Tearsfall,

welcome to the forum. I am so glad you posted here as this is a friendly,caring and supportive place.

Many of us here can relate feeling lost because we are always helping others.

Maybe it is time to start to help ourselves and that can be hard.

If you feel ok, you can tell us a bit more about yourself.

There are some interesting thread you can read when you feel like it.

Thanks again for sharing your story.

Hi Quirky,

really not much to tell . Im feeling too old to care, too hurt to bother.

Iv given up everything to be with my partner, my kids are all adults now. Making their way in the world. They know ill always be here for them. I work and love my job but being on contract there isnt really any job security. I have an invisible illness and have some really bad days but i keep going. I dont have a choice . Dont get me wrong i do ok , yes im a surviver but i feel iv made some wrong decisions . And i cry lots

Sorry you're feeling this way darl awful isnt it

You do sound like you're really hurting hun if you want to talk & open up more you'll find no judgement &good support here

Im guessing you feeling you've made wrong choices is whats pulling you down

Glad your partner loves you dearly ☺

I guess its a build up of alot of things, iv been unwell for a couple of weeks with head ache . Been to DRs but both said different things. Chemist said she would be more concerned about the pain behind my eyes and to speak to DR bout it. My partner can be selfish and sometimes i feel im here for when he needs me 😔

loving him is what i do best . Im a true carer . My husband died alot of years ago iv been a single mum til 3 years ago.

My partners daughter treats him like crap but everyone blames him for everything but iv seen more than them.

He says hurtful things when he drinks too much . I just dont know what to do. I want to runaway but i cant afford to . Im struggling not to cry .

He is in pain too and last couple days we have hardly spoken . Im also dealing with heath issues that have come back for 3rd time n feel like no one really gives . You know i listen to everyones problems and even when im struggling im still here for who needs an ear

Aghh that doesn't sound ideal how awful everyone blaming him when there's more to it that'd be hard for you to see

Are you able to talk with him about how you feel, some people you can some not aye not nice for you copping it when he drinks

You're not well doesnt sound good sorry to hear, health its so important isnt it.

I may not be here all the time got some health stuff coming up but do eventually return ☺

You know old saying " in one ear and out the other" thats what its like . Im tired of trying but im the one who stuck by him through thick and thin. Im feeling scared lost and alone

Shame darl

Never alone here

At work fighting back tears is the worst feeling , worried someone will see me. I dont want to lose my job
