Got a terrrible flu. blah..it is hard to be sick at all but for people like me it can be a bit more challenging.. I don't have many defenses when I am sick.. had flashbacks and saw things, heard things in my head.damn it was not a fun time. I wish i didn't feel so f..ed up all the time.. i tell myself I am not a big loser.. I really am not.. have a good job, nice kids, a home of my own, (ok so the bank owns it,lol)..Still i feel so screwed up and the future doesn't look so bright to me.. I see more of the same. And why is it that it is okay for me to be in pain day after day.. The T and the P-doc accept it as a fact of my condition. " Aw.. that's hard for you, blah blah blah"."Make sure you take care of yourself, blah blah blah"..Daily physical pain wouldn't be acceptable, would it??
Okay,, I am rambling now.. thanks for listening.

Star. I am so sorry for you. Flashbacks, yuk......I hate them..You are not a loser. Just hurting is all. It is though hard to see this when you are physically sick too and things don't look so good. And I know i hate to take care of myself. It is like your ikid says why can't someone take care of me for once. (and hey the bank owns mine too)........
I hope you feel better soon.............and if you can't take care of yourself then hit something like a wall......oopps..i probably shouldn't have said that............here is something I hope makes you feel better..merry christmas to you and all other babblers..

thx for the link.. reminds me too much of my ex-husband..lol.. yeah, you are right.. why can't someone else take care of me?? isn't going to happen.. it is hard to take care of myself the way I should but you know what that is like..
thought about hitting the wall but that would hurt and then I would just be hurting in more places.. then i would have to fix the wall...;(

**Llurpy got this stuff...um, I think..zyprexa mebbe? that is a sort of a quick acting AAP. Wonder if that'd help in these times?
Sorry you had such a rough time. Maybe its something to consider if you struggle badly mentally when sick? Its always harder when sick, but you seem triggered by sickness...>I wish i didn't feel so f..ed up all the time.. i tell myself I am not a big loser.. I really am not..
*OH my T would be so proud of you for refuting the loser comment! LOL!
>have a good job, nice kids, a home of my own, (ok so the bank owns it,lol)..Still i feel so screwed up and the future doesn't look so bright to me.. I see more of the same.
*sigh. That sucks. I still have the ability much of the time to have hope that things might get better some. Sometimes I lose hope. But I would say I am hopeful to some extent more often than not. I hope you can find some glimmer of hope sometimes...
>And why is it that it is okay for me to be in pain day after day.. The T and the P-doc accept it as a fact of my condition. " Aw.. that's hard for you, blah blah blah"."Make sure you take care of yourself, blah blah blah"..Daily physical pain wouldn't be acceptable, would it??
*ROFL, sorry, but my T sends me kind emails when I struggle, and one time I cut and pasted all her kind words in a mail back, and said "I DO NOT HURT" I not so sure what it was about, but I KNOW I get pissed at platitudes sometimes too. I spout them myself at people, and I MEAN them, and my T proly does too, just in small bits I find it OK, but too much just annoys me. My T keeps saying its a journey.....arrggghhh....Its just so hard to describe what its like this sh*t. And for me, its like childbirth, I forget how those really painful moments actually felt, as soon as they have passed.
Now *I* am rambling!!!!ROFL!!!
See ya,
M
> Okay,, I am rambling now.. thanks for listening.*well personally I love a good ramble. SO GOOD to see you back.

Hey Muffled,,
Good to be back and not laying around.. was getting so bored.. my stuff is made much worse with illness.. I don't know about zyprexa.. called my T and asked if I could just tke some Xanax and shut the kids up for awhile.. He asked since when do I do anything but what I want to do anyway..lol I said.. well this time I am asking.. He went on blah blah blah about taking care of the inner kids and I took the xanax later anyway..

My T said the same thing to me, to tell the Dr 'HOW' I take my meds....LOL!
Glad the xanax works. Works mostly for me to, as does benedryl in small doses.
Best wishes to you.
