Yipee! See you guys over there!
Just wanted to respond to HRO though.
HRO
We are all here is to share the good and the bad. We want to hear how you are and help you progress toward bettering your life.
With the notion that misery loves company....My situation continues to spiral downhill. My H, for the most part, is "gone" too....off in some land of self destruction and misery, and yet, he is here everyday. I am completely exhausted and feeling very lonely.
The latest is that he has pneumonia. Can’t take antidepressants. Didn’t get the health insurance that I found for him. All he had to do was fill out a form. Now, we suffered through the night, when we should have gone to the emergency room. Got ahold of his Dr. this morn and his prescription is $122 – simple penicillin. And I find myself now taking care of his physical condition in addition to his emotional illness. I'm very weary, but....taking care of myself too.
I went to look at a condo today, which was kind of an excercise for me to know that I can leave this situation if I have too. It was adorable, but much too small, and I'm not really ready to leave yet. I am holding out some hope in that his meds bring back the guy I used to know.
I hope your time away with your kids is helpful. I think it is a good way to regain yourself is to remove yourself from the situation for a while. Enjoy your holidays with your children!
Hopeful: Thank you for the compliment, but your advice and support has always been helpful and well received. I think my exterior is much more composed than my interior self. Now more than ever, I feel so uncertain, scared, and need to be brought back to that center. I need you people to remind me that I am not crazy and that I need to keep doing something that helps me deal with all this turmoil. Your sense of humor has been a great help too!(((((hugs)))
