A poem and then some

Feeling the darkness
I can't explain
Looking for hope with no gain
submerged faith, and I still believe.
What lies ahead,who only knows
my life is pain that only slows

as I get older
I understand.
That what is my path is also in my hand.

My body is tired and my mind numb
As I cry with my heart
I look for the light
I look for softness from a kind soul
To help me on my knees
And climb out of this emotional hole.

I wrote this some time ago, but up and down I go, like a yoyo and that journey seems to come around all to often. My partner is giving me some serious grief and dishing out some hurtful comments. I don't feel like my home is my home, I have been having horrible nightmares.I just feel like screaming. I have been sleeping on the lounge for day's now. Every morning now I wake up and feel so tense and tight, stressed out. I can't deal with this anymore. I have to go to work and be ok, and pretend to my children that all is good. I am miserable. Its no wonder quite frequently I want to drink alcohol and eat relaxants like yum fruity lollies, at least then I get some decent sleep.

It

The poem is so true. I think it happens to us all at various stages. You need to get some help about how to deal with your partner's comments/nastiness - my suggestion - get rid of them as they are toxic and not good for you.

Go It!!!
