I can relate to the emptiness you feel. I hope you can get some ideas from others who feel similar. Bills and lack of money is a big stress of mine also. I fight with my husband about stupid stuff all the time but I kind of like it because everything is out in the open. We are honest with one another. I can't talk about my depressed feelings with him though because he just doesn't get, That is why I come to this site. I joined a last week but only have two days a week where I have really logged on. But I have found support and it feels good to vent here, without judgement....try it some more when you're ready.
