Endless Hopeless Bleak Despair

To fall into this place is not unfamiliar and yet it hurts so much every single time.

I have to go home tomorrow, to my shit life, with my miserable husband in my nasty house, in my lonely corner. I don't arrive until Tuesday. The drive is endless.

My friend Kate is about to deliver her fourth child. Joyous news, but it makes me so sad.

Time passes. I get better I guess, but really, only Older. So much love to give and no one to give it to.

I will be the old childless lady in the creepy house with 30 cats who collects dolls.

I hope not. Cat poop stinks...lol. Seriously, though...try to remain positive and keep your head up. You never know, it might not be so bad this time. Hope it works out for you.

I am on the verge of crash also. I've been putting it off with prozac, but the prozac is not quite up to the job.
Listen, you can have everything, or what looks like everything and still crash! I have a good husband, a beautiful house, lots of pet parrots. My grown kids are a pain, but I'm probably in good company there!
Point is no matter how much is going right that brain chemistry still makes me crash.
God, I feel it coming. I am trying so hard to push it back, it's still coming!

Naw you won't be alone - you're too fun and beautiful. Some goofball will fall head over heels for you one day - hopefully a younger man that you can mold into your very own cabana boy! (Partially my story!) LOL!!!
Wish we could be there with you on your drive home. Just know I'm thinking of you my friend!!!

Cats and dolls sounds like a fairly good life to me, although I have neither. But then I don't know anything that's endless or hopeless. Bleak maybe, but that's just to balance out the happiness. Maybe you just need to pick up some more positive adjectives. That's good for the short term because we all know that if we don't make decisions then life has a way of making decisions for us. I'd rather make my own!

I love dolls. And cats are better than most men imo.

I wish I could just wrap my arms around you and hold you until you didn't need anyone to hold you anymore...my heart and my love goes out to you dearest. Please find that glimmer of strength that is hidden somewhere deep inside of you. And when you find it, hold it in your hands and let it grow, letting nothing blow out it's light or it's warmth, for it will grow...and when it does so shall you.

You guys continue to astonish me with your boundless love and sweetness. Yes, Tommy, I suppose I do need more positive adjectives. Unfortunately all I can think of right now is the Bumblebee Tuna jingle.

At least my horse is waiting for me?

Don't be so hard on yourself. After my divorce from my first wife I never though I would get married again. But it did happen and I've been married to a woman who loves me even though I have bp. Never give up. Thomas Edison failed ten thosand times before finding the solution to the lightbulb. Your day will come.Good luck.

    I'm trying to exercise daily. I was doing fairly well until I sprained my ankle 2 weeks ago but now I'm getting back on the horse. Today I walked over a mile with my arm weights that are about 22lbs total. I was out of shape and it was hard on my arms. I also did my 30 situps. I'm also going to drink a lot of water and try to eat healthy. I do tend to have a sweet tooth but I'm cutting...
