Hi Gerty and welcome. I’m sorry you’re struggling. Have you seen your doctor? Are you on medication, having any talking therapy etc? What support do you have? Sorry for all the questions ...
The purpose of life is not to be happy. It is to be useful, to be honorable, to be compassionate, to have it make some difference that you have lived and lived well.
I've seen doctor and was on medication but took me off as was doing more harm than good. Hopefully start therapy soon but not sure it will help as had lots of things happen in the past and now. I do have a wonderful husband who is doing his best but I feel it should be the other way round as he is undergoing tests on his heart so I'm really struggling at the moment
Hi and welcome to DWD. I'm sorry you're having such a hard time at the moment. Have you told your husband that you are struggling?
Do a little of something that makes you happy every day!
Yes he is supportive and understanding
That's brilliant. It's always good when you have someone you can talk things over with. Have you ever talked to him or a medical professional about how you are feeling or your worries?
Do a little of something that makes you happy every day!
Hopefully seeing someone in just over a week
But have you spoken to your husband about your fears?
Do a little of something that makes you happy every day!
Hi Gerty, as Suzi says have you spoken to your husband about how you feel because I think it'll help rather than bottling it up which in itself creates anxiety and stress.
