Broken & Lonely

What a beautiful day and yet what a rotten mood Im in. Im lonely and crushed and I can’t find any humor in my life today. I miss my husband terribly and my family all together. Im hurting and honestly angry and I just want to eat because Im PO’d and want to be comforted. Can’t believe Im writing this. Guess Im reaching out for support and prayer. My marriage while not 100% over has failed and our business is failing. We are on the edge of losing it all, marriage, business, home, cars. When you’ve given your all to something (marriage 22 years + 2 separated & business 12 years) and it crumbles out from under you…no retirement…what was it all for? I want to numb myself, can’t do it w/ alcohol, I have to be a responsible parent. So I choose food. Food has been my comfort in a lonely marriage. I want to eat so bad. I know I’d hate myself for it. I no I shouldn’t. Im so screwed up.

    You are not screwed up. I’m so sorry for what you’re going through right now. I also reach for food (bad ones) when I’m feeling down in order to forget about my problems, but we’re here to support one another and learn healthier coping mechanisms. I hope you feel better soon!

    You are not screwed up!!! Pa leeeese…that is the last thing you are…
    Just because things are going bad…that does not make you bad…
    It will be ok…just take it one day at a time!
    I know someone who is called the Comforter! He understands and He will make you feel better…not leave you feeling bloated…like a failure. I read a great book by Him…it says He is the same yesterday and tomorrow…so He is still in the miracle working business…and He usually uses situations that seem like all is lost…so only He can get the Glory! He turns water into wine and gives you beauty for ashes…
    He binds up the broken hearted and He LOVES you like nobody ever can or will!

    You can make it through this just one day at a time. Food just adds to the weight of depression cause it makes you feel even worse and lets yourself blame for one more thing. Be strong - We love ya!

    Something in the air… seems the last couple days everyone has been having a hard time. Just lean into the group, we’ll all hold each other up!
