Journal Entry for November 1, 2006 Mood
Wednesday, November 1, 2006
This week I am finally allowing myself to know how exhausted I am. I feel that it is less a physical tiredness, although that is there, but more a weariness of my heart. I am so sad at the illness I see and the ways in which our current society sustains it. I wonder what went wrong, where did the healers go and why were they replaced with toxic doctors and toxic medicine.

I am sorry to speak so bitterly of the medical profession. I am told there are many great things that western medicine can accomplish but my friends do not seem to benefit from these things, instead my friends seem to suffer.

It is the children that grieve me most of all, I look into their small bright faces and I see the tiredness and stress in their eyes and bodies and it breaks my heart that people no longer even seem to know they have lost something so precious as their health.

I need to play, dance, color, get my groove back, LOL, please forgive my broken heart.

    I'm rather disgusted with the stories I've heard as well. No need to ask for forgivness, our hearts are breaking over here too. HUGS.

    I agree with the toxic doc statement. i have been pumped full of meds I didn't even need and didn't get well. And my beautiful daughter lost all of her hair after her second pnumonia....From the strong medicines that she was given. No one took responsibility for what happened to her. No one ever explained. I had to do the research my self and figure it out so that it never happened again. Yes I feel your frustrationa dn no need to apologize for it. What is happening in ur medical world is wrong and more need to stand up and say something about it! Love ya, Lollie

    You speak for me as well, my friend. I am feeling the bitterness of it a LOT lately. All we can do is go forward from here and as my grandma used to say, "Make do with what is left". I am hoping there is much left for all of us. Really, I believe that there is. I love you and hope you have healing of the spirit too--rest and peace to you--Love & Hugs, R

    You say it better than I could, but I, too can't get past the unnecessary medications, misdiagnoses, the "you'll just have to learn to live with it" and the general feeling of being invisable at times to both doctors and even people in my life. Some days are better than others--I guess I just go on as best I can. The thing is, they did harm.

    WOW..I'M SO VERY GLAD YOU POSTED THIS. I REALLY HONESTLY FEEL THAT THE PAST 2 WEEKS OF MY DEPRESSION WERE B/C OF ALL THE THINGS YOU WROTE ABOUT BUT I COULDN'T PUT INTO WORDS. I WAS JUST PLAIN SICK AND WEARY AND SO DISCOURAGED AND ANGRY WITH THE STORIES OF SADNESS FROM THE FRIENDS I CHERISH HERE. I THINK YOUR CORRECT WE NEED SOMETIMES TO JUST ALLOW OURSELVES THE TIME TO 'FEEL THE PAIN FROM DISAPPOINTING DR APTS THAT BRING 'NO INFO AND DRUGS WE DON'T NEED'AND ADD TO THAT THE ABUSIVE ATTITUDES WE HAVE TO ENDURE FROM THEM. DON'T THINK I ALLOWED MYSELF TO FEEL THE ANGER OR DEPRESSION UNTILL A FEW WEEKS AGO. PATTI--THE FEELING OF BEING INCISABLE TO DR'S AND PEOPLE IN OUR LIVES LEADS US TO ISOLATION AND FOR THOSE OF WHO LIVED AND LOVED A ACTIVE SOCIAL LIFE...IT IS OVERWHELING AT TIMES.
    LOVE YOU ALL
    THANKS FOR THE POST ROBBIN.
    LOVE YOU

    I think the wonderful thing is we are all saying the same thing in different ways and that is that we want to be well and that we want to help others towards wellness.
