VENTING-Feel like giving up
Feel like giving up.
I know this is nothing to vent about, but I feel like giving up. My Father-in-law wants to be in control and is not winning in that area. My husband wants to drink a beer and can't stop with just one because that is how he deals with it. Me? I have to deal with things by going in my room and turning on my Christian music. I finally broke down and cried for awhile. I do my online College when I really do not feel like doing it. Everything got blown out of the water this morning, because I had plans on working on my school work to get a little ahead, but I had to go drive my sister-in-law to the pharmacy first thing. I did not want to go anywhere. I watched a little T.V. when I got back because my father-in-law and my husband had to go get lumber for repairs to the side of the house because of the wind and rain doing some damage to the side of the house the other day. So I have to hold the ladder and help with that when the time comes. I'm so upset. I do have an appointment on the 16th to talk with a therapist because I am going through some depression since I have had deaths in my family and now my mother-in-law passing away a couple weeks ago. Today is the first time I have felt like giving up. I am just tired. I need prayers please. Thank you for letting me vent. I really don't care much about my weight loss plan and getting in shape right now. I bought salad greens and tomatoes and all, but I'm eating whatever I want right now. I just do not care. I'm sorry. Thanks again.

89FNo energy, just going to do whatever. Sandra, It's hard to move at a certain time in life. You've been in your home forever, at least you'll be able to travel to the beach and enjoy. Oh, we did hear Boris Johnson's tenure ended due to a series of ethics scandals, accusations of dishonesty and a final collapse of government support that forced his recognation. What he didn't do like the...

88FWhat I do like is early morning clouds and then they disappear and the sun comes out. That was it's cooler in the morning. I'm sitting here looking out the window at the hummingbird with the river and dike as a back drop. It's hard to invision ever leaving but I'm also a realist with aging, especially when the luncheon we had with thirty former classmates on Monday. Sandra, we get news of...
are you upset with them for not understanding or yourself for not setting fair limits? i don't mean that to be harsh b/c i'm still trying to master that one.
i'm glad you're going to see a therapist. being tired gets us all to our limits.
prayers are with you. big hugs n hope
I am not sure who I'm upset with. . . Some how I will get to the bottom of it all when I see a therapist. Thanks again for your prayers.
So hello! : )
Sounds to me like members of your family just expect you to be there, and dont realise you have a life of your own and need to do things for you, which is equally important.
I know youve been caring for your MIL and i read she passed away, its only been a couple of weeks, it all must have left you feeling pretty drained, its no wonder your finding it difficult at the moment.
Glad you have a therapist to let of steam to and get things into perspective. You probably need to work out a way of putting yourself first once in a while. There's a saying i like.. We get treated how we allow ourselves to be treated. I have to remind myself a lot that "I matter too!" "
You matter!" Put your feelings first now and again, you'll feel a lot better for it.
