I keep thinking about calling the doctors tomorrow to make an appointment, but every time I think about it I get this slight rush of anxiety, I get really hot and sweaty, and then I start over-thinking things. But I'm determined to make an appointment. Even if there's nothing wrong with me, I need to at least clarify it, right?
Oh, I don't know.

Hi RS.....I know it can be a difficult step to take, and anxiety is hard to deal with, but maybe if you can just try and take it one tiny step at a time, keeping in mind that maybe some of what you're dealing with could possibly get better. At least by seeing a doctor you would be opening the door to the potential for better times, and you deserve to feel better. And if you're not ready to open that door now, then maybe later. Best of luck to you.....

I know for me, I get really anxious if I have to make phone calls. I made my appointment in person. I wonder if they'd accept an e-mail, or if you're like me and don't mind (as much) going in person, if you could do it that way.

If you have to call, maybe write down what you have to say? Sometimes when I'm anxious (or not), I forget what I'm saying, or forget to ask or say something I meant to.

If setting an appointment is making you anxious, that in itself might be a good reason to go. And going doesn't mean there's something wrong with you. You want to ask an expert about how you're feeling, that's all.

Feeling extremely anxious this morning. I have been off work for little over a week, and I haven't talked to anyone since (my H called my supervisor and told her that I wouldn't be in for a couple weeks due to a medical emergency, but left out it was due to a sui attempt). I have to call my supervisor today and let her know that I will be returning to work next Monday. I am nervous about making the call and about having to go back. I am worried about what questions coworkers are going to ask me. I am so anxious and depressed about it that I am having sui thoughts again this morning. I am sure it won't be as bad as I am imagining, but I am still extremely anxious...

Hi Agma,
I'm sorry you’re feeling so anxious I wish I could take away your pain and anxiety. I hope that your call to your Supervisor goes well. I'm sure it won’t be as bad as you think. Legally you don't have to say anything. If he/she tries to get more information just say that it's personal. Or you can always make something up but I know that can be more difficult than it seems. If you need to talk I'm here.

Anxiety......bad thoughts and feelings.....frustration.....depression......tears

It's none of their business why you were out. It's as simple as that. Just let them know you had some health issues and your glad to be back. Take control of that situation now and don't let it control you. If anyone wants more info, tell them that it is private. That includes your boss. You are not required to tell them why you were ill, HR handles that. They can't tell your boss either.

Feeling okay. Still need to minimize time on computer due to it makes my neck very sore. Been riding my bike in the cool of the morning to strengthen my back, which is making me feel better. Been keeping up with housework. Even doing more cooking from scratch. I feel encouraged.

I'm feeling like sugar honey iced tea... I have not been feeling well these last few weeks. Much of it has been due to stress. Five new people in my house and they ate up everything, ran up the bills and broke stuff. Now they are gone but I'm not feeling better. My dumb @ss job isn't helping either. They just told us that we have to take orders for the sales team. We are tech support not sales. To make it worse, I have 9 hours of training to do just so that I can do the sales teams jobs for 10 days. I'm already underpaid and they added 4 new devices to our list of devices we cover and now this. Time to leave I think. Yup, that sounds good now that I said it.

I have this feeling that I just need to be alone, period. I have no privacy with two kids and a wife. I can't do anything without someone asking me what I'm doing. Gonna put a stop to that. I need a break but they never seem to help me. I'm tired, just tired........

[krissy702001]

Feeling sad and unmotivated. All I want to do is sleep all of the time and lay on this couch.

Welcome. I hope you start feeling better.

I am having a hard time in the partial hospital, they really do need to separate the groups into those who have the ability to sit though a group and focus on a topic and put those who have a hard time with that in a group together so they can focus sole on their needs and keep better track of them. It does no favors for anyone to have both groups mixed. Today one of those that is reality challenged left the room and the building and as of the end of the day had not been found. In the first group one went on and on about something that did not exist at all, while another member was trying to process a hard memory. One of them took my water bottle of of the frig took off all the tape I had around the handle, drinking area and other places with my name! She also drank all the salad dressing with someone else's name on it-yeah drank it. Third group was canceled as someone put out a none existent fire with the chemical extinguisher right out side the door of the group room. By 1pm I could take no more and went down to the lobby to read and wait out the end and the director had a fit because the interpretors were not doing anything. I do have the right to a time out from the craziness, just as the hearing do. While shes busy having a fit about that several of the reality challenged folks left the building(no one is suposed to leave the building during groups) including the one who didn't come back. This is supposed to be a step down from a hospital, they tell us that it means we need supervision? What supervision?

After a week and a half they have gotten no where with my insurance company and finding me a Pdoc. They only helped with the food stamp mix up today because I went down and insisted on action. It's only Tuesday! 3 more days of this?

Just when I finally thought I had found a way to cope with my guilt, it all came crashing back down. I don't have insurance but even if I did I don't think therapy would be able to help me. I have tried several Ts in the past and they did not help me at all. I wish I could change the past but I can't. I feel so depressed.

TerryL.....I'm so sorry you're feeling that hopeless. I pray that some how, some way, a bit of comfort comes to you as soon as possible ~whimsy

Oh sidestepper I'm so sorry you're having to deal with all this stupidness (don't know if that's really a word, but maybe I just feel like it should be). I will be counting down the days with you, and sending prayers in the meantime ~whimsy
