I need help clearing my mind!?

Fellow webber's, I need help. I'm tired of feeling depress and having anxiety over my wife's love toward me. I need professional helps. I need my sanity back!!!! I can be happy and logical for one minute and sad and irrational the next. I turn to the web for un-bias feedbacks. It help but it's not sinking in. Any recommendations? I don't abuse drug, alcohol. I don't have much friends to turn to. I felt like a sad case with no where to turn to. TIA for entertaining my thoughts...

    Have you ever thought that you may suffer from "manic-depression"? Many men do.

    It is easily treated with medication and can help you get over a "hump" in your life.

    Also, it depends on your age.....are you having a mid-life crisis? Is this your second or third marriage? Have you been extremely devastated by a love in the past and worry that your marriage will not work out? Are you overwhelmed with work, financial difficulties, and/or disappointments?

    There are many factors that can cause you to be feeling "wishy-washy" and up and down.

    The chemical "Serotonin", in the brain may be having difficulty in reabsorption and can cause higher levels in the bloodstream which in turn can cause what you are going through.

    Don't be so hard on yourself. Even though you may feel alone, you are not alone. Keep a journal and write down your feelings. You may be able to identify what is triggering this feelings of negativity and despair. That way you can try and overcome it by avoiding what is precipitating the "downs" and confusion in your life.

    I am praying for you.....God bless you and good luck

    As I don't know the source of your anxiety, I really can't hazard a guess as to what would help other than to suggest you see a therapist to help you understand where your insecurity comes from and to help you feel more self-confident. You know, seeing a therapist doesn't make you crazy or weak. It makes you smart in being able to take control of a situation & seek help. Besides, it's also a 50 minute/week investment in yourself & your well being. If you have insurance, chances are it covers seeing a therapist as well. I find that taking a step toward solving a problem is half the battle. Maybe that should be your New Year's resolution. Good luck.

    Does your wife love you? If you're not sure talk to her about it. You could use some counseling to get to the bottom of your problems. If your wife is making you crazy, it's time to figure out why and what your next step is going to be. Since you're not abusing drugs or alcohol, you sound like a good candidate for counseling. Good luck.

    Set out a block of time day-to-day where you don't have got to do whatever. Use that point to do anything amusing or significant; learn, watch a film, play an software, pastime, or paintings on a pastime of yours. Let this be a time where you'll be able to warranty you are going to no longer have got to believe approximately whatever else however having fun with your self.

    The best thing I ever did in my life after my lady left me was become very physically active. I started hiking, then I started cycling, and now I run. I've always been into sports, but having something physical to do nearly EVERYDAY helped reset my mind when it started racing out of control with thoughts of my relationship. I started playing in a Softball league too, and we're trying to get a bowling league together sometime next year. It has been really good to have something to do, and it gets me out of the house, into public and hang out with good friends.

    There must be something that is making you worried about your wife's love for you. Figure out what it is and discuss it with her. Many people have difficulty opening up and talking but that is what you will have to do. No matter what the issue is someone's needs are not being met and you need to communicate with her to find out. She might be feeling miserable too.

    Hun, tell your wife about your feeling, thoughts, just tell her everything. You need to sit down and have a serious talk with her. In my relationship, if we ever feel depressed we always talk it out. We hide nothing about why we are depressed/upset. We break down in front of each other, and even so it makes us stronger. In my opinion you just need to get everything out and tell her what's wrong. When you do you'll feel a weight lifted off your shoulders :D

    Hope I helped Hun! Good luck!

    p.s. I'm glad you don't abuse those things.

    did you ever think for one minute.. maybe it's not you.. maybe it's her?

    if you are depressed over the way your wife loves you

    ... maybe you need more and are not getting your needs fulfilled

    when i get sad and depressed.. i go out walking.. and do alot of thinking

    also if this happens often. you might be bi polar.. try some counseling to see if this helps

    the best way: confront your wife honestly.

    tell her how you've been feeling and tell her about you having "anxiety over your wife's love toward you"...It might be just a misunderstanding. just a nice long chat will fix everything, and i mean "nice chat" not "screaming argument"

    good luck & hope everything works out

    Sounds kinda like you need friends outside of the marrriage. Try joining a city sports league of some sorts.
