Hey Tx!

I can relate to how your feeling guilty and like a wuss, especially after reading other posts from those who've been in worse situations and experienced really bad things.

I've been a head case ever since a stupid car accident (other driver's fault, by the way). And, I too, often feel like I don't have the "right" to complain and whine about it.

However, whatever the cause or reason, we're all in the same boat or similar situation. We all have stuff on our plate that just sucks...some just have a larger or more distasteful serving on their plate, but it's all the same, in a way. It all leaves a bad taste. And it still hurts, is confusing and painful.

In comparison to many of the others on this site, my problems don't seem so bad. On the other hand, it really is nice and very relieving to know you have the support and empathy of others and to know your not alone.

Also, you really should shop around for a doctor. I don't have insurance either. And, I don't make much money. I only have to pay $25 a visit to my doctor's office...and that's without having kids to worry about. You should be able to find a doctor who offers a sliding scale payment system. They base your fee on your previous pay stubs....just a thought.
