Following on from my thread last week spilling out all my angst about how my relationship is in its death throes, and I am still no closer to knowing what to do. I could really do with hearing how others have coped during the most difficult times in their lives, what they did to move on, and how things worked out.
I am feeling so scared, stuck, sad, and alone, part of me wishes I just didn't wake up one day. I know that's an awful thing to say and people have much worse things to deal with than I do, but I just feel so battered, bruised and worn down. The last year has been the hardest one for many years, possibly the hardest. I've lost two (what I thought were) close friends who I thought would be friends for life, one of them my closest friend for 15 years, my gorgeous doggy soulmate who died aged 6 out of the blue, our 13 year old dog isn't long for this world, and my relationship seems to have reached the end of the road, the thing I have so dreaded for years. I haven't worked for years due to ill health, though I am looking at ways of getting back to work, but I'm not holding my breath on that. I am really struggling to see a way out of this as I can't support myself financially, that's the thing that is the biggest hurdle.
I could really do with hearing how other people got themselves out of a seemingly impossible situation, to give me some hope that there is a way out of this. I'm sorry to sound so full of doom and gloom, and I know lots of other people have big worries of their own. :frown: I just feel that I'm sinking lower every day and that I've got no fight in me at the moment. I could do with a large dose of hope and inspiration; if only that were available on the NHS!
