Lost

By: Sherry R. (View Profile)

Not once but twice, in the last year, my husband has threatened to leave me. On more than one occasion over the past year, I have begged him stay. I am not proud of this at all. I am so alone. I have no one to turn to. I am afraid of being even more alone, if he leaves. I am in a marriage that I have given my life to. Taking care of his needs and ignoring mine. Not taking any time to take care of myself. And now I feel lost. I am thirty-five years old and haven’t been able to find a job for the past two years, even though I am a very qualified web developer.

I don’t know what to do. I don’t have any self worth, because I don’t know if he is staying with me for the right reasons. I am alone and that hurts. I have been through so much over the past eight years, constantly, stuff going wrong. Very wrong.

I am tired and stressed out. I feel like I am going around in circles and can’t get out. I have thought of suicide of many occasions but was never brave enough to do it. I have prayed for help so many times. I don’t know what to do again.

I don’t feel I can take care of myself, I suffer from anxiety and panic attacks because of all the stress over the years. 

I feel so lost.

look up not down on your problems.... look to the Lord... that is what he wants you to do... look to him... look up out of the pit... you know he is there... that is where your faith comes in... he has said he would never leave or forsake us... you can make it... I once heard Joyce Meyer says you have to keep on keeping on... we all get down in the pit but we have Jesus there to pull us out... just keep looking up.... He is there....

You admitted yourself that you can be very self reliable. With the attention that you give to him ,to your home and experience in working. You've got to get up and get off the bed , clean yourself up very nice . For no reason except for yourself. Ignore him. and find something to do with yourself. Start by Praying! I know this seems hard. But, how how hard is thinking about taking your on life because of him? There is a time for grief, and you've done enough of that. It's time to swallow your pain and stand up. And Live! Stop hurting, through God all things are possible. It's time to trust Jesus. Let go of all the pain and let him handle your heart. I hope that you don't think that I'm be tough on you. I went through the same thing. I know what it's like to feel hopeless and helpless. This is how I found my strenght. The the lord ir Awesome and can take your pain away completely. you just have to trust him and give it all over to him. April K. Pritchett

I believe there is a season for everything you are just in a bad season at this time. I do not know all the details but if there is not enough in either of you to fight for the other then you need to seek comfort for your needs first before you can be productive to your partner. Sometimes we get stuck in comfortable relationships out of ease not need. It is not time that heals all things rather it is what you do with your time that will determine your future. You cannot change anyone or anything but yourself if you are trying to change someone else you are draining your energy needlessly. Make a decision to do one thing positive a day. Within 21 days you will have formed 21 positive habits and you will noticeably feel rejuvenated. The hardest part is taking the first step out of your comfort zone whatever that may be, after that you will not want to look back and only you can take those steps. Will you take that step soon? I hope so. Danielle :)
