Okay, so this whole thing is new to me. I have never been one into the whole "online therapy" but, I feel this is my only option.
I was married on September 1st, to an amazing man, he truly cherishes me and treats me amazingly well. I should be the happiest women alive and yet, I have never been more overwelmingly sad in my entire life. ITs to the point where I dont want to get out of bed, I feel like crying at the drop of a dime. I have been drinking more then I ever have.... I"m just genuinely not happy and am trying to take my attention off of my unhappiness by consuming alchohol... i know this.. and I do it anyway...
I have moved from New Jersey, where I have lived my entire life, where my whole family was no more then 10 minutes away to San Antonio Texas, and while his entire family is here, I dont have a single person that I feel I can talk to ... really truly talk to....
I mean how can i tell his family that I'm completely miserable and hate my life..... things are great when my husband is home, I feel loved and happpy but as soon as he walks out the door I feel completely alone and it is not a feeling I like.
I am used to having friends, companiions and people to call at any given time to go hang out and be with.....
I HATE BEING ALONE .... and having no choice but to post my deepest feelings and thoughts on an online chat board.....

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...
My fella works shifts and all funny hours so I am alone a lot. And sometimes it gets to me so i come here.
I know it amy feel silly but there really are some great people here x
i have to admit, im new to this too, and like you, its a last resort before i go mad. perhaps you could join a eve class so that you meet other people, just a thought. im here if you need to chat. take care xx
I feel alone sometimes even with my husband around. He does so much for me and tries to understand but I feel he is losing patience. There are many of us here that find ourselves with only cyberfriends. For me, it beats a blank. I have only one real friend in another town who won't come up my dirt road since she got herself a fancy new car. But she always invites me there and tries her best to understand my condition. I am also connected to the community thru the aids agency which helps. I am living in a place, though I loved it when we moved here, that is so isolated and for me to go get anything from the stores and esp the drug store takes a half hour. So I understand the isolation and haven't made quite the leap to adjusting to it and making friends. So I come here and go to
a chat room. Being here has helped me stop smoking too. My depression is improving. I am grateful for DS and the people who support me here.
Things others have suggested:a job, volunteer work, a class(or more) at a state college.And, a reminder: you have not lived there long at all, though it may feel it.The more you make yourself a part of your community, the sooner you will be recognized and befriended within it.
