I posted a few weeks ago and have been lurking and reading posts etc. I want to thank everyone who answered my original post. I have found the coping skills below very helpful and interresting.
At this time I am doing very well with just a little depression. Being out of control is my biggest cause of anxiety so decided to put my foot down with dh. If he doesn't want to be supportive thats fine but hes not going to interfere in my business either. I recieved my share of a nice check from an ins policy my mom had that didn't have to go into the estate. I decided what I was going to do with it and dh didn't say a word. I now have a beautiful new entertainment center, paint for my living room and drapes!! I spent every penny. I know it won't be as easy when I get the big check but I feel stronger having done this.
I really have little or no support system at all anymore so need to build one. My long time Pastor resigned a year ago, my Christian counselor retired, the 2 best friends I had died within the last year both died young. One with cancer, the other had an anurysim. That was pretty much my support system. I keep praying for a new friend that I can talk to like the 2 who died. I'm glad I've come to this board. you all seem to be so supportive of each other and I need that right now. I also hope to be of help to others. Grace
