alone are stressors... never mind all together! Be proud that you are dealing with everything and staying as strong as you can. Coming here for support was a great step in the right direction, and I hope to hear more from you often.

Lots of great people here... glad you joined!!!

It seems like it has gone quickly, but another week has gone by.

Bemused, hope things are going well with you, sounds like you have a lot going on but if you get a chance I am sure we all would like to know how you are coping.

Hi Bemused -
You've come to a great place for sympathy and support. We're all pretty much in the same boat, or at least in different places in the same boat, so just let 'r rip and tell us all about it. We're here to help each other.

Yes, we're all still here! I'm actually down myself a bit today... long boring times with nothing to do, I suppose. I also miss my boyfriend something awful. Why is is so much harder on holiday weekends??? The good news is, we'll be seeing each other very soon... I cannot wait. Hope all of you are doing well!!

[Aurelia5]

Amy -

Are you a moderator? I somehow thought you were?


a5

[aim]

Hey A... nope not a moderator. Would love to be, as these forums are important to me, as are the people who frequent them, but I'm a member here and nothing else.

Such a pleasure knowing you caring and fine people... if only the whole world were made up of people like we get here on the forums - what a much lovelier place the world would be!

[Aurelia5]

I found the part of the letter I had written to you about you getting into sales. I don't have a clue where it is, but you'll bump into it.
I thought you were a moderator because you're always with us. You are wonderful the way you're always here, greeting all the new people and shoring up the rest of us.


We need a heart. And a gold star.

You're a doll.

[Monty]

I totally agree with you a5, in regards to what a special person Amy is. Would like to add a gold star from me, together with yours.

I also think that it is fortunate that we have been able to find a place, where it all seems to click.

Think that part of it is that we are all in the same boat, and the other part is, well, we are just nice people who were able to find each other.

The no judging thing is very important to me in my regular life and is certainly respected in this forum.

first of all, thanks to all the people who replied.. I truly appreciate it more than you know. I am coping, but it is so hard right now.. It hurts so much, the husband who I stood by through his father's death, and irs stuff, and becoming a canadian, is with someone else now, and feels no remorse.. I can't even think somedays. I'm going through some counselling towards going back to school, through unemployment, and they tell me I shouldnt even necessarily try to go to school or anything right now, but to wait till things start to even out a bit. I cry every day... I know that I cant change what my ex did, or how he feels, and I don't want him back because I can't trust him, but it hurts so much.. I don't want to be by myself all the time, but I don't know how to interact. I dont' know if my meds should be changed. I have friends that I talk with and they are awesome, and help but they have lives too. Once I'm alone I can think again.. and I don't want to think...
