Stress

Since last July,
my husband lost his job of 17 years, got a new one 7 months later
I have worked 4 new jobs, 7 days a week while he was out of work
had two replases of ms
my husband was hospitalized in april for a month witha heart condition,he passed out while on vacation
I got an order of protection against him
had a miscarriage
and no one understands why i am a little stressed???? does this seem stressfull to anyone else here?????? Or am i just playing poor me again??

Every one of those things would cause me stress! Hugs to you!

Yep sounds a wee bit stressful to me, nightowl. And while stress doesn't cause MS.. it sure can cause a flare! Take care of you. Who are the ppl who are in the "no one understands" grouping? IRL? What do they know!

any one of these occurences would be enough stress for one person......getting through so much and surviving proves what a very strong woman you are.....i truly hope that things ease up for you.....take care.....

Nightowl,

It sounds extremely stressful to me. My goodness. I am sorry all this has happened to you. Stay strong. Much love and peace to you.

It's all very, very stressful!

WIshing you peace,

Jan

thanks for letting me vent. Sorry . I dont' know what is wrong with me. But thanks for your support.

imo there's a difference between poor me attitude, being selfish, and TAKING CARE of oneself! Feel better, ok?

I'm sorry that all of this was in your life over the past year and it's easy to see that you are under ALOT of stress. Please vent here if it helps, that was we are here for. Take extra care of yourself right now. I hope you get some peace soon. I'll send some peaceful thoughts your way.

Did I forget to mention the foreclosure of my house. I was on the phone with the lawyer today. No help. The boys and I will be out in the streets in less than 3 months. My life really sucks!!!!!!!!!! I can't even think anymore. I don't feel anything. I try to talk to people and everyone says they are sorry but the house was in default and there is nothing anyone can do. Even thought it was my husband who did not make the payments. And payed the amont they asked for but the charges went up in the days between what they told me and when the got the check. so we will be homeless or living with my abusive parents. I would rather be homeless. Live in my car i guess. I don't know what to do. I am crazy and stupid like my husband has been telling me, i thought i could make it work out, i thought i could live on my own. WRONG!!!!!!!!!!! WHat an idoit I am.

Please stop being so hard on yourself. This is only making you feel worse. You don't deserve to feel this way. You seem very upset sweetie.

So, you've tried negotiating with them to see if you could catch up on the payments or something and they aren't being cooperative?

we are very upset!!! i am worried about where we will live and how we will keep the boys safe. We talked for hours on the phone this week and last. Parents are very angry because of situation, making things worse. Everyone is coming down very hard. We are lost.

NightOwl,

Call your local Social Services and see what type of services they have available as far as housing, clothes, food or whatever other needs you may have. Tell them your situation and see if there is something they can do for you. I know that there are shelters out there to help people in your situation. Is there any way you could obtain an apartment with in that 3 months. I am trying to think of options for you.

I am so sorry you are going through this right now. I totally understand how difficult this can be. After I left my ex-husband, I sought services through the Abused Womens Shelter. They were quite helpful. I know right now things seems hopeless but there is always a plan. I know it sounds like a cliche but when there is a will there is a way. Please, through this difficult time, try to keep your chin up. If not for you, do it for the children.

We are here for you. Please take good care of yourself.

Much love and peace,


Jen

do you have family or friends offering any support?

(((((((((huggs)))))))))) take care of you!

Doesn't sound to me that you're playing "poor me"! You have plenty of reasons to be stressed.

Can you find some time to be alone and refresh? I found that playing soft music and imagining a place that would be peaceful to me is as good as doing it in 3D! Give it a try, even if it's only for half an hour.

I understand you are upset nightowl and completely understand what you are going through...I've been through it myself. I LOST my home and barely escaped loosing my business after 911. My husband and I are just now starting to feel some relief after re-building our lives.

I know this can feel like the end, but it's not. I'm here if you need someone to talk to that has gone through this....with young children too. I hope you find some peace and am here to talk, listen and give you support. Please PM me, or can I please pm you?

Love, Missi

Take it one day at a time. Each day you are able to feed your boys and keep them safe is a day you have achieved something great. Don't expect more of yourself now. Keep yourselves safe. Find an apartment. Work hard. Keep strong and keep smiling for the boys. It's really hard work. Super hard. But you have to do it; they are depending on you. You will do it. You will find the strength. You have done it before. Don't panic. You can do it.
