Hello. I'm new to this but figure any help is better than none. I feel so stressed out. I guess mainly because my husband is deployed and I have two young children and we are currently living in a different state due to a recent change of post. I'm alone. I love being a wife and mom but it seems I disappeared once I got married and became a mom. I go to online school but that doesn't give me much of an outside life. I just can't help but to feel everyone is depending on me. But what they fail to realize is that I need help to. I feel guilty but for instances my husband is serving and I am grateful for our men and women serving, but he expects too much from me. I was diagnosed with being depress and from being a serious cutter. And lately I feel so much discomfort on my chest. I just need to let it out and hope it is of help.
I am very sorry to hear about your feelings of loneliness and over whelmed. I too suffer terribly from aloneness, I work for myself, by myself. My wife left me with my 3 young children - I am heartbroken. You must be strong for your children - one day ata time or one hour at a time or one minute at a time. Please hang in there. I know it is tough. I too suffer from depession for mos of my life since my father died when I was 15, and now my own family has disentegrated by my wife leaving. Know that you are not alone with your struggles.
I send Love and I said a little prayer for you and your children and your husband.
