we have been together for 10 years and Im right now living in texas. I have a option to go back to my own country but I am scared of the fact that I wont be able to live there now that i have spent 5 years here. However, I am working on my legal documents to stay here permanently but it will take 2/3 more year and its not a 100 percent guarantee. I am stuck between two choices and fearful of the fact that if i stay here will i be able to do it alone. Help me friends.

I’m new here, too, only having just joined. Hopefully, we’ll both find the support we’re needing. Here’s a bit of cyber-encouragement, It takes a bit of courage just to reach out, doesn't it?

But that first step is forward motion.

I hope I can get support here too

[KTMGooner in reply to Nomadbeau]

We sure will.

I normally dont reach out for help but this is the first time im in such pain. Never felt like this before. I have friend that i share things to but It didn’t help me that much.

I think we all find it hard to ask for ‘help’ at times. Add to that, the stigma of not being able to just ‘suck it up’ that’s so prevalent in today’s society.

A neuro-chemical imbalance is just as much of an issue as any other medical problem.

Good luck to all of us and here’s hopin’ for a hasty resolution.

Going through a divorce is very difficult

Congratulations on having the courage to reach out! Your anixiety and depression are understandable because you are going through a divorce and trying to become a citizen. Both are major events! Both can be scary and painful.

In my heart, marriages are worth fighting for. Yet, both of you would have to be willing to try. Talking is a good place to start. Have you tried counseling? What might help to save your marriage? What prompted your divorce?

Blessings and prayers to you today! Please keep posting!
