AK32 02/27/2013

Today im feeling pretty overwhelmed. Just tired of everything. Tired of the same old bullshit at work day in & day out that i cant do anyhing about. Tired of how exhausted i am all the time w/ working full time and juggling two small children. Tired of not getting the support i feel i really need from my husband. He tries, he really does. Tired of one day feeling like im on top of the world and then the next day my ass gets booted back down into the dark abyss and i have to start all over with the insurmountable task of climbin, clawing my way back to the top. Tired of trying to hold my shit together on the outside, when really i am having a ahrd time on the inside

Not really looking for any advice, just needed to vent

Big huggs for you hon, I don't know how you keep it together being in Alaska, the cold and long nights alone would make me want to wrestle a polar bear.

I understand your need to vent. I had a venting session on the MS board (Isn't it sad when you have so much going on you don't know what board to post it to?)

Prayer to you, my friend. I'm trying to pull myself up and keep moving. I feel we have that in common with the husband area. I'm trying to be the strong person he's use to, but it's overwhelming right now.

Super hugs. We are all feeling it as the world falls apart.

The other day, I got some movies and just sat down and did nothing all day long. Sometimes, we all need a day off.

However, if things get to serious and you keep getting depressed, please make an emergency appt with the doctor or call 9-11.

It is really a bad place to be but don't give up on those children they need you there. I know that is another stress to deal with. You don't have to hold it all in you can let it out onto the outside instead of leaving it on the inside. I am just letting my stuff out in therapy and it has taken a long time. I had a session today and I cried too! I am not done either I could cry now if I let myself. You hang in there and I will too. Sounds like you need a day to yourself and no work, no husband and no kids just you and whatever you want to do!! HUGS to you and your family. Stay strong.

Thanks everybody for your support. I really appreciate all your comments.
Some days, it just gets old to do the work, ya know? I'm sick of fighting for my life.
I'm not worried I'll do something bad, but i am just so tired of it all.
Appreciate your hugs and well wishes.
