Going on Strike

I decided I am going on strike from my husband. I will not see him, or go to the flea market with him, or work at his house anymore. I hate going over there, I feel like I don’t accomplish much since I’m doing is rearranging stuff. I don’t think the house will ever get [...]

Depressed

I feel depressed living at my parents’ house. This is normal for me to feel this way because my mother drives me nuts.
Now there is this feud between my husband and my father. My mother keeps inviting my husband over and he won’t come over because Dad does not want him here. Mom won’t stop [...]

I had a job interview today and the hours sucked.
I’m pretty mad. I can’t get a decent job in the field that I want and time is running out.
I can’t live with my parents for so long before my mother drives me nuts. Today she was nagging me about cooking and I don’t want to [...]

Depression/Mood Swings

I have not been doing well. Since we have moved into the house, there have been problems. I am having trouble adjusting to the mess and poor living conditions.
The main problem is that there is junk everywhere and he thinks he can sell it all. That could take years and he still wouldn’t sell it [...]

Moved

Well we FINALLY finished moving. I am really not too thrilled about living in a house full of junk that is gutted and has no running water.
I went to DBT this morning, and asked for suggestions on how I can deal with this. The therapist was very concerned about the situation and thinks it’s bad [...]

Moving

I am doing better now than I was the other night, I made up with my husband. I am very busy now with moving and not having internet access – having to go to parents and use their slow dialup to get online, so I can’t do much more updates for the next week or [...]
