Close Breakups & Divorce
My husband and I have been married for about 12 years, and just recently he came home with a folder from an attorney. The contents weren't divorce papers, but retaining papers. Before this he had mentioned seperating and I just thought that he ws testing me. I didn't really think that he was serious, until I saw that folder. When I saw that folder I knew that he wasn't joking. The past few days I have been feeling stressed out because now I need to find more steady work and figure things out.
Treatments
- Couples Counseling Not Working
- we would go and i would be honest, but i always felt like my husband was holding back and sometimes only telling us what we wanted to hear. I would do the assignments and my husband wouldn't. After awhile i got tired of doing the assignments on my own so i just started focusing on making myself happy. Hoping that he would see the changes and the progress that i have made within my self and that he would start to mirror that and start working on himself, but it didn't work.
- Family Therapy Not Working
- same as couples counseling
- Pets Somewhat Helpful
- We have a dog at home and when i feel down or in the dumps i go over to her and talk to her and pet her
- Support from Friends & Family Working / Worked
- when i feel like i need to talk, i'll call up a friend and talk to them. It helps most of the time. If i can talk to someone about what's bugging me i start to feel better. There are some occasions (mainly when i'm talking to family) when there are different viewpoints and i don't get the comfort and support that i'm looking for at that time. Then that's when talking doesn't help
- Talking Working / Worked
- see support from friends and family.
- Writing Working / Worked
- there are times when im unable to talk to people or talking to someone didnt help and i turn to writing. I find that writing does help. It helps me to get my feelings out and helps me clear my mind.
Close Hysterectomy
After the birth of my daughter I started to get really bad cramps before starting my period. I would go to my doctor and talk to him about it and was told it's just ovulation pain and discomfort. I never went back to him, but for the longest time (5 years) that's what I heard from every doctor, but one. She found what she thought was a cyst on my left ovary. I went through some tests to confirm that and a few weeks later was scheduled for surgery by an oncologist. I had a complete hysterectomy.
Treatments
- Estradiol Working / Worked
- For now it appears to be working and helping. I take the smallest dose which is 1mg. I havent experienced any side effects while taking this medication.
Open Financial Challenges
I am struggling with the day to day living of making ends meet. I've been a stay at home mom for the past 8 years and the last 2 years I took on an on call job within the school district of my town. I'm going through a divorce and am forced to find another job, and haven't been too successful in that depart. My stbx only gives me 100 a week and sometimes that's not enough. One of my biggest fears is that after the divorce I'm not going to be able to afford anything and wind up on the street.
Treatments
- Budgeting Somewhat Helpful
- This helps to an extent, but there are times when I wish I could pay things on my own rather than passing bills on and over to my stbx, who really doesn't want to pay them but does.
Open Parenting 'Tweens (9-12)
I have a 10 year old daughter she's in the 5 grade and will be going to middle school next year. She does ok in school, but she hates to read and has some difficulty with comprehension and has for some time. I had her in an after school program like Huntington Learning Center, it helped a little but she still has trouble. My big concern is when she enters middle school she won't be able to handle and retain all of the material that she's going to be reading. I'm not sure how to help her.
Treatments
- Education (School) Somewhat Helpful
- She has been in a school program where they help her with her reading during the school day. It helps a little but she still doesn't like to read and I don't want her to feel overwhelmed when she enters middle school next year. I also had the school test her for any disabilities and there were none that they found through their testing. My next step is to talk to her doctor at her next check up and see if they have any ideas.
