Welcome to MB.

How old are you and your DH?

How old are your babies?

You are not worthless, my dear.

You are not alone. God loves you and He has given you everything you need, but you can only give what you have to give. If you are running on empty, then you're weakening more each day. You must take time to fill your tank, even if it means locking yourself in the bathroom and reading one chapter in Proverbs. Or listen to some uplifting preaching whenever you are in the car. Even a 5 minute ride can give you a little boost. It really can make a difference in your outlook. There is nothing wrong with you. You are more than enough. Those voices in your head that tell you can't do it, that say you don't have what it takes, that say you won't make it one more day, they are lies and they are not your friend. And your husband may never know what it is you do and the pressure of being in your shoes, but it matters most what God says about you. You are precious and worth more than rubies. When you aren't sure if you have any more to give, when you wonder how to make it through another day, you find out what God says about you and you believe that and only that.

Sure, I am new to forums in general. How do I start a thread and should it go under general, etc?

If you go to what forum you want MB101 is for general, then hit NEW TOPIC at the top of each forum.

I did read the TOS, but I may have misunderstood. Every post must fall under one of the Basic Concepts?

We try not to post personal opinions. We post Dr. Harley's material and try and help guide posters with Dr. Harley's MB program.

Thank you Prisca. Was my reply too opinion filled? I didn't mean it to be, as much as I thought I could encourage the poster, and it seemed that she hadn't much response so far. I saw that her post had been viewed over a hundred times but didn't see much in the way of encouragement. I apologize if I jumped the gun.

The poster did receive a response from a board member but she has not replied yet. Once she answers Brainhurts questions and responds to the post, she will get some responses. But she has not responded to BH yet.

Hi! We are both 35..he is just 6 months older. Our babies are 3 and 1,5 years. He sometimes so much controlling that it causes more pressure and stress to me. Its not that i dont care about our babies and our future but the present it can be so overhelming..i get stuck. I want to break free from the bad mood low self esteem no motivation no energy and strength trap. I want to feel happy everyday to appreciate every day and our life to be strong to take care my family and me. Not to be tired and angry stressed and stomach sick all day.
