I know I'm not the smartest or wittiest in the world but I'm trying to interract with others . But is there no safe place? I get attacked wherever I go it seems. Here too. Long time ago. I don't ask for it it just seems to appear. Where can I go if not here. If it wasn't for babble I won't say what I'd do as I feel my life is over anyway. I've raised my kids to be succesful. My husband hates me as he's not working and I want to work and can't . The throws of agorapobia have me in their grips. I promised myself that I'd always keep my mouth shut if I ever have bad thoughts and I will. But my goals in life have been completed. Love Phillipa

Phillipa, please please please hang in there. I hear that you feel so hurt and in so much pain and like you have done all you need to in this life, but there is so much more. Even if your kids are successful, they would be devastated, I am sure, if something bad were to happen to you. You have helped so many people here. I know Babble can be upsetting. Maybe take a break and do something you like? Take a warm bath, read a good book, drink hot chocolate? Something comforting?

You're cared for, I know what you mean about not feeling safe though :-(
You're very needed and appreciated here, and I'm sure IRL too.... I'm so sorry about your husband, I'm very fortunate with my husband (but not with the rest of my "relatives" apart from my sister in law and her family) Sorry for rambling, I feel for you,

No MB he was painting custom graphics on speed boats outside and it's too cold to paint outside now. So no work again. Love Phillipa

There may be no safe place. But there are places where, even when you feel hurt, there are people who care about you and wish to support you.
I think I see a lot of that here for you. And I hope you have it IRL as well. You deserve to have it IRL as well.

Hey girl, I'm sorry you're feeling low. Just try to keep in mind that there will always be those people who strike out at others, and those people are most likely way more miserable than you will ever be. Also there is the subject I've harped on forever about how easy it is to misinterpret things written online. So try not to take those things personally. Those people don't know you and can't possibly make an accurate judgement of you. So why care?
As for your husband, would he consider counseling? I know some men won't. If that's the case you might ask your T about some things to do specifically concerning your marital relationship. Of course it would be even better if he would go with you and the two of you could get to the bottom of things together. Otherwise, if you're completely miserable with him, maybe you need to make a change. The thing I always think when I hate my life is: okay, the only person who can change MY life is ME. So what am I going to do about it?
Anyway, I hope you feel better soon! You know you have alot of friends here.

I'd love to be able to meet you someday too. I'd like to see N. Carolina (that's where you are, right?). I love to travel, maybe someday soon I can afford to go to the places I want to. My most desired places to visit is Austrailia (#1) and Europe(#2). England, France, Greece, Italy, Germany, Switzerland (hopefully all those are actually Europe, geography has never been my strong point). All of those places just seem like a dream, like they're not real. My dream is to see all those places. The only places I've been like that were Hawaii and L.A., which I know is luckier than alot of people.
Sorry, I'm rambling.

I'm a little drunk too, so I think I'll sign off before I say something stupid.

P.S. I was sober on the original post. So that was actually stuff I seriously wanted to say. Okay, I'm definetely signing off now. I put too much vodka in that last drink.

Gabbi,
Did you invent the verb - "nonsuppost"? I like it. Has a German ring with a like Anthony Burgess clockwork-orange flavor.

Meant "notsuppost" and not sure the rest of my sentence will hold up if inspected closely. Geez, I'm feeling loopy after two beers. Guess I'm ready to play high stakes poker.
Happily, I only let the brewbeast out about once a week, and I'm even making progress with various "projects" - like digging a tunnel out of here.

As far as I know I invented it. And thank you.
I love a Clockwork Orange, it's one of my favourite books.
I think love is kind of the wrong adjective, but I'm too lazy to think of anything else..

I see what you mean now, I only last night read the thread (s?):-(
Good for you for being "strong" enough to stay / I'm not.
Good luck,
