My counselor thinks that is where I ' m headed . I ' ve now got counseling apointments three times weekly . Gee , I feel just like Monk on the TV show ! Everything in my life is completely out of my control now . I know exactly what the old adage , " I ' ve got a tiger by the tail " means now . My marriage is in limbo because my estranged husband is having a mid - life crisis from hell and is in a constant state of confusion . Our business is failing because of the first problem . And the first problem isn ' t getting any better because of the second problem . It is a constant cycle of turmoil !

I could handle the changing of my body and not being able to function . I took on a psychologist , and remember what he told me the first time . His job was to help me put him out of a job . My wife although good at communicating knew there was something wrong but didn ' t know how to give me empathy because she had no clue what the MD was doing to my body . It was good that I had a journal . At times it kept me sane . draconis w.myspace.com/draconis1973 Save Share Reply Blanca Blanca · Registered Joined Jul 25 , 2008 · 4,017 Posts # 3 • Oct 12 , 2008 Ya , ive had plenty of nervous breakdowns . What helped me the most was to get out of my own problems . My world was starting to revolve around me and my problems . Its a big world out there . For me , it helped to volunteer at places and get some perspective on my problems . I met some kids that had it so much worse then i ever will and it helped me realize that I ' m OK and my issues are not that big of a deal . I was just letting them consume all my thoughts so they became more then what they were . Relationships are good , and its good to work on them , but sometimes you have to separate yourself from it and just accept that you ' re doing your best , and whatever happens , you ' ll be OK .
