Suicidal Feelings

My husband does so much for me, he's not a nasty person,I think I've just pushed him to the edge too, we lost one of our cats in July and I've been so sad about it, I've really struggled, I'm menopausal, my health issues are worse and my pain is awful.

he thinks I'm not trying, that I put no effort into anything, when honestly it's an effort to just get through every day...he thinks me saying I can't do something is an excuse. But I don't want to speak badly of him, I've loved that man for 33 years and we've been through so much together...I just want to stop feeling so useless and sad all the time.

That's a lot to deal with @Clare75. As you say, perhaps your husband is just feeling the strain of it all. That doesn't mean what he said wasn't hurtful, but it sounds like you're both struggling with how things are despite how much you love each other.

So sorry to hear you lost another of your cats. Some other members were just chatting about how difficult it is over in our Pets Corner chat. It's so heartbreaking and if you're facing other things at the same time it can hit you even harder.

Hopefully you can get through to your GP and they can start putting some things in place to help. Do they help with your pain levels too? If you're struggling perhaps they can refer you on somewhere to help you feel more comfortable. Fingers crossed you get through tomorrow morning.
