No it's not wrong to want someone to empathize and understand how you are feeling. Everyone needs at least one person who will understand. (((((((((hugs)))))))))

Well, you are carrying a very heavy load .. with the health problems, children, bad economy, and, and and. Overwhelmed ... I imagine.

Nothing I can say is going to fix anything tonight. Your profile indicates how much some people need you.

I don't have a lot to offer .. but I notice you have not posted here before .. as far as I can tell.

I hope you will find some friendship and support here in this group. Believe me, there are many here who 'understand'.

I also hope you will not give up, .. one day at a time, and try your best. That is all anyone can do and life has many surprises in it. If we don't know what to do now, we may know what to do later. That is the good thing about life .. it is a stream of events.

Hope to see you often here in this support group and that it helps you somehow.

Your profile suggests you don't hate your husband or your kids. That's your most important group. Self hatred creeps into our sense of well being when we are sick. You mentioned having a problem[s] that doctors can diagnose, but feel it could be "any number of mood, mental, behavioral, or personality problems/disorder".

In other words, you have psychological problems that have yet to be diagnosed. But one feature of them is that "you are sick of your life and hate everything". Those are such broad sweeping general statements that its no wonder whoever you are seeing can't come up with a diagnosis.

Without knowing more all I can say is you are in the right place, and I hope you find a little piece of mind and happiness with your family.

it's not wrong to want sympathy from people...

I'm sure lots of us who are here do, you're in a rough situation, not rougher than anyone else's, but still rough.

The boat carrying those in rough situations is a very crowded one.

The question is....now that people feel bad for you, what are you going to do?

i dont think its wrong, like boo says you want someone to empathise with your feelings.

it's not wrong at all.. it's incredibly human to want and need compassion, sympathy, and understanding.

I do believe that's why we're all here...to talk and be heard, by sympathetic listeners!

One day at atime is all any of us can do. Take little steps to get organized...make lists of what needs to be done everyday, basic maintanence sort of stuff. Check stuff off as it gets done! Pretty soon, you'll see how much you're actually achieving...feels pretty good!

You can do it. Big hugs!

It may make us feel better at times to realize others have it worse, but whether others have it worse or better than you really doesn't matter. Your issues are important to you and everyone needs to know they have support one way or another.
I don't think it's wrong to look for sympathy from others - we are social creatures, not meant to carry these burdens alone.
Just know that there are people here who understand. Take one day at a time, or even one hour at a time. One definition of hope is realizing that bad times are temporary.
I can totally relate to your school issues, I'm attending online college and it is so stressful as an adult with responsibilities to stick with it.
Hang in there, and I'll keep you in my prayers.

Oh my, you have a lot of things to deal with right now. You will get understanding and compassion here. It's not wrong to want sympathy now and then. We all need a shoulder to cry on when things get rough. You have come to the right place.

I like what WanderingVet said, "the good thing about life...it is a stream of events". Nothing stays the same forever.

I hope you can soon get help from the doctors. You are in my prayers. Sending you hugs. Stay with us here, ok? We care.
