Hello lovely people...Oh my goodness how much to share, but all is not important. I'm 53yrs, Mother of 4 beautiful girls. Twice married with our 4 th daughter.

My go to, my friend, my constant, my destroyer....how does something become so magnified, so raw, so SHIT!

Hearing you @MJane69 ,
Welcome to the forums! I'm sorry things have been so tough lately.
Do you have any supports in place that you find helpful? (whether professional supports or friends/family)?
You don't need to do this on your own.
I hope you will be able to connect with others on the forums.

Good question @MJane69
But you are here.
Hello to you! Are you drinking tonight?
I've been planning to for two days now, but haven't...
I'm kinda new here, but i think these forums kinda help.

Good on you for reaching out @MJane69 . It certainly does take strength to do so.
I'm glad to hear you have an appointment with the GP tomorrow. That's the start.

Kyle, what about you. It's frightening being in this situation. How are you coping?
