Hi

Welcome to HW. You have found the right place. You would find lot of support on this forum. I am sorry to hear about what you have been going through. Could you please give some details, as to why they have stopped talking to you.

You must break the ice and start a dialogue with your family. You will have to come out of your shell and lead a normal life.

Good Morning and welcome to HealingWell.  I am sorry you are having problems with your family. If you would like to share a bit more information we may be able to provide you with better advice.

Every family goes through tough times and challenging issues- it's part of what being a family means. Family members are often the people that can forgive you when no one else will. Mendings rifts aren't easy, but with a sincere desire and effort to make things right, fixing family rifts is possible.

Again a warm welcome,

Kitt

its been a diffcult time, i've been finding it hard to deal with.... my famliy married me when i was 20. Since thAT time i have found it diffcult . I tryed really hard to make my marriage work and still have, but they have started to become very distance with me for no reason. I have tryed talking to them and even tryed calling many times, but they refuse to commucaite. Gettting married at 20, was the hardest thing i did, but i listened to them because i trusted them to do the right thing and...to please them....now i find myself totally alone in this....my husband does'nt understand at all...

This is affecting my work, home,life...  i feel not getting up in the mornings... i know its sad...

I know there r worst things in life.....that r effecting ppl around that world and i'm thinking whats wrong with me.

hey depressed24,

u are having a hard time, i am sorry that you are depressed, what may help is you and hubby talking things over with a counsellor, what is important is that you are happy, in life, in marriage, in work and in play, if not then u are doing things to appease others, your family, and subsequently they are not communicating, darn unfair in my book, esp as they played a key role in instigating the marriage! sounds like your family want all things rosey, and now that things are different they have somewhat turned there back on you. sorry don't mean to sound mean, i have a similar prob with my family, re major depression, psychosis, many, many hospitalisations, etc. i am the black sheep, not saying you are, but i think you know what i am saying.

sending love and compassion to you, communication is vital, keep posting, we care. healing energy and love to you. jamie, male, 37.

Thank u for ur comments. The last mail, was right about being a black sheep..... always been like that. Always the outsider, making me the different one....if  i could turn back time, i would do things very differently...

 

one thing i have learned is that, never let anyone take control of ur live.... espeaclly parents....

 

its gonna take time..... i have to think postive,to go on in life...otherwise this will kill me.

 

thank u all...love u.

We are glad that you are thinking positive right now. Continue that. Maybe you aren't necessarily the black sheep. Maybe you are just unique. Try to think of it that way. It may make you happier. We are all unique in our own way and that is good.

Keep posting and let us know how you are doing.

Hugs, Karen

Have you ever tried meditation? It really helps to free the mind, you can learn to not be thinking of anything. Just blank. It is good therapy. Makes you feel serrine and peaceful.

The first think you want to do is get in a comfortable position. Then you focus on relaxing your muscles from head to toe. Completely relax. Think of every muscle in your body as you go down. You will feel the tense energy coming out of your legs and the bottom of your feet.

Then once you do that. You pick a meaningless word. I chose umnellyom. As long as the word doesn't mean anything and you want it to be four syllables long. Take ten deep breaths. In through the nose and out through the mouth. Then breathe slowly though your nose, but you can have your mouth open as it will most likely be from relaxing your jaw.

With the four syllable word, breath in on one syllable and out on another. In on the next and out on the other. Keep doing that over and over and really focus on your word and breathing. soon your mind will go blank. And you will feel totally relaxed. It takes a lot of practice. But when you practice, you are actually meditating. So it is easy to learn to do.

I hope that this helps you some. If you have anymore questions about meditation, just ask. You can also look it up on the internet and I am sure that there is some information there that will help you. This is good especially if you don't want to take medications. Eventually you will be able to do it in a short period of time. But for now, I would try sitting for at least twenty minutes.

Best wishes to you.

Hugs, Karen

I am happy that you feel that this will help you. And like I said, even if you are just practicing it, you are doing it.

Best wishes to you. I hope that you enjoy the meditation.

Hugs, Karen
