Allie,
I am SO sorry to hear you are not doing ok right now. I wish there was something I could do. Please know we are all here for you, if for nothing else, but to listen, when you vent, and to help hold you up if you need us.

Keep close, keep posting

love and hugs,
K

Allie,

Sending you hugs, too. :l:l

I recognize that life situations can make you angry and have you really down but it sounds like the effect is more than normal.

I really would go to the doctor and talk. It is hard to get out of that "place" once you are in there. It feeds on itself. I know. Been there done that.

No matter what, though, you know we are all here and will do anything we can to help.

Love,
Cindi

I have just spent the best part of 4 days killing myself with wine. Can't remember how much, but my girlfriend informed me that she counted 8 bottles in the bin. I am alone alot of the time, and when I binge I cut everyone out. Today I feel like a selfish loser. But you are not alone. Together we must do this.

Hi honey I just saw this and hope you feel a little better.

I am here for you, and you are so strong most of the time so don't be so hard on yourself.

Oh and breaking stuff helps only if it is not your phone you need that silly!!!!!!!

thanks --

I have Antabuse, but I think I still have too much wine in my system to take one yet. I have been doing quite well and took that for granted. I can be doing fine and then I get some "news" or something painful happens that completely derails me. Its those time that I cannot trust myself.

cymru -- I'm sorry you are struggling as well. Maybe you can go cook something for us to eat? I cannot seem to eat at all today.

CS -- i will call you later, I swear you dont want to talk to me right now!

Hi Prest for time

I have really been in the mindset of just accepting what emotions are there and find it helps. You said you rarely get this angry. So it's a passing thing. It will go away if you just accept it and leave it alone. Try to be patient and kind to yourself. Treat yourself like a moody adolescent if you want. I am sure that there are good reasons for you to be angry. You made a mistake by using wine to deal with it, but this time, today you won't do that.

Another thing I find that helps is watching a movie about someone in a similar situation, something with a good ending. Or you can listen to some music or exercise. don't drive the feelings away, just try to soothe yourself until they go away on their own.

As for your husband, sounds like a frustrating situation. I agree that a follow-up email is called for.

Hope you feel better,
Nancy

Sammys -- we were posting at the same time... thanks! I've lived without a cell phone for years, so what the heck. What I really want to break is my computer, but the problem is I NEED it.

Nancy,
your advice is spot on as always. I have sent my husband a follow up email about four hours ago and have not heard back from him. I am choosing to believe it is due to the time difference; he is 12 hours ahead of me, so instead of 12 noon its midnight in Shanghai. Hopefully he is asleep. I like your idea of treating myself like a moody teenager. Anger is not an emotion I experience to much... I like to think of myself as a pretty soft spoken and gentle person. I dont know who I am today.

Hi Prest, I know those dark feelings are the worst. They do pass and I am hoping yours pass quickly

Allie,
It's OK if you're crying and upset. I sure have cried on your shoulder. I know how frustrating it is to feel disconnected and incommunicado from hubby. You're right, the time diff is probably the culprit at this hour.

I didn't do real well last night either, and have been quite moody the past couple of weeks.

I think I am going to make a big pot of chili today, so I will send some your way -- comfort food!

xoxo and talk later.

I been told Allie alcahol has to be out of your system for at least 7 days....Even the alchol in deoderants and mouthwash are enough to set off a violent reaction..Be careful:l
