Feeling Hopeless

[Silent_breeze]

I’m 61. Was married twice. My first husband, at first, was very charismatic, friendly and treated me very well. As soon as we got married things started changing. He became abusive, sadistic and I grew very scared of him. I finally got away. I married my second husband six years later. I divorced him after 16 years. I could not handle his anger anymore. I had started cutting and completely shut down. I will always love my second husband, but I cannot live with him.

Now I am in a different state. Iv’e been here about five years by myself . I feel very alone. Even in crowds. My kids are in different states and I miss them so much! I started cutting again and my mood has been low. I am going back to therapy and hope my doc does’t increase my meds. I feel like I take too much as it is.

Thanks for listening.
