[QUOTE="End of our rope, post: 632905, member: 17544"] Well ballet is out of the question but the pillow pounding is more my speed. My therapy for the last few years has been the restoration of antique automobiles. 80 years old and older. I don't even want to get out there and work on any of my current projects. Maybe in time I will but today, now, I don't even have the desire. It is all consuming for me right now. The meeting last night was encouraging and disappointing all at the same time. Of a group of 16 only one other couple was our age and everyone else was 10-20 years older and still going through this hell. I cannot fathom still posting here in 10 years. RE is only going to answer my posts for so long before she gets tired of me.:) RE you describe me too well. Through force of will I have as you described I have pushed my way from the farm to the boardroom. I have tried to use the same approach with this problem and have failed miserably. This overwhelming sense of failure, this overwhelming sense of doom and the uncertainty of tomorrow are consuming me. I am trying hard to put them aside but they return like waves. I am wearing my wife out with this. She is not the talker who needs to verbalize her problems. This board is today my only support. I am looking for another meeting later this week. It did at least help to hear others with the same issues. [/QUOTE]
