You poor thing. I wish I could think what to say to help beyond platitudes. What has helped me at bad times is telling myself that I really won't always feel like this. The saying 'this too shall pass' is true! I'm sure others will be along with more helpful responses. Good luck

Hi everyone

Some may have read my post after my husband died recently

I'm looking for some help today because instead of getting better I seem to be getting worse

I am eating much too much I am not going out because I am working from home and I don't see anyone from one week to the next

I do have two children but they get on with their life and don't really see much of them, so I feel that I have lost everything and have no actual family because I don't see them they don't make any effort to visit me orr call me to see how their Mum is coping with loosing dad and how she coping with living alone

I have resorted to airing my problems because when I woke this morning the feeling of despair was all consuming

I have to face a days work dealing with awful rude people and to be honest I realllly don't know what I'm going to do about any of this

I'm sorry to burden you I don't mean to burden anyone

I'm just hoping that someone will say something that will help me to stop feeling so full of despair
