I would love to stay in touch! Emotional abuse in a marriage is very very isolating! I have never told anyone but myntherapist and it is a big reason I am sitting with depression, anxiety and ptsd. I think it would be very helpful to be a support for each other. Thank you so much for reaching out!

How are you doing ? I took a long walk with a friend today and it felt so good. She also expressed to me how strong she thinks I am (ME?). I really was surprised that that was how she sees me. Then my best friend from the time I was 5-years-old a called and we had a long talk. She actually told me that she loved me, something she rarely says. She is encouraging me to reach out to my family physician to set up some counseling and a medication change perhaps. It is something I dread doing because I feel like it doesn't always help and I am afraid of putting myself out there. It makes me realize that the problems I have are mine, I can't blame anyone else, and only I can fix them. I just don't have the energy to do it. How do you take that step when you need to? I keep postponing it. It is a hard step to take. I appreciate your listening and support.

Laurry, I don't know if I was supposed to log in each time I post, but I am reaching out to you tonight to see how you are and asking if you still want to be a support for each other. I would love to know how you are doing!
