Not Diagnosed; But I Feel Unhappy

I've been feeling lonely and down lately, and I tell myself every day that I have a roof on top of my head, a great family, and I am healthy; that I should be grateful instead of feeling the way I feel. Although, I can't lie that I don't feel my best. I feel sad, and I feel that my husband tries to help, but he doesn't fully understand. It gets tiring to communicate with him over little things that I've previously explained. I need a support system and someone who will listen to me without taking everything as a problem. I need someone who understands. I go to therapy once a week, but it doesn't seem enough. I've also been in an abusive relationship - that has surprisingly turned healthy over the last couple of years. But the challenges are still there. I apologize if I'm jumping over the topics; I feel that I have so much to say that I can't focus on one thing. I really just want to get better and find a support system that understands what I'm going through.

F&F - Welcome.

Second - This is a good and supportive community.

There was a lot of things that I need help with myself, but (I have trust issues) and I will slowly get there for asking for the help that I need.

But what I have asked for, this community has helped, and I am doing my best to help others here too.

I know that what I just wrote, doesn't really solve your problems, but I'm just trying to tell you that this community has a lot of good people that are supportive to others.

Hey, Thank you so much for such a sweet response. I'm delighted to read this. I think it's a great start that we both acknowledge that we have problems. I've got trust issues, too; especially these days, it's harder to find quality relationships or friendships. I'm also looking forward to helping people out - I think I find happiness from that.

I'm very excited to explore this website and community.

Once again, thank you so much!

Hi Don,

Thank you so much for your response. I like this community so far! Everyone is so friendly and upbeat. I currently live in Idaho. Don't you think it's incredible how we can talk to each other from miles and miles away; this is such a great way to find a support system.

I am having a better day right now! I hope you have a splendid day!
