Steroids are hard to deal with. I went through this a few weeks back on oral steroids. I hate them, but sometimes they are a necessary evil. I understand the ups and downs. A lot of it is the drugs talking. Just know there is a light at the end of the tunnel (when you stop them). That is how I get through a course of them.

I hope so.

I left two voicemails for my pdoc....I hope he understood as I was crying so hard. He’s away but checking voicemails.

Unfortunately people don’t want to hear “the drugs made me do it”. I’ve made a fine mess of things. :-/

I agree with momma. ? you got this!

I hope so!
 
I hide while on steroids. I guess i do that a lot anyway....

This too shall pass. Is this family? I assume thry have seen you upset before and you still got an invite for thanksgiving.
 
Reframe.

The more you tell yourself that you are a hurricane and etc, the more likely you will be that. Instead, try thinking, “I am experiencing distress, but I can make safe choices to ride out this pain.”

Because you can.

If you need to burn off energy, try jumping jacks. If you need distraction, try a movie.

Er. Uhm. I was supposed to make the meal...

Ok, I will try that.

I need to eat....I haven’t eaten anything today.

Are you starting to feel a little better now that you’ve been able to talk it through some?

Yes, thank you!

Cooking can be calming, it’s not too late.

I don’t think anyone is coming at this point.
