told exbf that i wanted a fresh start for me and kids next year, and asked for my key back and kids toys that were at his house. he came gave me back said items, then as i gave him his clothes etc from here, he gave us a bag full of xmas presents, saying that he loves me so much and always will etc. told me when i had got my head sorted to contact him, and we could still make it work. in one way i am relieved to have key back, and to not see him over xmas on the other hand i'm hurting real bad again, and feeling so confused. how can somebody who says they love me hurt me so much, always implying that everythings my fault, all in my head cos i'm depressed.
am i expecting too much? is it all my fault? i'm so confused and cant stop cryin.
hope everyone else is having a better day
big hugs

See how the break from him goes. Too much emotional pressure is not good and he shouldn't imply it's all down to you.

Hi Everybody!:hello:

I am sorry to read that so many of you are going through a difficult time right now: with sad anniversaries and memories, circumstances and hopes unrealised.
It is the Winter Solstice, after all, the 'lowest point' of the year - and it is normal to feel lower than normal.
Very few people who "seem sorted" (to quote Miro*), actually are, when you scratch below the surface. If you are "unsorted", you are in the majority!

* Loved the pic Miro - you are a handsome man......

If only that was me, i'd be dining out this time of year on that song alone :rotfl:

I am finally plucking up the courage to post on this thread in the vain hope that once I have written things down they might start to feel better:rolleyes:
I had a Breakdown some 3 months ago and until about 10 days ago thought that the new meds were working. But I know feel as if I have been plunged back into the darkest of places with nowhwere to escape too. I can sleep I cant go out I just want to ............................ oh I guess I just want the old me back. I have to learn that the old me has gone and come to terms with the new bionic me.I feel angry, resentful and shamefully murederous at times.:mad:
I know all this sounds pathetic and there are people far worse off than me but I am finding everything so darn hard:mad:

Welcome to the thread.

Anyone who is depressed are as worse off as each other. We are all in a place we don't want to be and are all as important as each other, so don't put your feelings down.

that is a beautiful poem and well it makes me miss my dad who passed away 5 months ago.
This is a difficult time for me at the moment as I really dont feel like celebrating christmas but that would be unfair on my 11 yr old daughter.

Celebrate for your daughter, but reserve special time in your heart for your father.

Alot of 11 year olds, without you knowing, will know how you are feeling, but feel uncomfortable about saying anything and should appreciate any effory you make

It is very difficult to face all the 'firsts', whether it is from a passing of a loved one or the dramatic change in a relationship. But it's like every other thing we ever do in our lives....first step; first kiss; first dance; first serious relationship; first driving lesson; first born.......

My dad passed in the October, two weeks before mum's birthday. It was their wedding anniversary & my birthday in November, & of course christmas.

My father-in-law passed three weeks after the birth of my eldest; my mother-in-law diagnosed with bowel cancer early November & passed the beginning of January a few years back, & now their son has been told this week, he has terminal pancreatic cancer.

If we love someone, it is never a 'good time' to miss them; you just find a less painful way of coping with your loss. And that's when the good memories come.....

Peaceful Minds folks. BMFx

As you say, we all think of lost ones all year round. I guess at Christmas when families and a time for being with loved ones is chucked in our face, we feel worse knowing what we have lost.

Hope you are well :T
