Struggling to keep afloat

Hiya JadedJewel,
 
I am not sure what to say about the mom thing as I have no children. All I can say is that all the moms I know think they are not good enough and all of the moms I know are great. So I think you should cut yourself some slack. You love him and I am sure he knows it and that is what counts. As for the seperation anxiety, it can be fixed. I am sure you could do a little research and find some great tips for that!
 
As for your hubby losing his job and you being angry at him...been there, done that. I wish I had great advice for you but if you have read the forums you know my marriage is not doing so well. As such I am in no position to help anyone on that.
 
One thing I do want to say is: Take care of yourself. The best thing you can do is take good care of yourself. If you don't you won't be in any shape to help anyone or fix anything. so be good to yourself in this difficult period!
 
Hang in there! It can get better.
 
As for your hubby, he might be depressed and then therapy might benefit him.
 
Anyway, sorry I cannot be more helpful. Please keep us posted on how you are.

Smoking

Hay Pete,
 
Well I have quit smoking. I quit smoking over two years ago. It was HARD! I quit smoking when I was ready. I knew it was time! And I think this is key. I knew I wanted to quit. Sure part of me still wanted to smoke lol. And in those first few days I would have rammmed my head in the walls for a drag! But deep down I wanted to quit and I KNEW I was ready. I think this is so importnat. And I quit at a moment in my life where I was doing well. I did not quit qhile I was down and out. I worked hard to get well then I quit. And now I am depressed again but am making sure to stay away from the stuff lol. Quitting was too hard to start again! But if I can do this anyone can! Anyone! I don't have particular strengths or anything. I just think if you try to quit before you are ready you are setting yourself up for a hard time. I do think you should quit, really. but timing is everything. But I know, when the time is right, you can and will do this!!!

Feeling low

Hey Julie,
 

I think Rosie gave you great advice. Therapy and medication can really really help. Also, please feel free to write to us as often as you need or want to. We are here for you to listen and understand. I really get that feeling of just needed someone to care and understand. I also get wanting a hug. I can't give you a face to face hug but here is a great big virtual hug form me to you! !

I am sorry to hear you have to deal with all that. I wish I had good advice for you but all I can do is repeat the nurse idea. I do want to let you know you are in my thoughts. Hang in there!
