Hi,
I'm new to this group but I think this is going to be interesting and I believe we all will benefit so much from here. First I thank you for the test and sure this has started helping me already as I know where I am as it partains to self esteem.
Cheers

It's been quite some years since I have been on this site.
My world has gone down hill in the last twelve months.I had been at the same job for over ten years, and after 3 months as being manager of the corporation, she decided to performance manage me...she focused on anything, even so much as copying labels onto the wrong side of a sheet once. Eventually I had to go onto sick leaave following by Workcover...until I eventually had to sell my house and leave where I was (I was going to do this anyway...one day)...I moved to another area and within a couple of months got a job in the same type of industry...once again...I found myself being bullied and intimated by a fellow worker...I started to get physically sick evermorning before I went to work until one day I broke down and walked out. I now find myself unemployed, with rent to pay (it was at least easier when I owned my own house)and don't know where it is going to end. I have applied for so many jobs, I am beginning to feel that I'm not good enough for my line of work anymore. Many times, I feel like just ending it all, but I'm told that that is not an option, yet, I don't know what to do. This feeling of being helpless and hopeless is overwhelming me. I have put on so much weight just through comfort eating and can't be bothered to look after myself like I used to. I just want to go to bed and sleep and not wake up.....am just tired of the daily struggles

I just wanted to share how I am feeling right at the moment. I am almost 50 years old and I have recognised within myself a need to pay some attention to why I am unable to become close to anyone. I have a theory that goes like this. When I was 9 my father passed away and before that he was so unwell and I remember as far back as I am able to. Then my mother sent me, my sister and brother away to boarding school and I remember the pain of not being able to express my needs in those years because I was away from my mother. When I fell in love with a man it didn't suit my mother so I then married a man who did. Mind you I loved him dearly and was able to have a very loving relationship. We had 3 daughters and then he too passed away and I was on my own again. Now I am so practiced at not being close to anyone that it frightens me that I do not know what to do to have intimacy in my life again.

Hi its been awhile since I've been on here and had been doing very well. For some reason the past 2 weeks I can't seem to get my ex out of my thoughts. I don't want to get back together with him because he isn't the right man for me but for some reason the things he did and said are bringing me down. I hate how it is affecting my day.

hi allI am new here, and I am hoping to find support and friends who feel the way I do sometimes. Its a tough thing sometimes to overcome jealousy and self doubt but we all need to keep telling ourselves that we are worth it and we deserve to be happy!

This message is for Liz from Scotland. Hi Liz! Yes it's amazing how some people we know can have such an effect on us. Your nerves must be about to break. It appears to me that everything is the same for you in your world except now that your husband has resigned the boundaries have moved and he expects alot more from you than he previously did! Make sure you keep up your work because it is something that is yours and you do not have to share it with him. Have you thought about doing something after work instead of going home to a person that feels so out of control because he hasn't got a job to go to anymore? The way that he handles that is to take control where he can and at the moment it appears to be projected towards you and the food you will prepare for the both of you! As for the porn, well some guys just seem to believe they need to watch that type of stuff! He appears to be extremely bored without his work and he may need to find something to do that will keep him busy and interested. When you tells you what food you will be cooking for him show him a plan that you have drawn up that suits the both of you for eating in the evening. It could be that one night a week you both get dressed up and go out somewhere, even if it's just the local hotel for a meal. One other night the plan could be that you both cook together and one night you could have a meal in front of the tv.

Feel I am having my self confidence eroded day by day since my husband retired!!!!. I work in the mornings and he has just switched off since he retired. He expects a cooked from scratch meal 7 days a week after a cooked lunch. Have found out he is spending most of the mornings looking at porn sites on my computer. I cannot face the confrontation that would happen if I bring it up, I know I am being a coward.
Family are supposed to be coming to stay this weekend and he insists on choosing all the food, telling me how it should be cooked and generally treating me like a housekeeper in front of them.
Sorry to moan but at least I feel better for having told someone.
