Glad to be back

Been away from here a while. There has been so much happening and most of it not good. We have just lost my fil and were honoured to be able to be there at his side. My dh is trying desperately to quit smoking, and is having a hard time. My dd is almost too much to handle. My inlaws have pushed us to the brink. There have been horrific disgusting incidents and I can't seem to move past them. I am depressed and full of anxiety. It has been bad, I have not able to do the things that make me feel good. My oven is broken, so I have to fry...again! this is the 3rd oven I have killed, I can't figure out why. My cat found yet another mouse. I did, however, today find the place they were coming in, so that is really good!!! I missed everyone here and am really going to try to become friends again! I hope that is okay with all of you. I am glad to be back.

Cooked, glad to see you back and so sorry for all the troubles you have been going through. There are times when you just can't please other people for all sorts of reasons. I know, DH and I have been going through a lot with one of our DIL's recently. She hasn't had a good family life ever with her family and just doesn't seem to understand how a family will stand by you and help when they can. Then she goes way the other way and almost "expects" the help whenever she calls. (And there are "times" when her situation has been totally out of line because of her misactions). So just know you aren't alone. Just try to take a few minutes during the day for yourself. I know it is hard when your heart is pounding especially when the phone rings! Drop in here anytime and unload if that makes you feel better; feel free to PM me also if you feel the need. Sometimes just "talking" with someone else helps too. Take care and stay in touch!

Thanks for the kind words Cat lover. I appreciate them. I just can't seem to move out of the depression funk. Thanks for sharing your story, I know how hard it can be. I have so much I want to say, but can't seem to put them into words right now. Thanks for being there.

Cooked I understand how you feel as I am dealing wtih depression and anxiety. Come here and vent away anytime you want. And like Cat Lover says it sometimes feels better to talk. Hugs to you.

Cooked, a lot has happened here, well not here but within my family... I have finally come to grips with letting a lot of it go (which is a good thing), I have too much to offer others that appreciate it, not the ones that will run on top of me... I am also a listener so anytime you need me, I am also here with the others...
