Вроде бы живём вместе уже пять лет, а такое ощущение, что говорим на разных языках. Я его не понимаю, он меня не слышит. Это просто невыносимо! Вот вчера, например. Прихожу с работы уставшая, а он сидит на диване, в телефон уткнулся. Я ему говорю: дорогой, может, ужин приготовишь? А он мне в своем фирменном тоне: ага, сейчас. И продолжает в телефоне копаться, не выдержала, психанула, опять рассорились.
А ведь раньше всё по-другому было. Помню, как он за мной ухаживал. Цветы, свидания, комплименты. Куда всё это делось? Сейчас даже доброе утро не всегда говорит. Обидно до слёз. он как будто разлюбил меня. И ведь я пыталась с ним поговорить. Сядем, вроде начнём разговор по душам. Я ему объясняю, что мне внимания не хватает, что хочу чувствовать себя любимой. А он кивает, соглашается, а потом всё по новой, как будто соглашается только ради галочки, чтобы я от него отстала
Девчонки, может, я чего-то не понимаю? Может, это я слишком много хочу? Но ведь это нормально – ждать от мужа поддержки и понимания, правда?
А ещё эти его друзья. Вечно зовут его куда-то. То на рыбалку, то в баню, то просто выпить. А я в это время дома одна сижу. Когда я предлагаю ему выбраться куда-то, то он становится раздражительным, говорит, что денег нет, что я транжира и тд.
Порой проскальзывает мысль – может, развестись? Зачем нам всё это, если любви нет? И ведь не скажешь, что он плохой человек. Работает, деньги в дом приносит. Не пьёт, не гуляет. Но этого мало, понимаете? Хочется тепла, заботы, внимания. А он как робот какой-то
Реально ли в моем случае вернуть в отношения тепло и понимание? И как это сделать? Как заставить мужа услышать меня? Я просто не знаю, сколько ещё смогу так жить. Хочется любви, а не холодной войны. Поделитесь опытом, пожалуйста. Я уже на грани
May I wonder a few things? How old are you? Are you against any meds on principle? And, if you don’t mind me asking, do you imply some sort of addiction by “drastic past measures”? Don’t reply the last one if you don’t want to.
I’m afraid I can’t provide much insight into your dreams.
I’ve read a lot about stoicism, can’t say I’m a follower, just curious. From what I understand, the Stoic approach is to “do less” and sorta let it go, not wasting your emotional energy on things you can’t influence. We all will die sooner or later, “memento mori” and all that. There’s no need to rush into it while we still can do some small good things in the world.
Hi, have you sought some offline help? Like therapy?
As a formerly suicidal person, I understand the feeling of isolation and hopelessness. The discomfort that comes with acknowledging the intrusive thoughts while having little to no intent to act, but the occasional enticement because of “what if” scenarios your mind begins to brainstorm. I know the feeling of everything feeling seemingly futile and resorting to unhealthy coping mechanisms to either numb or distract yourself.
Unfortunately, it doesn’t get any easier. However that doesn’t mean overcoming this hardship is impossible. While I definitely encourage seeking professional help, other outlets that aren’t as costly include: finding community through volunteering, connecting with others experiencing similar struggles through virtual support groups or in-person workshops, etc. These are things I began doing when starting my journey to recovery and while I’m only 2 years into it, there’s been a tremendous, positive impact.
If volunteering, support workshops and group feels too much for you, that’s okay too. You can start smaller with things like art therapy and meditation. You don’t have to be an artist or “know” how to meditate for it to be effective, you can just translate your feelings onto to paper and trash it when you’re done, or keep it if you like. When you meditate, you can use it as a moment to breathe and reflect. I honestly recommend trying anything and everything until you find something that works, and if you find something, stick with it and continue to experiment.
I don’t know what you’re going through but I hope that it smooths over for you soon. I’m glad that you’re still here and hope that you receive the help you deserve, my heart goes out to you.🎈
@noego23 I’m 27. Not on principle, I simply don’t think medication is for me. It’s an easy fix, mostly like any placebo, but it doesn’t last long. As for your last question sure I can answer it. I used to abuse amphetamines for a short while. They might as well be the beginning of my lingering depression...
@fido_oblivion Thanx, I’ve read philosophical arguments about that. It has helped me to move on in the past but sooner or later it all stops working and thoughts about death spiral out of control.
@Katt3rmune Hiya, sure, I’ve been in therapy for some time. It addressed my mental state somewhat, but it does not deal with my spiritual state, and I believe the two are connected. I think at some point one comes to a state when it’s better to end one’s life rather than continue with it. I have a deep respect for those who have been able to overcome their depression, especially when it’s major depression (mine was always tested as ‘minor’ BTW). As for me, I’m rather tired of playing all that ‘try a little more’ game. I’ve tried it all, honestly
@Mitchel Thanx a lot! The truth is I'm not going through *anything* in my life. If I could find at least one horrible reason for my desperate emotions - something I'd pity myself for, perhaps I'd feel more at ease. I'd tell myself sure thing you're facing a lot. But my days are all the same. The most irritating aspect that bothers me is a lack of desire or strength to do things in my best interest. Every time I begin thinking of ending my life, I go onto some forum or app and unload my mind, exchange ideas.. then wait for another wave to hit me. Perhaps my biggest wish is that instead of thinking of ending my life I could think of how to end the way I'm living my life now! I know no one can make any changes in my life but me. I know everything in theory, but in practice I'm crashed by the feeling of utter insignificance.
Appreciate your suggestion about art therapy. I'm not an art person. I think in algorithms and formulas. Even though my writing sometimes sounds too poetic (so I've been told), I'm a scientist at heart. Sometimes I'm contemplating a retreat to Asia. It seems very appealing. But I need to finish some business first.
@Bjørnulf Thank you for answering. OK, one more question: have you got any stomach issues? I don’t mean anything light, like occasional food poisoning. I mean constant issues.
Here’s why I’m asking. I’ve recently read a book and some following studies researching the direct link between depression and gut issues. If you have any problems of that sort, look no further. This is the cause of your waves of depression and all your thoughts. This is what needs to be fixed! A trip to the gastroenterologist is required.
