[QUOTE="Hurt and sad, post: 703775, member: 21108"] Wow! Thank you everyone for your advise and suggestions. I've thought about going to a counselor but it takes 3 months to even get an appointment and its discouraging to have to wait so long. I do agree with you all. I need help and I need to learn coping skills. Until I read all your comments I guess I never realized I needed help for me. I was trying to go to counseling just to talk to someone and seek advice. It never crossed my mind that I need to forgive myself. I carry that burden and I almost feel like I deserve it. I know through writing you don't really know me but I am a good person. I wasn't raised by my mother and I always wanted to be a mom and I imagined having just a wonderful life with them. I have so much love in my heart and a lot of pain too. Something else that all of your responses made me realize. The comment about being in an airplane and giving yourself oxygen before you give it to someone else is an incredible statement and really made me think WOW what a great way to look at things. You are all right! I need to fix myself before I can even think of repairing other things in my life. I cannot thank you all enough. Your words really clicked a light on for me. Tomorrow I am going to look for support groups in my area. Maybe I could get involved with something like that while waiting for a psychologist appointment. Thank you all from the bottom of my heart. This is such an amazing place. I'm glad I found you all! [/QUOTE]
