I've discused this with the wife this morning . I told her everything , all my fears , what it does to me inside my head , the fact that I'm slowly closing myself in and don't know how to fix it , she kind of understands due to her having the same issues , but , she is able to fight it .. what I would really like is her help ... she's going through the same thing , we should be here helping eachother , but how ? what kind of support can you give a person with this disorder ? but instead were pushing eachother away .. or I should say .. I am pushing her away ..
also found out that my mother suffers the same thing .. you would have never known it , she's always social and seems comfortable at work , it's when she's at home , she will shut herself in her room with a few movies , and she was perfectly happy doing so , she allways seems happy , but she said it's getting worse , and I feel mine getting worse , could this be genetics maybe ? or is it caused by trauma ?
I need to fix this or she will leave , I have no doubts about that , I need to stop myself from falling back into the routine of what I thought was normal life , or I'm gona lose everything I have , and more ..
so , as soon as I finally , ( after 9 years ) get my health card ( we need one for any medical attention ) I'll be speaking with a doctor , once I find one .
lovemywife ~ Very often there are free talk groups in all areas of the country. I'd search like heck in your area. You need to solve this issue or get it moving forward then start to tackle other issues. You'll be in a group of peers that have went through the same thing as you. Don't wait just because of insurance, get all the free help you can now. Find the places you need to go now. Don't put it off, because if you don't start to change your ways now then later might be something else coming up and the wife will only see you always saying you'll do it later when x happens. Do everything you can now. Let her see you are trying to fix things.
agreed , it's a very easy rut to fall back into , hell I do it without even noticing .
I have taking some steps to force myself to " be there " more
uninstaled and deleted every game I have and started getting in the habit of cleaning at certain times of the day to keep myself from boredom while she works .
I just recieved 3 raises from my boss tonight .. yep .. 3
so that should give me a bit of a boost for change aswell .
as for the group thing ( hee hee ) .. I live in a very small town in the country with no transportation , basicaly a tourist attraction , so group settings don't take place here unless a bunch of rednecks ( no offence ) are throwing a party
but I will be talking to a doctor for sure , just gotta wait awhile for my health card ( bout a week )
getting along just fine , she's a complete sweetheart untill she gets pissed ..lol
but that doesnt last very long , there's always that slow akward feeling of getting back to normal behavour where you don't know if she's ready for a kiss without chewin off your face first , but it don't last long
