I cant sleep. ever. i have a lot of stress
in my life, and i know this could be a
cause of me not sleeping. But there are
some things in my life i cant control.
which i stay up all night worrying about.
My husband in the in army and is deployed
AGAIN.. this is his 3rd 12 month tour to
Iraq. He left last august and wont be home
until dec of this year. im not working. i
stay at home and think about me all the
time. we fight a lot. which just makes
things even harder on me and HIM.
He doesnt allow me to have any friends,
besides my family. So i have no one to
talk to. which makes things extremely hard
on me, because i cant talk to anyone about
what im going through. And i dont talk to
my family cause I dont want them to hate
my husband.
I have stressed myself out to the point
where i am sick, and have been for the
past 3 months. My Dr. doesnt know what is
wrong with me, which also worries me. I
dont eat, I dont sleep.
I used to be so happy, so full of life.
and I dont know what happened to me.
I went to my Doctor. I know Im either on
the verge of being depressed of i AM. and
the first perscription she gave me wasn't
working out for me.. side effects... so i
went back. and she changed it to a
Seroquel... which she said was for
bi-ploar and schizophrenia. she said "I
know you are neither Bi-polar nor do you
have schizophrenia, but we are going to
put you on this" I was taking it for about
5 days.. but everytime i take it it makes
my muscles SPAZ out, and it makes me PASS
OUT for more than 15 hours at a time! So I
said screw that and stopped taking it.
I want to get my life back... i want to be
happy again, and enjoy my life like i used
too.
Im not sure how to get out of this "rut"
Im stuck in and have been for so long
now..
any advice?

Ok, well first thing there wouldn't be
quite so much wrong with you if your
life's situation was different, so be
assured that you can do something more
about it then take a pill. Pills help
more for people who do actually have a
brain imbalance and sometimes helps
anxiety from life situations, but of
course, you can't fix your life with a
pill.
Good grief sister! I know it's a really
great thing to have a husband deployed and
it's very honorable, but he's got to give
you a little breathing room. This is what
I would call an abusive relationship:
because he has no idea how terrible it is
to be completely alone, no friends, no
work, nothing to do. No wonder you are
depressed!
Don't tell me he doesn't have any friends
at home or in the military....you are
perfectly entitled to having some
girlfriends to hang out with no matter
what he says. I don't understand that at
all! When he is at home, fine, he can
have your attention, but when he is
away....take some time for yourself and
chat with some friends. Get out and go
shopping, window shopping if you can't
afford it.
Live your life. He can't stop you from
living it just because he is married to
you and he isn't even there. Stand up for
yourself and don't back down. Let me know
how it goes.
