      From happy4me June 20

      I just read your comment about BPD. I am going through the exact same thing as you except my husband started cheating 2yrs ago and left me and the kids. he hasnt filed for divorce and still acts like he has done nothing wrong. He doesnt believe the dr. who told him he is Bi-polar. He just blames me for his miserable life. it will be 18yrs of marraige next month and the worst 2 yrs of my life. Just wanted to let you know your not alone. I've lost everything including the house which is getting forclosed on soon. I just learned alot last Sunday. Maybe reading my last jopurnal entry will help you feel better. I hope it does. I also have fibro so I know that pain. Between the fibro and depression from our lives being messed up its hard to wonder why we keep going.
      take care!

      From NeedCoffee February 1

      You may think the world is hitting you hard and it is but you need to be more creative than the blows. Here I am handing you a bag of lemons. Forget the lemon aide no money in it. Make bars and give it to the people around you. It's amazing when you are not thinking about yourself how happy you can be. Then take one and write "sometimes life sucks lemons" on one and give it to a sad person. You might watch them laugh. I my self was homeless once. You can change your outlook and your odds.

      Type: Clinical (Major) Depression

      I have lost everything in my life, I have always taken care of others and always been abused, used and left alone. I never can complete anything because my opportunities and efforts are always taken from me before I hve the chance to complete. I have lost my family, my home and been in abusive relationships that have isolated me and taken all my resources.at my age there is little opportunity to start over with a job and career that will support the cost of living

    • Open Eating Disorders

      I suffered my entire life with my weight issues.I felt my best about my body when every one was telling me I was too thin It felt wonderful to be able to go into any store and find nice clothes that fit me well.But underneath it all I was suffering desperately and hated the way I felt about food.I felt if I ate anything it was a terrible thing that would make me fat and ugly I struggled trying to eat but usually had to get rid of it almost immediately because I was repusled by food.
