Painkillers would help right now too. My spine is killing me and Im kinda hunched over. The Aleve nor the bath helped.

To be held, to feel arms around me and to feel safe, I think would really rejuvenate me.

You are not unreasonable. This is totally unacceptable. How far is the office from you? Can you go in person to request an appointment. I had a primary care dr who had office staff that were not returning calls. I started walking in to schedule or request refill.

Im not much of a baker but I bought a bundt cake pan. My kitchen is under construction for past month. Will be another month, but can't wait to try a couple new recipes. Funny what makes you happy when you hit your sixties. Many things I cant do like I use to, so I will replace them with new...

Pain relief. Fatigue relief. A feeling of well being. To wake up in the morning and actually get up and dressed and stay up all day. That would be a dream come true.

I want to become healthier. I want to see my grandchildren grow up and be part of their lives. I want to travel, just a little because of my health. I want to learn to cook. Well I can cook, but want to expand my knowledge and cook healthier meals. New and less traditional meals.

I have had the sense of foreshortened future for years. I agree with Friday, can't buy into it and not pay your bills and live like its real. After more than a decade of feeling this, the copd has gotten really bad. Along with a lot of pain, each day seems worse than the last. I have trouble...

Doesn't sound like he is the right man for you, and maybe, today as you are, nobody is, and that's ok. When you get yourself straight, in a place that you can be in a relationship that is healthy, it will happen. This is not sounding like that.

I think much of this is generalized and bs. We all have to take our own inventory. Even though I was part of childhood neglect and abuse, I had counseling early and didn't feel like a victim. I felt like a survivor and a thriver based on where I came from. I felt very grateful. I felt more...

janicalif-after I re-read the post, I realized (I was saying much of what you said), that I had not witnessed someones death. Yet....I relate to you in so many ways. Soooo many. My sister died and I was being verbally abused. I was very sick physically with bronchitis and down to 94 pounds, and...

I already had ptsd. In 2015 my sister died. It really feels like a part of me died with her. So far beyond normal grief. We were best friends but in many ways we were opposites. I feel like I inherited some of her traits when she passed.

BlurryFace123, are you getting counseling now? I hope so and that you are getting the support you need. You survived him, please dont go back to self injury. Get all the support you can. I am so disappointed to year this awful man was only in jail for 4 years. And you are right, bad things have...

I have a daughter who was being groomed by a band director. She reported him and came to me. They took action but would not tell what the action was. This was just grooming.....nothing such as you experienced. Im so sorry. She reported it mostly because she is very verbal and her younger sister...

Welcome to the forum. Im sure you will find many that are feeling the same as you, both in present and in past. Just hold on regarding any harm. I know how it feels to be in that very dark hole. I am still struggling to believe in a positive future. I got past the feelings of self harm and I...

Deleted member 50975- I am almost ashamed to admit what my life looks like still. I went to bed and stayed there...literally. Wake up and let dogs out, back to sleep until 1-2 in afternoon. Sitting in bed with tv, computer. By 4 brush my teeth. Maybe around 5 think about dinner, (only because...

There are different kinds of brain injuries, such as stroke. Another is from a physical injury to the head. I had a head injury and was unconscious for a few minutes, and was very lucky to not have bleed. They refer to this as a mild TBI. It does not mean it does not have profound effects on...

Changing4Best I am so sorry. This is such bullshit with diagnosis. There needs to be more help. My MIL shouts out anger to others and they don't react like I do. I try not to react, but I do internally. She has always treated others like gold and me like crap. Today my husband challenged me on...

CBT for sure. Not so sure it would work after accelerated ptsd though.

Feeling blue....what else is new. Admitted my mother in law to hospital last Thursday. Frankly, its not like I like her because she is kind of a witch. Yet she was confused, had swollen legs, loosing weight, etc. Since her sodium is low they admitted her. I pushed for admission. Well all she...

Had to admit my MIL to hospital. She cant take care of herself and is beyond home heat or assisted living, but doest meet criteria for nursing home. WTF. She almost set house on fire, cant keep track of meds, and has a colostomy bag that she cant take care of. It really must suck being 92 and...

Friday, thats exactly what it feels like. My ribs and shoulder blade hurts. I had a broken rib and partial pneumothorax many years ago, and it feels collapsed (but not as severe) but it's not according to Drs. I should have taken the pain meds

Lionheart-thank you for your kind words. They offered me pain meds but I declined. I did ask for muscle relaxers but they are not working, so may not be muscular. The IB Profin is not doing much.

Been feeling crappy. Stabbing pain in shoulder blade and lung pain. Went to ER saturday. Bad emphysema. Quit smoking almost a year ago. Thats not the cause of pain though. Dr. said either pleurisy or muscle strain.

I feel like a sinking ship. My 92 yr old MIL is loosing it and she is secretive in some ways that prevent me from helping. My husband is oblivious. He talks more about what's to eat than about the future of his mom.

Since the concern is about an attempt to triangulate members, and triangulation takes a villain, victim, and rescuer, the main point is not participate in any of those roles, but knowing you can not control what roles others take. The key is not buying into. Bad behavior should not be rewarded...
