Falling into a deep hole

My "best friend" ended our friendship because I asked her how her and my ex cousin in law were doing since they were/are talking in front of my ex, she came to yell at my face in front of him on why I asked her how her my ex cousin in law were doing... after that I've been depressed and out of it... couple of days after that I found out my mother got diagnosed with colon cancer.... my whole world came crashing down... people at work just talk trash about me..... I can't even deal with it.... I want to stay in bed in the dark and block everyone away.... tried talking to my husband he's more of a "you should do this" type of person and I'm just done trying to please everyone... my mom is my life and this diagnose has really made me fall... I harmed myself by making cuts on my wrists because there's no way out for me at least that's how I feel..... what should I do? 



I have no one to talk too without getting judged

I'm very sorry about your mother. It's completely understandable that this would be very upsetting to you. Losing a best friend and having a husband who does not seem to always understand can also be very upsetting. Not getting along with people at work is a very special kind of hell. You have every reason to consider this a highly stressful and/or depressing time. But rather than cut yourself (which accomplishes nothing but self-harm), I invite you to talk to a dr. about meds, and also go into talk therapy. Doing wither or both of these things will make you feel much better and stronger than cutting yourself. May God bless your day.

Oh my, this sounds like a really difficult time for you. I'm so sorry your friendship ended on such bad terms. And about your mom. With science and medicine today, cancer doesn't always have to mean a death sentence. My Dad had cancer and beat it. Your mom could do the same thing. I'm sorry everyone seems to be judging you. You won't find that here, so I'm glad you posted. Do you have medical insurance on your job, maybe you should consider talking to a therapist. Cutting may seem like a quick fix, but in the end it can turn into it's on monster. Keep sharing with us here. I would love to hear how things are going.

I am sorry your friendship ended on poor terms. So sorry that your mom has cancer. I know it is frightening, but the medical field has changed a lot. I had cancer two years ago. I had surgery, chemo and radiation and I am still in remission. There is always hope for your mom. You have a lot to be depressed about. Your husband falls short of being supporting and understanding. I understand how difficult it is to go to work everyday where you are not happy. Please don't harm or cut yourself. I would recommend that you make an appointment with a psychiatrist who may recommend medication and or therapy or counseling. Continue to talk to us at this site. We are ready to listen and offer support.
