Do you 'enjoy' spending time with your kids?
- Yes, most of the time we really have fun together
- Sometimes it's fun, sometimes it's really dull and aggravating
- Honestly most of the time it's not fun at all, but it's not supposed to be fun
- I really don't enjoy it at all, and wish I could spend less time with them

honestly I think most therapists have more issues than I do. I just have to get though this time and I have no one to talk to since most of my friends are also friends of Dh and I don'twant to air our dirty laundry so to speak.

[ Reply | More ]I don't like my therapist on a personal level, but he gives good advice. I don't think it's about "who has more issues" in their personal life, it's about getting good advice that helps you.

THERAPY! THERAPY! THERAPY! But if you're not into therapy, get some anti-depressants to take the edge off and get to changing your life. Most people know the changes they have to make, even without therapy, but most people don't want to have to do the heavy lifting to make change.
[ Reply | More ]focus on the things that you have going for you and you do have a lot and then realize that some things are not going to change and that many people have the same or different types of stresses. if you could change something, like shaving off some lifestyle expenses, that would be a good place to start. will that ease the stress of you and dh? maybe, maybe not. but it couldn't hurt.
