I have been under a lot of stress and I can't take it anymore. I exploded today. I flipped on my husband and told my kids to stay away from me. I never have a break. I am with the kids 24/7. I feel ike I don't have anyone to turn to. Everyone wants to tell me what's wrong and how to fix it and how it's my fault. Sometimes I just need someone to be there for me and comfort me. Is it so hard to beleive that my life is hard for me? I'm 25, my husbands disabled and I have 3 young kids. And if that isn't enough I have a lot of emotional/mental/mood (whatever you wanna call it) problems. I guess I am just selfish for wanting to be pitied sometimes. I know I got myself into this mess and I gotta live with it.

You turned to the right place. We are a bunch of nutties, but we are all in varying stages of nuttiness. It starts to get better when we involve ourselves here. Not everyone you meet will be civil or friendly. You are not required to take any abuse from anybody here. Also, you will probably get a lot of unasked for advice. Not from me. I suggest, never advise. Well, sometimes, if asked. But welcome to the nuttery. Wade on in, the water ain't deep. And don't mind the really obviously ill ones. You will know them soon enough.
May you find what you were seeking when you came to this site. I am glad you are here.

Nope not selfish. Just honest. Everyone feels this way many many times. Welcome here, you can come here for pity. If you want a pitty party, tell us we will through you one. Pitty partys have to have a start and and end date before they begin or you can get stuck there. Is there anything good about your life? After the pity party we have maybe we can discuss it even if it is that you look marvelous.
