Today its hitting me

My grandmother is dying in hospice and my boyfriend came home from working a 16 hour shift, only to once again not understand how I feel. 


I am always putting on a strong face but no one knows how much anxiety and stress I face every single day. 


I have no energy to even care about myself anymore, no one is interested in talking to me. 


I have no friends, moved to a new town almost a year ago now, and my boyfriend still shuts me out and brings up things from over 2 years ago that were never true leaving me feeling very alone. 


I feel shriveled up inside. Pained all over. I miss having love and friendships.

Try and do something you enjoy today just for you. Go for a walk and reconnect again with nature. Just breathe this will too pass ( Hugs)

Moving to a new town is hard but having a boy friend who doesn't understand your must be harder reading between the lines it sounds that he doesn't want a relationship does he ever tell you how he is feeling and have you asked him how he feels about you, it's bad another with having someone closing dieing this will make your anxiety bad. Take time out and try and relax it hard I know but deep down it's something you need to do for your own sake as it will make you poorly.
Take care message me if you want a chat.

That is probably why your boyfriend doesnt understand how you feel, because your covering your emotions, Always be honest.

I would dump him and move. Thing is, ... you say "but no one knows how much anxiety and stress I face every single day.." If no one knows, ... who could help?

I suggest finding a therapist.

Thank you I have found a therapist.
I just can't stop thinking about how he treated me last night. We didn't sleep in the same room, and I really don't feel like seeing him at all

leave the boyfriend. The problems you are having now will never get better. I was in a similar situation but married the guy. Now i am miserable, have added kids to the mix and am stuck. I
Since you are not married you should get out of the relationship and work on yourself.

    My dementia seems to be getting worse. Using my cellphone has become increasingly difficult for me. For example, I couldn't get signed into my cell phone because of one-time code the bank kept sending me which I couldn't enter in time to sign into my account. Fortunately, a nice teller at my  bank figured it out, registered the phone and stopped that extra one-time code. I am so glad that...
