hope it gets better...

As I am sitting here I don't have a plan what I want to say. I noticed today that my family ties are really severed. I guess if I want to I can piece them back together. I am only responsible for what I can do these days. I have a cousin who I would like to reconnect w/ some day. I have family who seems distant at some times. I am just grateful that I still have family at all. Morbid huh? I am down a bit as I have been somewhat depressed. I am not sure.

I just found out yesterday that some day I may not "need" counseling. After 26 years, I still feel that I need it. No wonder I am somewhat depressed. One day at a time. Maybe it is just because of cutbacks. I was told though that I need to be more independent. I am independent enough as far as I am concerned. Now I am angry! I am still stable enough that I can sleep & take care of me. I guess that is enough for them!

I can't fight the system though. I am just glad that they pay any attention to me. I won't let this ruin my day as it seemed to ruin my yesterday! There is still hope for me as I can bounce back & make the most of today. Frustrations will make me keep in touch w/ anyone who will listen--preferably a member of Alanon or a trusted friend.

There is hope. I figure tomorrow I will feel better as I manage to let go of the past & trudge on to something better.

Not much more to say. I am getting anxious & need to move on.

Kathleen

Hi sweetie, ya know what helped me and was so cool was support groups. There are soo many kinds. Al
Anon of course too. but ones that you have the same interests, or womens groups.

yahoo groups can be very good for us to get involved in and ya start to feel like a family. of course i was on pot bellied pig groups and we shared everything not just our animals. births deaths, feeling insane, sad happy whatever.

There are book groups too that could be fun. I have faith in you, you will find what you need. you are just like that.

morbid? all of my family and most all my friends have passed. sigh.

Some people have that experience.

hugs! debilyn
