I'm probably older than most posters here, I'm 56, my father was in the hospital, went to a nursing today, he's 83, and I don't know if I should be glad he's in a home or not. This could be a long story. My mother and sister have already passed away. It's now just my brother and his family and myself and husband, I have no children of my own. I'm so mixed up. I love my father but a prior therapist asked me if I loved him or liked him, two diifferent things, I just don't know. Not even sure now if I love my husband nor myself. Wish with all my heart and soul I would die. I never used to wish for that because I saw what it did to my father when he lost his other daughter, I don't want to hurt him again like that, but I want so much my life to end. I don't believe I'm suicidal, just wish a natural death would happen to me. I have an appt. with my psych doctor next week, but all she'll do is change or add medicine. She will encourage me to talk to a therapist which I've done in the past and it was not help. I've talked to 3 different therapists, the second may be one I would go back to. I'm up, I'm down, I drink alcohol when I'm not working which brings me down even further and I know that's not right. I don't tell my husband how much I am hurting, because he throws his arms up, doesn't agree with depression and/or anxiety. Maybe when it happens to his family, he'll understand, but I doubt it. I want to die, I want my father to die because he will be at peace with my other, and I don't care right now what happens after I die. I just wish so much I would go to sleep at night and now wake up.

attentionThis is an old thread. You probably should not post your reply to it, as the original poster is unlikely to see it.
