I am new to this site and have never joined a chat before so please bear with me while I figure out what I am doing!
I am 24 yrs old a female living in MA, US. I am here because I am going through a lot of personal and professional heartache and I can't seem to find ways to cope. Part of my heartache is from loosing a lot of close friends and the trust of other close people in my personal and professional life.
I have had 2 deaths in my family in a 1 month span. One on my birthday and one 2 days before Thanksgiving. I had to drop a friendship with my maid of honor when I discovered that she had been physically abusing her boyfriend.
I also have recently been sexually assaulted by an ex-fiance who used my grandmother's death to re-enter my life. The last time I was this depressed was when I was in high school during my relationship with this individual which was very abusive. 2 days after the assault, I found out that my new husband had been stealing money out of my bank account for his own uses w/o my knowledge. We had only been married 4 months.
To cope with both betrayls I confided in and leaned on a mutual best friend of my husband's, who then confessed his "love" for me and thought that this was an opportunity for him to start a relationship with me. Needless to say I lost that friend as well as the other mutual friends of my husband and I who have taken sides.
You may be wondering how I can be so open about being sexually assaulted on a public forum. Professionally I work as an advocate for domestic violence and sexual assault survivors and have worked in this field at a shelter for 3 years. I specialize in childhood trauma. My work usually is empowering and rewarding. A good place to put life into perspective, but within 2 months of the above mentioned events, I had very damaging (and very false) accusations made against me by a new employee who I had taken under my wing. I still have yet to find the motive for this and am seriously considering filing for Defamation of Character.
I was already in the process of trying to leave this job due to burn out which most people burn out by 6 months but now have no energy to even send out applications. I am starting school in the fall and may not even due that if this funk I am in continues and makes me miss the deadlines. So... yea I have A LOT of stuff going on. I am normally a very pleasant, cheerful person. But I feel like I have been dragged thru glass and I don't have anyone left to lean on. So I find myself here.
Sorry that this is very long. I think I needed to get this out of my system. My next posts I will strive to shorten. Anyone who is still reading this, I thank you for taking the time.

click on the link Mintymint left in that post... then scroll down to where it says "chatroom" then you have to wait for someone with a white or gold icon next to their name to let you in... and you will be given a really stupid name.... but just change it by clicking on your name!

Hi, I'm Cynthia, I'm 27, and I live in Columbia, Maryland...between Baltimore and DC... I'm weird, I'm eccentric, I'm nerdy, geeky, sarcastic, pessimistic, but sometimes I think there isn't a more down-to-earth, clueless girl than me in this world. I have a pretty normal husband who has plenty of friends of his own, and somehow it all just makes me feel that much more alone. I've tried joining depression forums, I just went to some depression meetup group tonight for the first time—made me realize I was a misfit among misfits and thus, felt even more alone. But I can't find a place I feel like I can belong or people I feel like I can talk to. And... I guess that's it.
