I am feeling very unsettled and I’m drinking my anxiety away right now. My mr has hurt me emotionally to the point that I don’t know how to cope.
I don’t want to feel like this anymore 💐

@Nay69 Are you thinking of seperating? it is hard particularly if you have children (I don't know if you do have or not). I am divorced and seperation was hell becauase of my mi. Sweetie just don't drink it won't help you in the long term as you have to keep a clear head.

Here with you @Nay69 .... ❤️
Its natural to want to numb those painful feelings, but getting to the cause of them is the most important thing. You need support in your situation, and the starting point is usually speaking with your gp. They are in a position to refer you on to counsellors who can help you with your choices. It’s not selfish to prioritise yourself, it’s necessary, and to be able to help your family, you have to have your needs met.
If you contact Sane chatline by calling the number at the top of the page, or email team@saneforums.org the moderators here can help you find services in your state too.
Keep reaching out here as well @Nay69. Whatever you choose to do you will need support and your fou
rum friends are here for you.

@Nay69 Well actually your problems are important to us all on the forums. We are like a family here and hate to see one of us in pain. Do you have friends or family that you can talk to?

@Nay69 That is really tough. My son2 has just gotten up so I have to go but will be thinking of you today. Be strong as telling someone they are fat (particularly a woman) is really low and desperate and you deserve better than that and you know it. Will be on later to check in on you. Love greenpea xx
