I keep meaning to post, just because I know there is at least one person who looks.  Anyway, it's probably good for me; somehow ( Read more... )

There is only one person who can change those things, that's you. It's tough, sometimes. I've found if I'm looking for someone else to make me happy, it'll never last. If I manage to take what's going on and be happy about it, that can last a lot longer.

I won't say "it's ok, really" how about this though; you sound depressed, have you spoken with a councilor/doctor about it? I've seriously seen those I love helped out of depression by counciling and medication, there's no shame to it.

It's good you don't want to ignore it, see that light in yourself that wants things better and reach for it.

When you can head the shrink off at the pass, it's hard to just sit there and believe in that person's ability to help. I won't take medication except as a last resort, and possibly not even then.

I don't expect my husband to fix my world. I do, however, expect him to function in such a way as not to disrupt it enough to cause more issues than I already have. I don't like the idea of leaving my husband at all, but I need to find my happiness before I can help others find their's.

That is a grand truth that escapes so many of us so much of the time.

To quote Dr. Horrible, "Everything Happens".

The hard part about life is that it keeps moving. Think about those times when it did fit, what made them fit. try to expand on that. and yeah, we all make those wrong turns at Albuquerque every once in a while. Just look to your friends to give you an anchor that you can always get back to.

i've been trying to figure out what made life seem so simple before, to understand those things that made it all work out. it's just that i don't have many consistent achors and it's sometimes too much to try to search for them. in some ways, it's taught me to be more self-sufficient and that's been good for me. unfortunately, it may also have moved me to a place i don't want to be; apathy toward one's fellows is not always good.
