Hi Everyone 


today has not been the greatest, just been feeling under the weather, little to everything is upsetting me... since I was old enough to work I’ve always taking care of others, my job before moving to Florida I worked with children with mental health and mental disability for 16 years, on top of that had to take care of the house hold, had a man that didn’t work and always cheated, moved to Florida to get away from him, and meet someone who was very abusive, when he left, my mother started showing signs of  dementia, and now I am trying my best to be here for her, I just wish at times I can have a normal life is that asking for to much ??????

I been doing caregiving type work my whole life it feels so sometimes I feel so drained from home to work. It sounds like you have had a rough go sending hugs. Take things one day at a time.

We DS friends are here in full force to help with personal support. Caring for others seems to come naturally to you and I would imagine many feel indebted to you and have trouble putting that thanks into words that truly carry the message. Simple hugs ((((()))))

Oh, bless you Sweetie. You've had\still having it rough. I feel like you many times too, have had many of the same issues. My dad didn't have Alzheimer's, but he was very sick for a lot of years (I cared for him). I try to keep my mind occupied to keep it off my problems. God bless, Prayers.

I have many bad experiences meeting women too. I feel like they just ignore me or just want my money. Bad things happened to good people. That is life. I was planning to be a councelor when I was in college. Now I lost interest in people. Because the negative people i meet. If you want to be friend, we can support each other.

Hi there,
It's not asking too much in the sense that you're being selfish or anything. It's just asking for something that doesn't exist unfortunately. There is no normal life out there, we all have something that plagues us. But it reminds us of our need for God and that we need saving. But I empathize with you, this weekend I've been incredibly down and negative and oddly I have no reason to be currently. I think sometimes, we're so used to having negative things happen (depending on the amount of battles we've been dealt), that we become conditioned to feel ill effects even when it isn't warranted. I'm just chronically unhappy and moody. I know that God molds us through our trials, though. And it sounds like you've had your fair share, so he's doing some pretty remarkable work on you---we just never see it until it's in our rear-view.
Hold on, you're fighting and allow yourself to feel how you feel. It's hard.
