A couple of days ago I was feeling low and depressed and majorly unfocused. I got to spend some ample time on the chat line and go to some meetings so now I am feeling better. This program works if you work it! Tonight I have a f2f al-anon meeting I plan to go to, so that should help too. Thanks so much for being here and letting me vent. Today I actually got my laundry done and the dishes and some other household chores that were holding me hostage the other day! I just couldn't do them, I guess I was having a panic attack over my AH's constant watching of me and not wanting me on line. Last night he saw a program on the news about depression and how chat rooms were not good for depression, that family and friends and staying focused on the tasks at hand were the answer. It sounded like a program he made up, but I guess it is true one could spend too much time on-line and not have outside contact, but that's what f2f groups are for and that is definitely family and friends to me. Thanks everyone for being here for me.
Well glad that things are coming around for you, I have been struggling myself today in just one of those panic modes myself, I know that you are to go one day at a time, but some times I feel like they keep over lapping one another, I am sure I will come thru it, but for now, it is a lonely place to be!
As for the chat rooms, well ask yourself this: What have they done for YOU? doesn't matter what they do for others, it is how they make you feel... I know that sometimes my husband gives me the: "You going to be on the computer all night" that is his rude way of saying, "How come your not out here with me"... I know that now, and just brush it off because that is HIS "Issue" not mine... Sometimes the Husbands can be quite difficult just as we can be on our off days, but it is how we learn and move past I know but some days he does get under my skin, and cause me to have those days as well... I am glad that things are getting brighter for you...
Could ya rub off on me today, I could use the lift :+)
