Help help: I feel like i want to run away - Help.com

why? can you tell us your story?

of what live? family, friends, spouse?
We all are tired my friend. Sometimes we need Somebody there so we can catch our breath. Just for a few so we can go fight another day.

Are you perhaps willing to tell me what happend my friend?

I’m here dear reading atm

how long has your husband been sick? because 171/2 years isn’t possible. I think…
I understand your tired. But that what the vow you made for better for worse. What does he has? But in these times why not call friends or family. you need help my friend. You don’t need to do it alone

Hi, I have you seen a doctor yourself? I know between your husband and your son, you had been spending a lot of time running to doctors and hospitals but now it is your turn. I think you are physically and emotionally drained and you need to get some help for yourself.

Also I suggest telling your kids you need help. Your kids are old enough to pitch in and help out too.

I understand where you coming from. and you need a breather and deserver one. Isn’t anyone there you can rely on family?

How old are both of you?

You are a family and need to support each other. You are the one who is always carrying the heaviest part of the load, now you just need a break for a while. I understand that you want them to focus on school and not the family issues, but you need some help. Taking time off work, staying in bed, feeling unhappy, feeling like you want to leave, those are all sings of depression. You don’t want to continue to feel like this, right? So you need to take some steps to change it. You know if it was one of your children who felt like this, you would be all over getting them help.

agreed with babacup

You need to stop that. You cannot help them all the time. you need help yourself. by doing this you are where you are now….

You need a bit some me time

Do you have health insurance? Or do you have any literature from work that might have mental health phone numbers for you to call?

If so, I would call the health insurance or the work mental health # and tell them I need immediate help I can not wait until the 18th.

When I first got help for my depression that is what I did. I call the # from my husbands work. She ask me some questions then help me find a mental health doctor that I could meet with in a few days. I started going to a therapist 3 times a week and just talking. It helped a little, then I got on medication, which also helped a little, then over time with working on getting myself better, I got control of how I was feeling.

your me time is perhaps sleep. but over doing stuff other then hisband and children. you do not have to do.

thing is with docs. sometimes acteully evertime. you have to act melodramatic. seriously if you don’t you won’t get helped faster.

The pne shouts the most get helped first. sadly thisis the truth how things works…
So go in there and force her to fic you up asap!

we have a program through my work and that is who i called, i went to her office and told her everything. when we were done she said come back the 18th. Now if she was good at what she does then why would she just have me wait til the 18th. she knows how bad i was feeling and i even told her i feel like running away.

Call her and ask her what you can do to get some help. That you have been in bed for 3 days and still feel like all you can do is sleep. Maybe she will will put a rush on things.

My dear friend, I’m sorry for your pain. I have also at times felt so overwhelmed that all I could do was sleep. The thing is that after being asleep in that bed for such a long time you wake up feeling worse. You are dehydrated, starved, sored, and even more depress. The only thing that takes this away is a long hot shower, some nice clean clothes and a plan to do something with yourself afterwards. Put on some makeup even if your staying home… Make yourself a cup of tea or coffee and drink it in peace. Then pick up a piece of paper and write down a prayer and the things in your heart. If not then get in the car and go somewhere by yourself and do something for you… God has not forsaken you, He is with you even when it doesn’t feel like it… Cry a long cry and ask God for His peace and presence and soon you will feel it. The Bible says be anxious about nothing but bring your prayer and supplication to the Lord. It’s hard not to be anxious but keep asking God to help you with this feeling that overwhelms you. You can also take something natural to help you cope with feelings of depression. Go to a natural foods store (i.e. Sprouts, wholefoods, or a vitamin shop) and buy something that can help you. I don’t know where in the world you are but in AZ we have Sprouts and that’s where I shop for vitamins and that stuff. I had a baby a month ago and have a mother overseas hospitalized with kidney disease and a double broken hip. I did get depressed a bit and have used some natural things to help me cope. I pray that God meets you right where you are and that He grants you that which you need right now. May God send you the help that you need.

Sincerely,

Maria
