Feel so overwhelmed by my life?!
Question: Feel so overwhelmed by my life.?
Is is normal to feel so overwhelmed by one's life.? I feel this almost all of the time. I am newly married, with a busy job, and living in a strange place. I've been here for about six months, and I still feel just as overwhelmed as I did at the beginning.
I feel overwhelmed all the time, thinking of all the things I should be doing. I feel overwhelmed at missing my family, and at being used to being married.
I was single for a long time, and I feel overwhelmed at my husband, who is so different than me.
I don't think it is normal, but I don't know what to do. I am so tired of whining.Health Question & Answer

Sweetie, is it possible that you may have a touch of depression.? I saw your other question and you reminded me of me in the same situation. And I was depressed. It may be just a seasonal depression or it may be something deeper. Either way, it doesn't hurt to get some help for it. Even if it's just having a friend to talk to about it. Getting out a little, just taking a walk and getting some fresh air. If it's dark in your house, you can open the shades to let in more light or turn on more lights. Lack of light does have an effect on our moods.
And maybe you can plan a trip to visit your family. Depending on the distance and cost of course. Even if it's a major operation and you have to wait a bit, just knowing you're going to see them may lift your spirit.
It sounds like you are still adjusting to your husband. Don't feel bad, I've been married to mine for eleven years and I still find myself adjusting to him. It's part of being a couple. And it's worth it to have someone there for you.
I hope this helped. Cheer up, you're going to get through this. I just know you can. ;)Health Question & Answer

Honey, some of this is quite normal, new, new, new. Where am I, who am I, what am I doing.
Talk to your hubby, you can't always "do it yourself." Sometimes we need help, you can't just "snap out of it."
Just make sure you get good help.
God bless you.

Sweetheart, You are overwhelmed with being overwhelmed ... lol I'm sorry, I didn't mean to make light of your situation. But you need to see some humor in everything or you'll lose your mind.
You are probably young, moved to a new city because of your husband's work, you don't know anyone to be close to yet, you miss your family (especially your mom), your job is a pressure cooker, the marriage scenario is like horrifying with all the newness and realities of life, and to top it all off ... your husband is from Mars and you are from Venus. How did I do.?
It's all normal. Believe me you will adjust or you'll throw in the towel. I hope you will learn to cope with it. You have so many new variables to adjust to that it will take time. But don't give up. Long marriages come from sticktoitness. Each morning when you wake up, just say to the Lord, "I can't do this by myself, I need your help." He is always there and listening and if you know Him personally ... He will help you.
May I offer some advice.? Get to know your neighbors so you can say good morning or Hello to them, get to know your fellow employees and go to lunch with them, go to church and make friends there, do things you enjoy doing apart from your husband and give him the same privilege. Marriage is a union but you're not joined at the hips. Your husband will love you more if you are a person in your own rights ... you'll bring new and interesting things to talk about and do together. Viva the difference it makes for a happier marriage.
Now stop feeling sorry for yourself and get out and do things!
