I have been through an significant amount of stress amd emotional trama over the past three months. I was not paranoid in the past but I am now. Everything seems out of control. I almost had a meltdown in the hospital for just bladder problems. I do not know what to do. So overwhelmed.

I'm so sorry.....what kind of bladder problems? I get all haywire when my body is out of wack too.....it's very stressful. Be sure to be kind and compassionate towards yourself. (((Hugs)))

Not able to go to bathroom. When they inserted the catheter, I almost had a meltdown. I was overwhelmed. This is kind of like the straw that almost broke the camel's back. I have had much too much in my life recently.

Not being able to use the bathroom and needing a catheter would bring many people down....and on top of all your stress it's just no wonder. You have real, legitimate problems and need to be kind and understanding of this. It will get better in time. I'm so very sorry for what you are experiencing right now. I hope things turn around quickly for you.

Please allow me to whine. I have zero money in the bank at the end of every month and cannot afford what I need. I know there are others here in the same place but this started to happen recently for the first time in my life. I ended up with a DUI even though I took the medication as prescribed after a recent increase in the dosage. I kept blanking out on and off for a long period of time such as before I drove my car and found myself parked at a store. I remember everything when I was conscious. One of the times I blanked out I walked to a store with a neighbor and purchased hotdog. I was talking normally without slurring my speach. I just seemed a bit distracted. I have ever experienced this before. I cannot drive to the grocery store or my doctor appointments. I lost 40 lbs in two weeks over this. My daughter ran away and when caught by the police her mother moved her completely out of my place. I was shocked and terribly sad over this. It feels like that I have lost my daughter. Then there is the passing of my mother a couple months ago. This all happened recently. There is more but I will stop my whining. It is just that my hospital visit was just too much for me. I started yelling at the nurse and began to lose control.

I thought of deleting this post due to all the whining. I am sorry but I needed to get all of this out. I am overwhelmed and have been really paranoid about my situation. It can get worse. Little things can begin to send me over the edge. What will happen next? I am needing to share.

Feel free to share, sounds like you've been through a lot. Sometimes it helps to just get it out, other times you are helping someone else without even knowing it.

You're not whining...You're sharing & we're reading along. "A problem shared is a problem cut in half." I guess some idiot thought that trite saying was brilliant at one time! I hope your health & overall situation improve soon.

Hope you can find some peace brotha we walk through the storm and realize we're in the eye of the storm..

I'm so sorry you're having a rough time. If we can't whine on this forum when we need to then life has no meaning!

You're just getting it out and this is a good supportive place to do that. You've been through a LOT in short order -- no wonder you're feeling overwhelmed!

Good news. A good freind, a brother to me, is giving me some money for groceries every month. If I keep the cost of groceries on the low side, I will have enough money to start paying off my credit card. I will be using the money I have been alloting for food from my disability check. Also my daughter's mother who is from Mexico gave me some good Mexican food today. This will last me a couple days. Finally a bit of good news.
