Anyone ever feel like it would be easier to die than fix their life?

All the time, but only if there were a magic button to check yourself out...clean, painless, wink out. Who hasn't thought of that at some point? Still, at the worst times, there is always something to cling to. Potential sex one day? A new book coming out? A new movie you want to see down the road? That Amazon package you are waiting on? Fucking cling to anything that you can focus on. Something fun and for you. Fixate on it. If you handle your business at night, switch it up with a fantasy. Literally, do whatever you have to do to keep going. It won't always be better, but it will get better at times. And that's enough to keep breathing. And besides...there is no button, and the alternatives scare me.

Take care of yourself and drop a line to any of us if things get too heavy.

mirrororchid: We've compared denier/refuser spouses to prison wardens. Dr. Psychmom has compared them to hostage takers and the unhappy spouse has Stockholm syndrome. Prisoners can't leave. Stockholm hostages don't because they want a good outcome for the captor. Sept 10, 2024 18:54:11 GMT -5

mirrororchid: Heard on a podcast: "Dating is where we present our best selves. Vulnerability is the opposite. Where we risk our partner knowing things that are imperfect. This is the way to forge the life partner bond." Sept 10, 2024 19:17:03 GMT -5
