Hi,

I am separated for the past 8-9 months. My daughter was just 3 months then and although I made multiple attempts, things haven't worked out. He has cut all forms of communication with me although he did make a sort-of formal visit on my daughter's first birthday but other than that he has not made contact to check for her also. I am over him I know that for sure. However, I am not sure about how I feel. No matter what I do I still feel no tension. I am not able to feel the responsibility of my child. Since I live in a joint family (parents, brother and his wife) and they help with my child as well as regular expenses (basic needs). I pay for any extra expense but then now I don't even feel bad or ashamed about it, neither do I feel the need to work harder to be able to share the basic expenses.

I am working freelance. However, I am unable to concentrate or focus on anything. I do ten things and end up with nothing concrete eventually making little progress. I am unable to pour passion into anything. I guess deep down I feel that doing anything is futile.

I live in a dream world. Its like creating my own films where I play the main lead and I get to direct too. I have complete control over it. This has increased so much so that I am unable to do anything now. I even spend less time with my child. I understand why this is happening but I dont know how to control it or stop it completely.

I know there is some problem with me but I dont know what it is. I don't feel stressed out or frustrated, tensed or anything but then I am not able to get anything done either.

Help me!

Have you been to your doctor and told them how you feel? I think that you should see a professional to help with your feelings.
Try doing the 'sanity score test' on this website - it may give you a little insight into your mental health

I agree with Belle1979.

You should get some assistance from a T, to gain some understanding of who you are & what you can do to become a happier person. The sanity score does pick up on tendencies people have, which you can research further and mention to the T.

Best wishes!

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