I thought that I was doing ok and managing my depression until today. I am in a bad marriage and feeling very unloved at the moment. I feel this desperate need to feel loved. I just feel like I am spiralling out of control right now. I want to curl up and cry until I can't cry anymore. I can't sleep tonight. I don't want to do this life anymore.

Sending hugs. I was in a bad marriage too, now separated. You have to do what is best for you. I was married to a man who could not understand depression.Hang in there. I am here and I know how you feel.

I know that feeling of needing affection well. I want you to consider that it's not you - it's most likely your husband who is emotionally unavailable to you and probably everyone else.

Give yourself a pat on the back for breaking your isolation and rooting out your feelings. Hugs and peace.

Hang on....sometimes that's all you can do. You have people that love you. Grab one. You will get to the other side. Just hang on.

The real problem is that I have a friend who is a man and I have just figured out (since he said it) that he is in love with me. I know that I could be loved, but it is not possible right now. It is hard to stay in a marriage where you do not get the love that you need and yet you have someone who adores you and would do anything for you as a friend. Life is not fair. I just want to be held and made to feel safe.
