The big indecision in my life now is whether or not to move forward with him and stay married. I am terrified of being alone. I know we can’t change our problem— it’s too long going and never changing. I’m stuck, but, something will just happen and I’ll take it.

I’m basically alright, a good person, a capable adult for the most part. I have the intelligence, but never applied myself. I have severe anxiety, depression, and was diagnosed with a disorder.

I can’t state enough how much it bothers me at the suspicious way I was diagnosed yet my h is the non-stop button presser! He is an abuser and I go to the moon over it.
In my situation, everything I was diagnosed with (major depression, major anxiety & even my anorexia) went away when I left my bad marriage. It doesn't always happen that way. My T definitely said it showed that my diagnosis was situational & nothing permanent.

We are individuals & we all react differently to situations. Sometimes we need to accept that as who we are & not compare ourselves to others. There are some things about ourselves that won't change any more than the things we want others to change. Sometimes the best we can do is learn how to function better within the constraints of who we are
