hi, i am currently dealing with insecurity and anxiety about my open marriage. we have recently began couples' counseling while my wife decides if she wants to stay together. For the most part we have a good relationship. And I don't really have a problem with her seeing people. Jealousy pops up from time to time, but over the last (almost) two years i have gotten a bit better at managing it. My issues are with attachment, codependency, and boundaries. Which i have begun working on. Lots and lots of reading. On a day to day basis my real struggle is feeling like the relationship is not fully being supported. She will ignore most of my messages. Conversations, or intimate times or typically initiated by me. She will even go days without even saying i love you, even in response. she spends a lot of time online with friends and suitors, which is fine, if our relationship was getting similar care. i have asked what she wants our marriage to look like in this new landscape of polyamory, since relationship styles can vary wildly, but she says she doesn't know, and it makes it difficult to get my bearings sometimes. i can accept almost anything, as long as i know what it is and what the parameters are. like i said, mostly a good relationship, we just have a lot of bugs to work out, and i have to find my inner security since i don't know if i'm going to find that anywhere else. there is probably way more to this, but this is the gist of it.

Hi, I am Dorothy.

Although I have not confirmed it, I feel like I get social anxiety. That makes it hard for me to meet friends because I feel anxious and overwhelmed whenever I share a normal conversation with someone.

I always overthinks everything. My mind is filled up with ' What ifs'. I just keep on replaying every conversation and thinking of the worst case. What if my friend actually hates me? What if she thinks I am weird?

I often feel left out. Seeing me two friends hanging out without me, I feel anxious and depressed. I feel like I cannot really maintain a friendship.

That's why I come here to seek help. I do hope I will run into some really compassionate listeners who will help me out. I am really glad to find this site, and I do hope I can actually meet some new friends, thank you for reading all this.

Hello, I’ve been pretty well off for some years but it seems like my depression is coming back with certain relationships I tend to get in, I hope to find the path to happiness in this group

hello, joined march 25th. had some shoulder surgerys march 1st on my dominant arm so am typing with only the left hand. it is labourious and awkward to say the least. my right arm is immobolized and will be for at least 3 more weeks.

since having surgery i have realized just how isolated i am, can not drive, my son is doing his best to help me and my husband has basicly ghosted me. my marriage is a sick joke and i am stranded out in the boonies with my autistic son. he can help with a lot of things in the house but, not everything, and he doesnt drive.

i have one dear friend who took me for my surgery after i realized my husband would be too drunk to rely on. she can help me once a week to get groceries as she lives an hour away and works full time.

have been slowly losing mymind since the surgery and my loss of driving. i dont want to get swallowed up in the chasm of despair i am circling around if only because of my son.

okay, im hurting now, this took so long to type and my wrist is achy!
