I just realized that I am on the downward spiral again. I do not know what has set it off this time, but I just can't seem to keep my mouth shut and keep sticking my foot in my mouth. I feel like I am the biggest social dork around and all that I was is extremely stupid. I feel very awquard around people. I feel like I am stuck in my marriage that is not healthy and my children are learning how to have a really bad marriage and there is not a thing that I can do about it. I don't want to hit bottom again!!! I am tired of the roller coaster ride and I just want off of it.

Sorry to hear you are on a downward spiral. Do you have a therapist to talk to? Does your husband know what you are going through.

I have problems with downward spirals also. I haven't found anything I can do for myself to stop them. But, it does help to talk about it.

God bless and good luck,
Wendy

If you have just realized then you can stop and spin the other way ?

I completely understand. You feel hopeless, a social reject, I understand. I once was in your exact shoes. The only difference between me and you is that I am now divorced. I can understand feeling as if you are stuck in your marriage. It is a horrible feeling, something that you cant describe. The only thing that got me through for over 10 years was my relationship with god. When I look back the whole marriage is a blur, from the loveless relationship to the feeling of inaduaqacy. It is hard, I know. So I hope you can find solace within the pages of the bible. AT 1 Corinthians 10:13 it mentions how god will not let you be tempted beyond what you can bear and he will make a way out for you in order for you to endure this tribulation.

So this is not saying he will make a way out for your marriage, however he will help you to endure it, to cope with it.

But God will help you realize that you can throw your burdens upon him. Because he who god loves he will sustain and never allow us to totter. So know that your beautifil in gods eyes and precious to him. Take care.
