well friends first of all yesterday on my birthday my son yes my son was arrested hes 18 and i never saw it coming i am to say the least in pain deep pain from the soul and distraught feeling like a failure.
my neck is a mess and was given two options :
surgery that the doctor said he cant gaurantee would make it better
nerve oblideration thru the neck to try to increase the quality of life for me i chose the oblideration, second i am being sent to a pathologist for a battery of tests due to abnormal ct scan of abdomen i am a wreck and ask for your prayers the irony of all of it is the doctor i am being sent to is a pain management that i asked my rotten gp to send me to and she said at this stage of the game whats he going to do for you!!??

so sorry for the barrage of bad things in your life. When it rains it pours sometimes. You need to let yourself be upset, and deal with these things when you feel strong enough. Sometimes, I just have to crawl in my hole for a day or two and it seems when I come out (after letting myself be miserable) I am ready to take it on, and it does'nt seem as bad for some reason......I know this is cliche (had a nerve block yesterday and a shot of morphine....can't really think or spell) but some times those tried and true methods really work. Sending you positive thought and prayers...hope you have a better day today.

Debby, The pain mgt doctor will help you alot more than your regular doctor. Just be honest with them and get a good rapport with them. I call mine at least onceor twice a month to let them know where I am.

Surgery, I am the biggest chicken. they are trying to catch me. hahaha Let them try.

I really need a magic wand for all the people on DS to make them better. My family thinks I am a witch so I should have the magic wand. I think I got jipped. LOl
Take care and I though a little humor would help. Take care and I will you in my daily DS prayers.

Sorry to hear about your son Debby. I don`t know what he was arrested for but alanon is a wonderful organization that helps me with myself in regards to my kids and others.
I hope you start to feel better both physically and emotionally. God knows stress can only make our physical symptoms worse at times.

Hugs,
Rosanne

Well I think I have hit rock bottom, I don't think I have ever been this depressed. It is eating me alive.i know a lot of people are struggling but the fight gets exhausting . Nobody can understand how it feels unless they are fighting themselves. I get the feeling that my husband can't deal with me right now. And honestly I don't blame him . I am so sick of myself ,I come hear because I want to...

There are days I get tired of struggling with the effects of having bipolar and the medicine side effects. The medications do help the affects of this disorder. The balancing act is difficult. It helps taking one day at a time. I know you all are going through the same thing. Today, I am somewhat disorganized in my approach. I feel guilty complaining.
