I am not sure by this what the severity of your situation is or the culprit to your frustration and unhappiness is. The instincts you have and the needs that you express should probably be explored. If you are in a volatile situation you should not hesitate to use any available resources at hand. Whether that be contacting a shelter or an association that can help you get the things that you need. Whatever the situation is I'm sure there is a hotline you can call to help locate available resources and organizations in your area that will help you solve your crisis. I do hope you find help and strength. My prayers go out to you.

I`am sorry depressed..
You can vent here if you like...
We all feel the need to be alone from time to time..

I hope you feel better soon.

Gentle Hugs,

Pray !

Take a deep breathe, tell yourself you are only human and can only do so much. Plus with school finals I know the stress level is high, keep telling yourself you are gonna take a much needed break and just do some stuff just for you. Try to shut out the rest of the world for a bit!

Thanks Guys...

Like I said, I am a strong independent person, and I know I can overcome all this crap. But I am at a point where I don't have any control over anything right now...I am so far behind in everything and have no time to catch up.

Katrinka, you are right...currently finals are the most important thing I need to focus on but I can't ...there is no place I can go and forget about everything else and just focus on finals...which I really need to do!!!...

I am my own best friend. I have always been an anti-social loner. I am happiest with my self cause I love myself. Although I love and care for my family (addict spouse and HS Senior Son (who is great by the way) and I am an empath...I empathize deeply with all the things they are going through and putting me through. But the time has come when I HAVE TO BE ALONE to get through one the most difficult seasons of my life...and I can't do it!!!

I really feel like I am going CRAZY!!! my house is a mess, my health is a mess, my marriage is a mess, my school is a mess, my finances are a mess, my whole fucking life is a mess...and I have no way to release all of this frustration, fatique, fear, and failure. What the hell do I do?!

Depressed Recluse


It is literally driving me crazy and doesn't help with the health issues that I am having (I haven't even started to mention those).

Katrinka is right. You can't do it all at once and you'll drive yourself crazy trying to. Prioritize and focus on what's the top priority. Don't worry about the rest or ask for help. If your house is a mess, so what? Let it stay messy until you have the time to clean it, or ask for husband's son to help. In the short run you aren't going to fix your finances, your health, or your marriage. Do what absolutely needs to get done, and let the rest go until you're done with finals. Worrying about them isn't going to help.

I work on a college campus and I see students finding all sorts of creative places to study. Of course, many are in libraries (very peaceful and quiet!) Others are at the student union or laying in the grass reading. My daughter is a college senior. She locks herself in her bedroom and turns off the cell phone.

My personal favorite quiet places are the bookstore, church, museums, a hot bath or just driving in the car. There's also a really nice park near our house.

Oddly enough, when I'm stressed and need quiet, sometimes the best help is something noisy or active! That's when it feels great to just turn up the music and dance (or sing along in the car) or to get some exercise really helps to blow off steam.

Whatever you choose, go easy on yourself. You have too much on your plate and deserve a break.

I rented a hotel room, just to be in a different space...it was lovely.
