Dear @Mountaindewed, I am so sad after reading what you said.

God bless your wonderful soul. You don't realize how valuable you are to others, how important you are. Some day I hope you will know.

It would have been nice if my ''mom'' had been able to love me.

It would have been nice if I had not been ''born a worthless piece of shht''....

I am feeling really down and a bit anxious over my latest medical diagnosis (GP confirmed I have arthritis in my knees). This is horrifying to me. I already have so much to overcome---I've made a lot of progress, depression-wise---but this is a wrench thrown right in the middle of everything. I don't know what I have to look forward to, now.

I'm not usually so free in sharing my medical situations. But I am finding that if I do not talk about it, and give the feelings words, I feel far worse about it all.

((((((((***deep sigh***))))))))

@MuseumGhost I am so sorry to hear how challenging a knee problem is. That must be a difficult thing to walk with.

Hoping for a way to cope with that. Thanks for sharing.

I know this is a long time after your post, but I saw it and felt a wave of empathy for you as a parent losing your child. That must be excruciating.

Have you considered professional help to try to get you help to cope with this disruption in your life. @CANDC

I played my game and then did some work. It's been a distraction from the depression I feel. I may journal next.

Actually that isn't true, it was THAT ''family'' who were ''worthless pieces of ****''

Thanks to those who sent hugs

May the Universe reward those who have kind hearts

I wasn't feeling good this morning. I talked with my doctor last night and he told me to go for my blood work early. So I went right before 9 and had no issues at all with anything. I came home and still felt a bit crappy until noon when I ate some chicken noodle soup and drank some Gatorade. I skipped my stomach med today and I know some of the side effects can include agitation and paranoia. My irritation was much better today. So I think I may have found the cause of why I've been so ornery and anxious. I've had a cramp in the left side of my chest all day. It feels like surgery pain but I had the revisons over a year ago. I'm not panicking that its a heart attack I'm just waiting for the blood test results but I know since its the weekend I may not get them until Monday.

Fairly well *praying hands*

I'm going to be honest with my pdoc tommorow and tell him how badly my concentration is. I can't watch TV. I can't read. All I can do is stare at my phone and post on here. I am going to be assertive and say I don't want anything that will make me gain weight. But I don't want a stimulant either thats addictive. I was going to have my mom in on the call with me because she knows how bad it is too. I'm thinking maybe concerta is what I need. But this is really driving me crazy.

Edit: I do feel better now after eating some low cal ice cream. I know my eating habits arent the greatest and I'm not eating a lot of nutrious foods. But I'm working on my eating stuff in therapy with a therapist who actually knows this stuff.

Overall besides not doing anything today I didn't cope all that badly. Hopefully tommorow I can get out for breakfast and then my pdoc can help me out in the afternoon.

Breaking Dawn · Jul 17, 2022 at 12:34 PM

I am coping better today. I had a good breakfast this morning, watched some tv, & I've been reading & posting here. I hope I have more energy soon so I can get some things done, & maybe feel less sad.

Glad you're feeling a bit better. I hope you have a good pdoc appt tomorrow, MD. You got this!

WovenGalaxy · Jul 17, 2022 at 08:14 PM

I'm doing okay. I've been having headaches for the past 2 days straight. I've been taking ibuprofen, but after about 4-6 hours, I need more. It might be tension, since when I massage my scalp, neck and face, I feel better. I had a pretty good weekend with my boyfriend though.

This week, I'm going to finish at least one more peer specialist class before the break. I'm also going to look for a job, since I'm probably not going to school at this time. I feel weird saying that. It's going to be hard to contact them and withdraw. I feel disappointed. But it's probably the best decision for me at this time.

Mountaindewed · Jul 18, 2022 at 04:04 PM

I was honest with my pdoc. It didn't quite work out for me. 2.5 years ago I'd be all upset that I got yelled at. Now I have tougher skin and wallowed for an hour and am now just brushing it off. I still had anxiety most of the day and I managed a trip to Target but I had a lot of anxiety but I got what I needed and at least I got out of the house which I always count as a win when I can make it into a store.
