Today has been hard. Not sure why but I’ve just sat in my bed 90% of today in like a daze but life keeps moving but it’s moving super fast. My husband thinks it’s him in some way, even though it’s not, but he doesn’t believe me. He asks me what’s wrong but I can’t tell him because I feel like I have failed him as a wife on days that are bad, like today. He knows about everything but I still can’t bring myself to tell him what’s going on. On the flip side, I can’t tell what’s actually happening to give him an answer on why I’ve been so off today. I feel hopeless

Bless your heart I hear you completely don’t ever feel alone I have to deal with bipolar and my lows are the worse I shut myself off and want to be alone which isn’t always good. Give yourself lots of love and gentle hug in this crazy world we live right now xxx

Sorry your having a bad day. Don’t be to hard on yourself. Make a schedule maybe walk dog one thing constant each day. You can just say to your husband your having a bad day. These times aren’t easy and make people that suffer normally harder for them. Just try to keep moving and keep positive. Maybe a hobby. Mantras work. Look in the mirror and tell your self positive things everyday. I’m beautiful, smart, worthy of love, creative , strong etc. Baby steps everyday. Once you make little changes those bigger changes can become easier.

I've felt like that lately. So, you are not alone. I have been asking for a lot of cuddle time lately. Hugs make you feel loved and secured. I hope some day, you can open up with your husband, it really makes a difference. Baby steps maybe? Also, try to get a good night of sleep, it will give an extra push the next morning.

Mine ask me about my week.

Ask how I can make situations better. Gives advice. Then to see what Im working toward ask me what I plan for my future. You can do online therapy now. Hope this helps.
