Re: Very recently - wife is gay - looking for advice/help
Life is hard isn't it.
Like actually just life is hard without the heartache ontop. Fuel prices rising, energy costs rising, supermarket prices rising, National Insurance soon to rise. At times the overwhelming precarity of living in this modern world just overwhelms me.
And then I finish my unfulfilling job, reheat my frozen leftovers made from whatever meat and veg was in the reduced aisle the week before, and sit on my own.
"Did you hear me? In the loneliness.
Oh the loneliness and the scream
To prove to everyone that I exist."
Quite the cheery post tonight.
But yeah, I am here. I am screaming. And I know that slowly (very slowly) things will move on. To quote yet another cliche it's often impossible to imagine floating gently when you are in the middle of the waves just trying to keep your head above water. But it must be calm out there somewhere.
My job isn't that bad. I have options, I just have to choose them. I have friends and family, and they are there for me. I went to give blood tonight. It felt good to do something helpful.
See, being positive again already. Just popped in to say hi, and I dunno be cathartic and write something.

There is light but there’s a tunnel to crawl through, there is love but its misery loves you.
There’s still hope so I think we’ll be fine, in these disastrous times, disastrous times.

Hi Oilslick - nice to see you back.
yes life is particularly hard at the moment isn't it. Here you can add unprecedented flood event - and it wasn't just the flooding that's been so shocking, the sheer volume of water falling out of the sky felt like being assaulted and we are still wandering around with battered soggy brains.
and then today I figured it was time to update on what is happening in Ukraine. omg it makes me cry.
Screaming is screaming though. That's what I felt like doing during the period of time when I was having to make my ex go through the process of getting divorced. Hope things look up for you soon.
