Something’s not right

Heartbroken

Heartbroken

So i just need to let this out. I have alluded to bits n pieces of this on other threads, but here goes...

I just feel so heartbroken. I am a shell of who i once was, my life, my marriage are but a shell of what they once were. I am grieving so much for what i once had but is now gone. I used to be outgoing, fun loving, laughed so easily - not anymore. My husband and i were always having fun. It didnt matter what we were doing or how mundane it was we wld always be having fun and a laugh - not anymore. We just loved each others company - not anymore. I am absolutely devasted at what my life, and our life has become. I just dont know how to get past this. My husband even said last night that there is no fun, no joy, no happiness in our marriage or life anymore. And hes right. But it pierced my heart. I just want my quality of life back and there's not a darn thing i can do about it. I miss me, i miss us, i miss my life, i even miss my job. My life seems so empty and meaningless now, just trying to survive from one day to the next, feeling like total crap, not having the compassion and support of my husband who loves me dearly but just doesnt know how to deal with this and frankly, doesnt want to know. I feel like my heart has been broken in a thousand pieces and my guts ripped out at the same time. I just want a normal life and fear that that will never be. I just want to be me again, and my husband and i to be us again, and it is absolutely gut wrenching to think that may never hapn. How do i get past this. My heart is so heavy with grief and pain, despair and sorrow, and loneliness - oh the loneliness.

Thanks for ur encouragement @Ali11 about even small improvements. I wld take even small improvements at the moment! They hav to come one day surely!

I will be seeing my psych tmrw and will b laying it on the line as to where things r at, that things arent going well, and what the plan is from here, and yes, why they think that whatever thyr plan is is going to work when others havnt.

Thanks for ur encouragement to forgive myself, i think i need to forgive myself for a lot of things. I blame myself for everything that has changed for the worse in my life since Mi. I shoulder all the blame when rly i shldnt, its not like i hav MI and have it affect our lives so much on purpose! I wld do nething to change it!

I hope you are doing well @Ali11 and have had a nice weekend. Best wishes to u xx

Re: Heartbroken

one step at a time my friend @Doglover

here for you

Hello @Ali11 , @Eden1919 , @Gazza75 , @Orwellian

Re: Heartbroken

Thanks @Shaz51 - one step at a time - good advise, thank u my friend.

Yes i need to make notes for next week. I do make a note each day of what meds i take and when, and what my symptoms r, so that helps.

Iv kind of had a family intervention over the last 24 hours. My brother and sister in law spoke with me ystrday, my mum spoke with me today (after consulting with my uncle last night who was very much involved when my mum was in a bad way with MI). They hav all said that i need to get therapy and i need to not make excuses (like cant afford it - which i cant) and just make it hapn. My mum n my brother r going to pay the gap for the first 10 weeks under the MHCP which buys me a bit of time to work out how im going to pay for it after those 10 weeks. When my mum was in a bad way with MI, my brother and i had a number of interventions with her, i never thought i wld b on the receiving end of one, but thr u go, life is unpredictable.

How are you doing @Shaz51 , what hav u bn up to today?

Re: Heartbroken

What do u do for work @Shaz51 , if thats not too identifying. Do u work much? Its gd that u r able to work with ur MI. Iv bn off work since diagnosis in Nov last year. Its very frustrating! I just want to b well enuf to go back to work!

Sorry to hear about ur mum. Its hard when our loved ones get old and frail. I cant imagine being without my mum, especially with everything im going thru at the moment.

Nice that u n hubby had the afternoon off together.

Homemade pizza sounds yummy. Im going to do a roast chicken n salad, nice n easy. Hopefully having the oven on will warm the house up a bit. Its freezing here!!! I just rememberd, its Mr Shaz that has MI isnt it, not urself? My memory is pretty bad at the mo. Sorry!!

@Doglover

Yes mr shaz has a list of MI dignosis which he has had all his life and his 3 sisters and his mum and his children has it too xx

me , I was emotionally and mentally abused when I was growing up by my father until mum and I left as i was sooo skiny and soo sick

roast chicken n salad sounds great @Doglover

we are self employed doing cleaning and mowing jobs

Re: Heartbroken

That's good to hear your family have stepped up to help support @Doglover, hopefully the help that first ten weeks gives will also bring an opportunity for you to work out finances for an ongoing support plan. I second what @Shaz51 said as well, maybe write a bullet point list of the questions or concerns you have, be quite specific and honest, so when you have your next appointment you can talk about what's not working, where you're at and where you'd both like to be in the coming months. Hope you're enjoying your evening
