Cannot stand the Yo-yo

I am so very tired of the constant yo-yo. There is so very much to do.  I can start the day ok, but when I stop to take a break because I am stressed or upset, I try to reach out and call a friend.  Several times I come on DS and noone is around, I  tried to call several others,  but all are busy. I am reminded the world still goes on and all do have a life  (except for me- right now anyway)


Too much time leaves me to deal with the emptiness and the anger. (Both of which I would rather not have to deal with but inevitably do)


Can't bear this already and he just passed Jan 30th.

when my first wife pasted away I felt the same way its not easy dealing with it and its even harder finding someone to talk to ,even if no one is on here come on and vent it helps those of us who are here will check to see if your okay .The worse thing I had to deal with was what I called the emptimess when you wake up the house is empty and when you come home its empty again I too tried to call friends you know those who said at the funeral if you need anything call me ,but when you do they dont answer the phone .. Trust me its all part of your loss and healing we all will go through it or have already done so I wish you the best good luck
