Just feel very alone

Dear gr8fl: Thanks for the encouragement. And I do need to be thankful for my family of husband and two kids. Sometimes when I feel like I want someone to "take care of me" is when painful childhood memories, or in my case, more like age 14-18 memories, I feel so vulnerable and afraid and I'm not sure who it would be to be of help. I don't like talking about those memories but I think it's then when I want to feel safe and secure so no one will hurt me anymore. In addition to those memories, I think I'm grieving that even though my Mom was alive then, she didn't do anything to stop the abuse and so I think I'm grieving over something that I desperately wanted (and needed) but didn't have. I don't know, it's kind of mixed up feeling and I don't like it that I still feel that way when I'm 46 and a mother and a wife. It's hard to give those kind of feelings when they weren't given to you. Thanks for writing.

Dear Crying inside...we all feel like crying inside sometimes. One of my favourite CD's has a song called "Don't Cry" by Seal. He is a black singer from England. He also wrote "Kiss of a Rose" which was a big hit in the 90's. He is very poetic and expresses well the person who is depressed. One of the lines in his song is "Don't Cry...you'll still be loved", and "you're not alone". I comforts me when I play music like that that makes me realise there are many of us out there who do feel the same. Everyone who reads your note will feel for you. Take care...

Cryinginside, I'm sorry to hear you are feeling down. I am 46 myself and struggle with my emotions constatntly. In what way do you "want someone to take care of you"? Do you mean someone to talk to and listen to you? You certainly have the tools to take care of yourself. You've done so for 46 years. You have a husband and 2 children which is a blessing and more than some others who are suffering have. Even if you aren't happy with certain relationships they are still [i]your[/i] family and things [i]can[/i] change for the better. Believe me, I know from experience how hard it can be but there are many things you can do to help yourself. There are some helpful books out there as well as certain exercises (mental and physical) you can do and even certain medications that can make a huge difference and positive change in your life. And there is always someone out there who cares and will listen to you when and if you feel the need to talk about something. Someone like me for instance. If you so desire I will give you my e-mail address so you can reach me anytime or you can contact me through this forum whenever you wish. [i]Stay well. Keep positive. Good luck.[/i]

As a child to an adult I don't know if my words would count as anything, but I will try to help. I have seen, and heard alot of many things, and I do try to help. My family, and I are having problems too. So my suggestion to you is go to a therapist. Trust me I used to totaly neglect them, I thought it would never work, but look for one that will liscen, that will help. I don't know if I did help, but I really hope your situation goes well.

Today is a difficult day. No special reason. I just feel very alone and wonder why I'm still here.I'm 46 and still wish "someone would just take care of me". I lost my dad when I was 13 and my Mom died when I was 30. I have a brother who I haven't seen in 11 years and a sister that see maybe once every one or two years. I have my husband and two kids but I don't feel like I have my own family anymore. My relationship with my 18 year old daughter is very strained and very stressful. She no longer lives with us but has caused our family a lot of grief. I feel responsible for some of her problems. I guess sometimes I just wonder what is the use to keep struggling all the time. I wish I could crawl out of this dark hole I'm in but it just never seems to go away. I wish I had family that I could talk to about things but I don't. It's just hard.
