Feel really down, can't stop crying. Had a termination last week, was the only option and not upset about it but feel empty. DP hardly speaks to me, works away from home 3 nights a week and when he's at home works practically non stop including all night long lately. Trying to cope with 3 kids, a 9 mo who has just started walking!! No money, a tiny, messy house and just feel totally lonely and isolated. I only keep going for the kids but right now I'm not making their lives any better either. Just don't see any light at the end of this very long dark tunnel.

Thanks, it's good to get things off my chest and communicate with someone, just wish it was as easy with DP. I'm going to try and get to sleep now, even though he's still downstairs. When I get up in the morning he'll be leaving for work and I won't see him till Friday. I hope I can pull myself together because I hate being on my own when I'm feeling tis bad. Thanks again for your replies, good to know there's always someone out there.

Don't be lonely, MN is always here. Do you have anyone to invite round for coffee while DH is away? (I'll come )

Sleep well. Tommorow will be fine.

OMG, just lay down to try and get to sleep and all I can hear is him laughing very loudly, I presume he's watching tv. What is he not getting. I feel so low it's unreal, he's hardly looked up from his laptop all day, and now I'm in bed he's having a good old laugh. Why is life like this? I hate it.

GO AND TALK TO HIM !

3kids1cat · 02/04/2008 00:27

And say what? In between the sobs? I just went and got a drink of water and it was as if I was invisable.

Oh, blimey. What would happen if you went and sat on the sofa with him, asked him to talk to you. Tell him you're going to miss him when he's away.

Got to sleep about 3am, woke up at 7 just as he was leaving. He didn't come to bed again.
When I tried to talk to him last night, he just said that if he didn't work he'd get the sack. I told him how I feel (suicidal)and he said what did I want him to do. I said putting the laptop down and giving me a hug would be a start, and he couldn't even do that. Just said he had to get stuff finished, and that he couldn't sit 'looking after me' when he had work to do. This morning as he was walking out the door I said I couldn't believe he was just going, and he said 'yeah because I'm so selfish working all the time' then left. He'll be back late Friday. I feel awful, it's not even 9o'clock and I'm feeling like I can't make it through the day.

Your DH has his own issues... have to get breakfast now....will be back,... but you can do this.

LarryVeestAdamAntSpawnChorus · 02/04/2008 08:49

You poor thing. He doesn't sound very supportive [understatement] I'm sorry I don't have any wise words, just sympathy.

LynetteScavo · 02/04/2008 11:21

Bumping this for 3kids1cat.

3kids1cat · 02/04/2008 19:08

Feel as bad as I think is possible. Self harmed for the first time in ages, nothing major but I felt like I was losing control of everything. I feel invisible. DP has made me feel like I don't exist.
DS came back from staying at my sisters and cried and said he didn't want to come home. Seems like no one wants to be here and I don't blame them, I don't want to either.

Don't actually know why I just posted, not sure what I'm looking for.Should just put the kids to bed and go myself.

Hello 3kids
I don't know whether you're here or have gone to bed...The self-harming is a real wake-up call, a cry to YOURSELF for help to get you out of the situation you are now in.

I second what others have said about talking to a sympathetic GP - you might very well benefit from some counselling or group support - you sound like you feel very alone.

It could be that your DH is not responding to you because he does not know what he can DO to help. Have you said to him that you just need to talk, he just needs to listen, he does not need to do anything, just listen and comfort you. I feel that if you could just feel him comforting you, it might help and it might help
break down the distance there currently is between you.

Hello, are you around today? How are you feeling?
