I don't even have it in me to post. I am so low. No explanation really. I posted a prayer request. Here is the link <A HREF="http://www.marriagebuilders.com/forum/Forum19/HTML/000080.html" TARGET=_blank>http://www.marriagebuilders.com/forum/Forum19/HTML/000080.html</A> / If you read it you may be able to figure out what is happening between the mass confussion of words.<P>I just don't know what to do. Sorry I am being so needy. I am feeling ashamed. <P>------------------<BR>God bless you and all of us.<P>Samantha<P>

Samantha -- <B>Don't</B> feel ashamed for being needy right now. We <B>all</B> feel that way from time to time. It's just a result of us being caring people and we want to be cared for in return.<P>Take a step back and do what new_beginning says...<B>STOP-REST-WAIT-DO NOTHING</B>. Look after yourself for a while. Your H is really trying. It may be that his honesty is a little too much for you right now. He is still confused, don't take everything he says to heart. He's there, he's trying. Take a deep breath and take comfort in the fact that he <B>is</B> there.<P>Hugs to you.<P>--DeWayne--<p>[This message has been edited by Heartpain (edited December 18, 1999).]

Whoa... I've been quoted!! And Sam, this is one time when I actually believe what I've said:<P><B>STOP-REST-WAIT-DO NOTHING</B><P>You have <B>no reason</B> to feel embarrassed or ashamed or needy... you are <B>human</B>... no more, no less... and you are in love with a hushand who cannot return the love right now, and that's heartbreaking. You also sound a bit depressed, if not outright totally depressed (this is where I need a confused face icon), and a trip to the doctor might be in order.<P>Take good care of yourself... you are <B>worth loving</B>!!! ![[Linked Image from marriagebuilders.com]](http://www.marriagebuilders.com/forum/images/icons/smile.gif) <BR>

You are and have been carrying a huge burden. And handling it with remarkable courage and conviction.<P>You are tired. You are sad and you are feeling the hurt that you've gone through.<P>It's ok. If you are depressed, Sheryl is right, see your doctor. And for a little while, don't try so hard. Rest. Do something for you - little tiny things to make yourself feel better.<P>There's nothing wrong with you and you are SUPPOSED to come here when the burden is too hard to carry alone. We are your family and your friends.<P>Take a million deep breaths and get some rest. And give yourself credit for the wonderful job you've been doing. You deserve it!!<P>{{{{{{{{{{{{Samantha}}}}}}}}}}}}<P>Lori

Heartpain, Newbeginning, and Lotsa,<P>Thanks for replying. All you have said makes perfect sense. I just feel so inadequate and lost. Don't understand. <P>Maybe it is the holiday blues????? Had such great expectations for the holidays. We are so much better than last year. He was here but wasn't. <P>It's been 10 months. Seems like forever. I know it isn't but I feel I am loosing my drive and everything else.<P>Still knowing you all are here helps. Thank you from the bottom of my heart.<P>------------------<BR>God bless you and all of us.<P>Samantha<P>
