On the mend

I guess you can only stop functioning for a limited amount of time... especially when you have a beautiful little boy who loves you and a partner who stuck by through your darkest moments when he could have just picked up and left it all behind. They keep me sane... they keep me alive. Im ready to move on with my life to show my little man that obstacles can be overcome, and that sometimes no matter what you do you cant help but feel a little bit sad but that with the right support theres nothing to stop him from being truly happy. I love my family.

Dead inside

ok... so i had a miscarriage a week ago. Not quite sure how im "supposed" to be feeling... just know that it comes in waves of guilt, sadness, anger and just plain emptyness. ive never felt so alone as i do now. After i left school and all my friends dropped off i just thought "its okay, i guess i dont need them..." I just wish now that i had tried a bit harder to keep in touch with the people who really knew me... because now i hardly know myself and i know my friends would have reminded me once apon a time. I feel so stuck now.. all the plans i had made were just ripped away from me. and now i feel im left with every opportunity in the world... but how do i act on that when i have no idea where to go from here? i dunno.

it only makes it harder

I DO LOVE HIM. Thats my problem. if i didnt it wouldnt hurt so much every time he walked away, every time im made to feel like im not stepping up to the plate.... that hurts so much more because i love him so much... how can he make me feel like ive done so much wrong? When im trying so hard to do everything right... for him, for us... My family. Love only makes it harder.

......

I dont think im coping very well... i dont think i have been since tyler was born. Its so easy to put up a front and pretend that everything is ok... I pretended it was ok when ppl stared to invite me out less and less... Ive been pretending that doing this on my own is ok....truth is its not ok, im not ok... but ive left things go for too long now and i dont know how to fix it. I dont know how to deal with my problems, i dont know how to raise a child... anyone who depends solely on me is gonna turn out fucked up. I cant help but think that someone else could be doing a much better job than me. I dont even know how to have a normal adult conversation anymore. I get out of bet in the morning and ill be lucky to get dressed... thats how eventful my life is... im too scared to do things on my own and i have no friends left to do things with i never went to mothers group when tyler was born... I dont know where i fit in with the rest of the world. all i know is that im not happy and i dont feel right, i dont know how to make it better... i dont even know where to start.

This isnt what i signed up for...

I always knew i wanted to have kids... always knew i would. What i didnt bank on was who i was having them with, how thigs would never be the same again... EVER. I didnt expect to feel so... lost and not myself and trapped... how can you be happy about where you are in life when you really dont even know who you are or what your future holds. And now i feel as tho ive entered into a relationship under kinda false pretences. Growing up i would imagine the house i would own one day, the family i would have around me, my Wedding... you know... being happy. Now i feel as though im stuck in limbo... I still want all this stuff but its so hard to find a job with a kid hangin off ya and you cant easily get a babysitter when youve pushed your whole family away. No way in hell can i see myself and my so callyed "other half" ever affording a house of our own because HE will only work when it suits him & he doesnt beleive in saving money. As for getting married i got proposed to 2 years ago and that was the last i heard of it, other than to overhear HIM saying he doesnt need a peice of paper and wasnt planning on a wedding. ARGH!! it just makes me feel so... let down with myself because i CHOSE him i actually had a choice and i chose HIM... And now here i am. But i wont leave him because for some reason i care about him and while i dont know if i actually love him right now i do know that he is my sons father and as long as Tyler needs his dad he will have him. Even if i do feel like i have 2 kids instead of just one.

The pain is my addiction.

I cant seem to keep away from this place... which at the moment suits me fine. I need a place to vent again. To keep me sane. My life has got to the point where i literally cant rant out loud. So the trusty old melo with a trusty community of ranters will once again be my moral support, hopefully this will be enough to help me cope with life as it is. Even if life is only as it is cos I personally made the choices that fucked it.

I'm so glad to see that you're feeling better... You never gave me lots of crap to put up with though :-P

Re: Dead inside



I'm sorry for your loss. There are many women who have gone through this, and your doctor should be able to put you in touch with a group so that you can discuss your feelings. If not, you might be able to find one on the net. It helps to be able to talk to others who have gone through the same kinds of things. I'm sure even here on melo you might be able to find women who have. You are grieving, and you need support.
