So my mom came in for a visit from Florida. She returned today. I am so upset over stuff it's been rough. I have been crying all day. I asked my husband what he is upset about and he changes it around so that it's my fault he's upset. Great! I am not suicidal, but yet I could go to bed now and never wake up.

Does that make sense to people?

I just feel so alone. I don't post much with my problems but I need some support right now.

I am so sorry you are upset and down right now. Are you upset that your mother left? The fact that your husband responded that way didn't help at all. It's not your fault. I understand the feeling of not wanting to wake up when it gets tough. You know you can always PM me. (((HUGS)))

Your mom leaving and your husband putting blame on you has you down and I'm sorry about that. You don't post much about yourself, you are right. It seems like your husband would be a little more supportive of you right now. We're here to talk to you though. Lay all you want out for us and we'll help you through it. It's overwhelming when things are going crappy for you in your life. I hope your husband comes around and apologizes to you. That's not fair. You are a great person and you don't need this right now. I hope that you feel better soon and keep talking to us. Anything at all.

Don't want to cast dispersions on your mum. But possibly both you and husband found her trip a bit "tireing" meaning "behaving" your selves all the time? ie putting on the good face? Tis a strain when having a house guest. But nice of your mum to come and see you.

All the best,

Jenny

P.S. How about you and he go out for a very romatic dinner. That might help to put things back together again

Seroquel XR, 300mgs
Then 50mgs later on in the evening
to encourage sleep.
250mgs of Lamictal in the morning. Mood Stabilizer
Lithium 250mg at night and 250mgs in the AM.

I know where you're coming from. I have been through days on end of crying and feeling bad about myself/my life. Even though I don't leave suicide notes around I sometimes think about suicide in a very casual way.

Just hang in there. It's rough, and text on the internet can't console you like a live body but at least the people here get it and understand. I cried in the shower today for no reason, feel so lame about it, but those bad feelings WILL pass.

Just tell yourself it's temporary and be willful about getting through it!

I miss me. I miss everything I'll never be.
