I am not happy with myself and fear of lossing my family because of it .
Question Posted Saturday April 17 2010, 8:50 pm
I have a sadness in my heart and I don't know why I cant seem to feel more positive about myself. I wanna be a great mother to my children but fear I am not strong enough to endure all. I love them more than anything in the whole world but that just isn't enough I fear. I don't want to fail them as a mother, I want to be a better person for my partner and I feel lost because I am not happy with myself so how can I make someone else happy. I feel he does not want me anymore. I feel so judged and hate it. I am tired of being so anxious about everything I want peace of mind. Sometimes I want to just live in a bubble and never leave. Why do I feel this way? What is wrong with me? What are steps to improve myself for my family.I have no insurance and unable to seek professional help so I am turning to the web for any suggestions. Thanks

Is there anything in your community as far as selfhelp groups available? Sometimes hospitals have free groups. Is there a community health center where you can get affordable help? I have that where I live in NH and they have doctors/therepists/help with medication costs if needed. Please look into things if you can. Sounds like you need some help right now. Maybe some depression going on and that can be serious. You are not alone. Good luck-feel free to talk to me if you need a friend.:) I have been through a lot in my life and maybe i can be of some help. I hope so.:) [ jules31's advice column | Ask jules31 A Question ]

It sounds like your suffering from depression and I am no professional so I am not going to sit here and try to tell you how to get thru it. Not having insurance does make it a little more difficult but you still have options. There are tons of FREE depression helplines and chat rooms that you can utilize.
Visit www.befrienders.org or call 1-800-784-2433. Alot of these resources have trained professionals and counselors who can help. Also, just talking to people who are in the same boat as you might help. Just dont give up. [ elw5039's advice column | Ask elw5039 A Question ]

Dazedandconfused2010 answered Sunday April 18 2010, 4:01 pm: I think you are probably just insecure.
Most likely you are a great wife and mother but you just can't see it because of your low self esteem. Your husband may or may not have picked up on this, but if he has he should say encouraging things. But for it to truly work you have to be comfortable with yourself. You seem like a deeply caring person and you probably feel misunderstood. Try not to worry so much I would bet you are doing much better than you will give yourself credit for. Have a little confidence and things will change [ Dazedandconfused2010's advice column | Ask Dazedandconfused2010 A Question ]
