Thank you @oct20
Let me just say first, I hear you and I felt exactly the same!! Hold on it gets better!
I am going on my 11th anniversary-mine burst aneurysm happened in Tulsa, I was life-flighted to the downtown hospital- it was terrifying, but that was only the beginning. Getting home and facing the rest of my life was the next challenge.
My family didnāt get it-Iāve recently found out that my daughter had an abortion right after I got home from the hospital-and was avoiding coming to see me-and we lived in the same house!
She didnāt want to tell me because she thought it would kill me-my younger daughter started dating an abusive boyfriend and I couldnāt understand why she was pulling so far away from me.
These are horrible things I had no idea were happening because I was just trying to recover.
My husband and I struggled with all of it-he couldnāt understand why I looked the same, but was acting so much different, just for one example.
But here is the good news: we moved away, to a new city-new jobs-new everything which had challenges, too many to cover, but jump to today-Iām now the proud owner of my own General store with a coffee shop inside! Itās unreal! My husband and I are focused on our marriage and our church and our new business!
Me! Iām running a business! Itās a lot of support from this website, and local support group and God, of course, which has helped me out of my deep depression and given me purpose!
Good luck and take time to just heal-sleep when you need it-give yourself permission to fail and celebrate when you do regular things! You are alive-find one good thing every day and stop and say-Right, this is why Iām still here!
