I'm throwing my arms in the air and sighing really big and just giving up.
No, it's not about suicide, dont worry about that. It's the total, inescapable insanity of my life and my inability to make any decisions because other factors and people are just in the way. I am so utterly powerless and I hate it. Too many decisions, too many choices to make and I can't think anymore. I'm beyond pissed off, beyond frustrated. Arghhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

Tina, could you consider a therapist or counselor? This is a tough time for you and it might help you sort things out a bit.
I think it's only natural to feel confused right now. And angry. Boy would I be angry.
A big old cyberhug for you.

oh Dinah. If only I could afford a therapist. I could talk one's ear off right now. I need therapy so badly, for the first time I really know I need it but I can't get it. It's frustrating. I'm trying to find one that is paid by the public health plan but they are all busy. There's no way I can afford a private one. I can't afford a lawyer for my divorce either and that has to take precidence right now.
Like I said in my above post, I can't do anything and I'm frustrated to hell!!
thanks for the hug

you can at anytime go to the hospital and ask to speak to a crisis worker..
they can direct you to someone that will see you regularly..it may not be a pdoc,,more likley a social worker...
good luck tina..

Tina,
I can relate to your frustration. Not being able to make decisions is the pits!
Am I correct to assume that you are not in the US? In the US there are counseling centers that work on a sliding scale - what they charge is based on what you have.
Sometimes ministers, priests, or rabbis can help. They tend to have some counseling training.
Do you have a favorite aunt or uncle? Or a friend who is very understanding who might be willing to commit to a limited amount of talking about your issues?
Failing that, please post to us and we'll help the best we can.
(((((Tina)))))

Tina,
Passion, anger, venting. Dang girl, I'm impressed. I'm impressed because I personally am repressed. It's like I *eat* my anger, shove it inside, and let it infect the rest of my body. Maybe I'll try screaming my frustrations out tonite, if I can find a place where nobody will hear me. :)

KD, I don't vent either. I repress until I explode. I'm not a healthy emoter, believe me. I am flip, obtuse and use humour as a coping mechanism. I can hide inside myself so deep that I now have no idea who or where I am.
Don't be impressed. I only wish I could scream in the real world but I only scream in cyberspace. Space is a vacuum so the scream is silent anyway.
take care
tina
