Really considering changing support group boards... Mood
Thursday, January 22, 2009 | A Venting story

I have been considered on here as a selfish, arrogant and defensive person.  Maybe I do need mental help.  I have been through a lot here, not to mention that my hubby has to working for the sheriffs office at the time of his best friend being hit and another killed by William Morva and then the sheriffs office having to deal with the mess at Virginia Tech twice now.  There was another murder there last night.  Thanks to everyone who has supported me through my surgery and ups and downs and I think that this message board has helped me out a lot but I have had a few people say that I am self centered and I am not the only one in pain.

 

I realize that totally, I know I am not the only one in pain, but I was asking a question about what to do with a doctors office that treated me like dog shit?  I got a call back from that doctors office with an apology from the administrator and I think the girl was fired.  Anyway, that doesnt matter because I am selfish and shouldnt have even brought it up.  My marriage has survived this surgery and a police officer's job.  (Many people on here hate cops and I think that has something to do with it too) The stress that comes from these things are enourmous but also add the money and the children thing to that to, a drug addicted parent, a father living 2,000 miles away and no other family other than your mother in law that thinks that you are a piece of crap.  No one knows my entire story and can base an opinion on only what I have put on here.  I will not tell my entire story in fear of someone scrutinizing mine and telling me that I should be happy that some people have it worse.

 

Thanks to all my friends that give me hugs and totally understand where I am coming from and I will encourage you and your wellness.  But this thing on here is ending up being more painful for me than helpful and I am really considering trying another avenue of healing.  I will have some time to think about it but in the meantime try to get some help from a counselor.  They do not pass judgement on anything you say and are there to listen. 

 

Thanks to all that have listened.  I really appreciate it.  Hopefully will post soon with an update on how things are going.  TaTa for Now.  Tania

    Hi Tania, I too decided I did'nt need this sort of behaviour from others and that I have enough to deal with, without taking their nonsense onboard. You are under a lot of physical, emotional and psychological stress with all thats happening for you. Be kind to yourself and don't blame yourself. Some people just drink too much vinegar for breakfast!!!!!
    Give yourself a few days of self-indulgent pampering - play music/DVD's etc that you like, have a nice soak in the bath, get some nice perfume/oils that you like and give yourself a treat - chocolates a good antidepressant, lol. And in a couple of days forget about those members who deemed to judge you without knowing you. All the best.

    All I can say, actually I have a lot to say LOL. Don't worry about the way others percieve you, who the hell cares about what others think??? Then in a very kind and collective manner, stand up for yourself. I don't know why people think their crap don't stink, but helloooooo no one is perfect, and I mean no one or just ignore them would work too. Either way girl, don't let anyone run you out of somewhere and don't take to heart what they say. Most of the time, we know that people have done the same or worse, just fail to mention that. Anyhow, I sent you a message on a group that I'm in and I really do think you will love there. Give it a try.
