This is a very good board. You should be proud of yourself. I’m psych-doc free and meds free thanks to boards like this one so full of information as well as support and encouragement. Thanks for allowing me to continue visiting. All the very best to you and yours.
My sleep is never great. Maybe I drink too much coffee. Last night was quite restless but I was overtired since I hadn’t slept the night before. Someone came to my door asking questions and I shouted at them to go away!!! That’s when I knew I had to get some sleep. Otherwise I’m doing okay...
Well I’m divorced from mine after twenty years but I love him and I know for a fact that I wouldn’t be here now if it wasn’t for him. The most memorable thing he did for me while I was struggling was to hand me a small card and written inside were the words “Fight it!”
I’ve been involved in many boards and a few of those discouraged Goodbye threads. I don’t really know why because like the rest of you, I like to hear from people who haven’t been around much and who may have been struggling.
Speaking for myself. I’ve been doing much better and so just pop in...
The lyrics of this song speaks to all the people I love and who love me.
Because You Loved Me
For all those times you stood by me
For all the truth that you made me see
For all the joy you brought to my life
For all the wrong that you made right
For every dream you made come true
For all the...
I don’t know if this would be any use but here goes. No shame whatsoever but the feeling of guilt is huge. The guilt of being the oldest and not being able to do more to help the others. The guilt of what I put my own young family though while I worked out what was going on with me. I refuse to...
Booknerd,
You have certainly had more than your share of pain. I wish I had something positive to tell you but I think you are probably dealing with just about all you can right now. I hope you will keep posting and sharing your thoughts and feeling. All the bad stuff has to go somewhere and...
Heather, when you feel low it’s easy to imagine no one cares. But your posts are being replied to. I don’t leave a reply every time but I do read your posts. And I love it when you are doing okay. And I try to think of something helpful when you’re not.
Keep working to get well, take care of...
No religion here but have developed a healthy interest in Zen Meditation and Buddhism.
It helped me to relax and work at living in the moment and stop worrying and thinking so much about the past.
Sounds like Dissociative Identity Disorder (DID). A T can help you with this. My initial bit of advice would be to make friends with her. It makes life easier to deal with. But if that’s what you are dealing with, you will need help to sort it out. It can get quite complex and complicated.
It was almost time to reveal their creations, their master pieces. It had been planned for months and now it was time to forget all the other problems if only for one night and go have some fun and some….
I think sometimes they (docs) ask too many questions. We struggle to get a handle on things and they continue to ask the same questions again and again. This alone can make us feel crazy and like we are not making sense. How many ways do I have to describe my struggle of just getting from day to...
Let them play and distract each other. Designating a safe room for them to play on their own when you know you are feeling particularly sensitive to noise. My hubby was away a lot and I struggled to bring up three kids.
The depression kept me home a lot and isolated. It was a God send when the...
