I'm in a really dark place today . A friend of mine asked me how I felt the other day my reply was I feel like I'm in a strange dark room and I can't find the light switch or the door to get out . My husband said last night I hope you have a good day tomorrow my reply was I won't ever day is the same , he said nothing because there was nothing he could say so like usual no sex tonight for him. I wait for him to come home that's all I do and he always comes home after work I don't know why he stays with me I am a shocking wife. He tells me to put the TV on or the radio but if I do I still don't here it . I'm just so numb . I made a cake for him the other day and burnt my arm didn't feel it . I really had to push myself to make the cake took me so long as I kept forgetting what the recipe was and to keep checking it was such a easy thing to do but to me it was a nightmare. I just can't wait till 3pm every day so I can have a bottle of wine at least the wine helps. And I know to moor will be the same .

Hi AGrace thanks for the information about smoking glad it worked for you . I will give it a try.Hope you are having a good day. I'm still really down but I am so busy at the moment with a friends wedding . I know after that I will go down again. It has taking all my strength this week I'm so tried but she's a friend and doesn't no about my depression and I don't want her to.

Hi I no what I am saying is not about what you were talking about but I don't know how to start a new thread. I have really had it with life , I am so depressed and drink inking a lot. I have got to the stage that in the morning I want a drink ,I don't have one ,but by 3 or 3.30 i do . I wait for my husband to come home so he will have a drink with me. He will have a beer or two some nights but not always he is not a big drinker or should I say doesn't drink for the sake of it. I drink outside the house on the deck because I don't smoke in the house. I so wish he would sit and drink with me ,but he's normal and doesn't need to. I will sit for hours drinking and smoking outside no matter how cold he sits and watches TV . I hate TV I look and wish he would come out and drink. I no this is so I don't feel so bad about drinking I . I don't know why I should bother being here for 1more day but I solider on I have to see past this but I don't know how . When I'm drunk I can sit outside smoke and not think that's so wonderful but not right. Intellectually I no this is wrong but that's so different than what I am able to do. At the moment I don't know what to do. I think I would like to go to a private clinic  but don't know how. Have a wedding tomorrow will go through all the paces but won't feel anything that's real I will just get through it. It's 8.45 my husband is napping like usual he works hard we are in are late 50 so it's understandable plus it's a way I can have another dring without him knowing. I no I'm out of control please let me know what to do? I know depression and booze doesn't work but if feels better I don't get hangovers
