I have been having some problems recently and i have tried talking to various members of my family and friends and all make excuses why they cannot listen and everything is getting to much to handle and i feel like i am about to fall over the edge.

Have you considered speaking to your GP and trying to get referred to a counsellor? It might be useful to speak to someone outside the family / friends who don't pre-judge your situation or your feelings.

I have no ideal what a GP is or how 2 people here would come up with this. But no one wants to hear you out. I am number three persons that would gladly hear you out and give you good or bad advice. So give it a try. Sometime strangers are better than people that know you anyway. We are totally unbiased. So don't fall off any edge try posting here and see what happens. You never know. There are people here that may be able to help or others who may push you over the edge. Good Luck

This happens to more people than you think. People are flaky and they are not available when you need them the most. Even if you have been there for them in the past, you will find that they are not there for you in the same way. The older I get, the more I learn not to invest too much in other people, except for my husband and mother. I don't go all out for friends anymore and I don't do anything that will leave me expecting a favor in return. I've been down and out plenty of times and the only people who have been there for me are my husband and mother so the hell with everyone else. I do what I can when I can and that's that. I'm sorry if you don't have someone to help you out in this rough patch in your life. I feel for you.

Ascendent2, you are a dozy cow! A GP stands for a General Practitioner, i.e. a friggin DOCTOR! The one thing you got right is the bit about "I don't have an idea". Too true. In future don't pass judgement then if you have NO IDEA, otherwise you may come across seeming rather moronic.

I am going to tell you all that I know.
I lost everything. I signed my estate in Texas over to my mother in 1978 because she said that she would take care of it for me and deed it back to me if I ever needed it. I believed her. My father had left me about $700K worth of land. At that time I was making about $80K a year and did not need the money. I was not interested in ranching. I was art director of Neiman Marcus.
My mother lied to me. In 1989, the real estate market fell apart in Dallas, Texas, and I lost everything. I went to my mother and asked for my estate. She said that she had changed her mind, and that I could not have it. She ended up giving it to my brother and my sister. I was left with nothing.
I learned something. Do not trust other members of your family. You can only trust yourself and God. A wonderful male Friend of mine recently said to me, when I was very depressed, "Constance, I am going to tell you all that I know...It is about raw survival." This man has been wonderful to me. He was the first person I had ever talked to, who told
me the truth about life on this planet.
Do not fall over the edge. Simply realize that your strength is within you...period.

I'm sorry that life is sometimes like that. Keep in mind that it's just a temporary time.
I can e-mail you if it would help. I am a mom and I care.

Seek help starting with your Gp. Friends may be too close to you to tell you what they are seeing.

sometimes you can't rely on anyone but yourself. I will listen and help as much as I can.
