      Hi Steph, I haven't seen you in awhile and just read your last two journal posts from several weeks ago. Sorry, I never saw that you had posted anything before now. Loved the one about The Anchor Holds. Is everything okay? Just in case you're needing them, wanted to send some love and hugs your way! I do hope whatever is making you feel horrible is fixable. Prayers, hon, lots and lots of prayers, Judi

    • Close Bereavement
      Type: Loss of a Relative

      My boyfriend of four years lost his dad in January of this year. It has been very hard on him and his family and I hate seeing them hurt like this. It has taken a toll on our relationship, and sometimes I don't even know if we will make it. I just wish I could understand better.

      Treatments

      Crying Somewhat Helpful
      I feel a little better after, but I still don't know what to do.
      Getting Angry Not Working
      I don't really get angry, just frustrated. I'm an outsider to them and I don't know what to say or do or if there is even anything to be said or done.
      Keeping Busy Not Working
      I feel like the busier I am the more he feels like I don't have time for him. It's a constant struggle.
      Music Not Working
      The music I usually pick is too depressing and borderline pathetic.
      Prayer Working / Worked
      I feel helpless. But I know God knows what's best for everyone and He is the only One who can make it right again.
      Remembering Not Working
      Remembering what we used to be is too hard. Our relationship has changed so much this year.
      Support from Friends & Family Somewhat Helpful
      They always offer inspiring thoughts, but then when reality sets in again, it's hard to think positively.
      Talking Not Working
      We have talked about our relationship, but he can never think about how I feel through all of this. God knows I try my best to put myself in his shoes before I open my big mouth. I usually just end up getting my feelings hurt.
      Time Too Soon to Tell
      I have done a lot of reading on bereavement and grief, and from what I have read, the first year is the hardest. It is almost the one year mark, and I can see some improvement in his moods, but sometimes he has swings and I don't know what's going on.
    • Close Healthy Relationships

      My boyfriend of four years lost his dad in January of this year. It obviously has taken a toll on our relationship.

      Treatments

      Patience Not Working
      Nothing ever changes. Waiting around only makes me feel worse.
      Talking Not Working
      When we start talking it usually ends in us fighting. He can't see things my way even when I try my best to see things his.
      Writing Somewhat Helpful
      Writing my feeling out definitely allows me to vent, but the problem is still there.
    • Open College Stress

      I have struggled with juggling school, work, and my boyfriend for going on five years now. I lost my financial aid this spring when I failed a class. Luckily I got it back after I appealed. I have two more classes left to graduate with my Accounting degree. I want to go for my master's, but my GPA just isn't there yet. I'm really working hard at it, but my relationship with my boyfriend is difficult. My boyfriend's dad passed away in January and I feel like I'm not there for him enough.

      Treatments

      Sleep Working / Worked
      It makes me feel rejuvenated.
      Support from Friends & Family Working / Worked
      They give me good advice sometimes, but how well I do in school is completely up to me.
    • Open Children Of Divorced Parents

      My parents divorced when I was 3 years old. This is something I have lived with my whole life. Dad is in his third marriage, mom is in her fifth!

    • Open Breakups & Divorce

      Treatments

      Love Working / Worked
      I love him with all I have! There is no way that will ever change.
      Support from Friends & Family Working / Worked
      My friends are an amazing support group for me. They all agree with my decision 110%.
      Talking Working / Worked
      Talking about it helps reinforce why I made the decision I did and helps me to not regret it.
