Are you able to speak to a counsellor? I have been seeing one, and it has really helped me to sort through what I am going through. He has helped me to identify why I react the way that I do to the things that happen around me, and how to work through difficult times. It is important to get a counsellor who you feel comfortable with, because not all are as helpful as others can be.
It can be difficult for family & friends to support someone when they don't know how to help them. Often people tend to give up, instead of finding a way. It is not because they don't care, it is just because they don't know how. I felt like I tried everything with my husband, and nothing worked. I was just so tired, but I always cared.
Things will get better. We are here for you day or night. We will listen to you and help support you in any way we can. Post all your thoughts and feelings out, and you will see the support you receive back.
I wish you all the best as you go through this difficult time.
I just made myself start going to a different one, because all I wanted to do was kill myself. Only went twice, don't know if is helping any yet or not. Every time I come home I try talking to my husband, suggest a thing or two. Doesn't get anywhere.
Things will work out in time. I know it is tough right now, but you will see results if you keep at it. The most important thing is that you have a counsellor who you connect with and don't give up. They will help you to understand yourself better and then better deal with those you care about.
Good luck. I wish you all the best as you work through this.
A treating neurologist may recommend counseling in order to strengthen that family bond.
