So Depressed! Posted: 10-15-06 02:48am
I don't know why but I feel .R.E.A.L.L.Y
down lately. Things are starting to look
up for me, my course is going really well
and everything but I just can't shake off
this feeling.
I think its partly to do with the break
up. I am shocked that I feel nothing
towards the guy i've been with since I was
16.
I don't miss him at all. As long as he
still takes the kids regularly so that I
can study, I couldn't care less what he
does with his life. That makes me feel so
bad cause i'm not a cold hearted person
and I thought i'd miss him.
Also, i'm still not dealing too well with
angel's death. Its got to the point
already where people are expecting me to
get over it and its just not that easy. I
know I will never have another baby now as
I have split from their dad and I don't
want kids by different fathers (personal
choice- I have nothing wrong with other
people who do it)
anyway, there is this guy who went to my
college but dropped out and he is
gorgeous. We are keeping in touch by text
and msn and he's all I can think about.
I'm hoping so bad that something will
happen with us and I sit there waiting for
him to contact me.
What is wrong with me? Please can someone
analyse my behaviour cause I don't know
why I am acting like a school girl over
this guy.
Sorry for long post. Thanks girls.

You're going through a normal part of
greiving.
You are trying to put yourself back in a
situation when things were still good -
before bad things happened.
I guess it's a form of denial.
I had to think about this a lot before
committing to going back to college that I
wasn't just in denial and trying to go
back to a "good time" in my life.
But I did say that I always wanted to go
back to college and I talked it out long
and hard with steve.
I thought you and hubby were going to try
and work things out?
I do think you need some form of
counselling beck, I know how hard that
is.
I am just (i think) getting to a point
where I accept .Oliver not being here -
now i'm scared that in just under 2 weeks
that is all going to fall apart because it
will be the 2 year anniversary.
Yes, 2 years and yes, it's still hard,
don't expect yourself to get over the
death of a child in a matter of weeks -
sure you will have good patches where you
seem to cope and then bam it all falls
apart again.
I pm'd you my number a while back - feel
free to call me or send me your number if
you want me to call you.
Heck i'll talk with hubby if you want and
explain how things are for a woman who
lost a child.
Take time to grieve.
I went back to work asap after losing
.Oliver and I don't think, in hind sight,
that it was the right thing to do. I was
in some sort of denial and it hit me about
5 months later - it's been (and still is)
a long slow healing process.
Losing a child is not something you "get
over", but over time you begin to accept.

Hi kia. Thanks so much for your reply.
We were meant to be trying to work things
out but we didn't actually try to work
things out. We just lived seperate and
got on with our lives. I don't whether it
is just how he is dealing with things but
he is acting like a complete jerk.
He keeps saying he will have the kids and
letting me down. He was supposed to take
them last night so I could sleep in this
morning (haven't slept properly for weeks)
he then called me and said he was going
out with his friends so he wouldn't take
them until 9 am this morning.
It is now nearly half past eleven and his
mobile is off and I don't know where he
is. He keeps doing this all the time.
The ball is always in his court now cause
I can't 'force' him to have the kids like
he makes me. He is acting like a free guy
with no kids. Its really getting me down.
I don't wanna be with him but I do want
him to be a dad to his kids.
I just don't know what to do anymore. I
just keep thinking of that guy from
college even though he doesn't seem that
keen. I'm hoping I can pull myself
together soon so I can concentrate on
college and the kids

Hunni don't go throwing yourself into a
relationship with anyone else just yet.
There is too much pain and hurt inside for
you right now.
Hubby is probably trying to avoid seeing
you because he doesn't want to see you
upset or he doesn't want you to see him
upset.
He probably thinks by avoiding a situation
he doesn't know how to handle the
situation will go away.
He too is probably trying to put himself
back in a "good time" before anything
"bad" happened.
You need to sit down with a mediator (a
trusted friend or family member or a
proper counsellor) and talk through some
issues.

You are right about the relationship thing
but I don't think me and my hubby can be
saved. He has shown me a other side of
him who is cold and selfish. I begged him
to help me out with the kids. I told him
i'm having a hard time coping but he just
doesn't care. He is acting normal going
to uni and seeing his freinds at night.
In the meantime I am struggling to do my
coursework whilst juggling the kids and
waking up at 6am every morning to take
them to mums while he sleeps in at his
house.
He never texts me to ask how the kids are
when I have them. I confronted him and he
said ' I don't want to speak to you' I
said these are his children and he should
miss them and want to know how they are
regardless.
He can go for days without seeing them
and not miss them at all. I never want to
get back with him cause he has said sonme
horrible things and he meant them all. He
also said he is so glad he is split up
with me cause he doesn't have to put up
with my 'caca' anymore- meaning me
greiving. I just wish I could get more
help with the kids

Does your college have a nursery? Most do
around the uk now so maybe that would help
and you might get to meet some other moms
who are studying too.

My mum looks after them while I study and
the college creche only takes children
aged 3 and over anyway. He has just been
to pick them up and has taken them so i'm
going to try and have a sleep and chill
out for the rest of the day. Thanks again
for your help sweetie
