I have been to about 10 therapists, none of them have been able to help me figure out what my issues are. My husband has tried and I do talk to him about a lot of things and we have worked out or identified some of my issues together but he is growing tired of the fact that I'm not changing. I just keep falling back into my depression and self esteem. A lot of it seems to be situational. If our financial problems creep up, it increases my depression, it incites panic in me because things are not going as they should and if I have made a mistake, I am afraid to tell him, I end up keeping bad news from him by lying and then I try to fix the problem myself, so I am a ball of stress and it does not help me feel better about myself. I work a lot, (right now I'm the only one working) so we don't get a lot of time, we only have the weekends but that is also time for us to be with the kids. I just dress with what is necessary and don't spend a lot of time getting ready. There was a time when I was young that I did love shopping, I loved dressing up but I have just learned to conform. I don't know what it's like to feel special anymore, I don't know how to feel pretty. There is no real relationship time, if we would go on a date, it would be because I have to organize it, get the kids to grandma's plan the date and basically "be the man" in the relationship and that really sucks.
