I usually wake at night wanting to drive places but i need to work to have money to do this...i want to change my life around but dont know how to do this yet... arrrrrrrrrgh... patience i have NOT...looking for something to make me feel good... cant seem to find it... on edge more and more...feel like cutting myself to take the edge off... my partner used to put me to sleep by bitting my back and only then did i sleep...i guess that is all for now... and yet I have fly by thoughts... unworthy...

oh.. I SO completely relate to this. I could have typed it out myself.

Have you seen a pdoc? Are you on any meds?

BTW... I cut too... in moments of rage.

I can relate too. I am not at work today because the overwhelming stress has shut me down. I have lost jobs before relating to this, plus all of life's other challenges. Now I'm think the money may not be worth the stress. Maybe I am more ill than I realized and should just get on disability, heal myself, and go from there. Are you on meds? I'm still trying to get there. My insurance stinks.

    I miss traveling with my husband. Has anyone found a specific site regarding cruising for widow/widowers or any sightseeing trips. Not interested in being with couples and kids,,,I realize a cruise ship will have a portion size of families and couples, but perhaps they also put together a part of the cruise ship for groups of widows/widowers????

A deep longing accompaniedby the deepest Love some days. The heavy fog mayreturn and the next day, it may recede.Once again, it's...
