Today is kind of a hard day. Im having anxiety and I don't know what its about my husband is finally home for the week and that shouldn't be it unless we get into another argument about my time in the hospital or my depression. He thinks I just should be able to turn it off. Im such a bubbly person otherwise and you wouldn't know I have depression unless you really knew me. A lot of things healthwise have been going on and that could be it. I go back to my dr tomorrow and honestly I don't want to go I don't know how to get through today knowing im going tomorrow. We decide tomorrow on whether I need surgery or not and I really want the surgery because it will make the pain stop for a while. Im too young for a hysterectomy even though Ive been told that wont stop the pain either. I don't know I hate being in pain and going to the dr

That is a really hard one to have to face. It doesn't sound like any of the options is close to optimal. All I can say is that in the end it will work out for the better one way or another. I like to think that we are presented paths to get us to a destination much like walking through a Maze. In the end though it works out for the better for us in some way or another. it will end up okay though may not be immediate.

I will give you a hugg, if that helps. I will keep positive thoughts for your situation, and answer your messages if you want to send any. Peace be with you. It sounds as if you could use some.

for Megan :)

I know what you mean about nobody knowing...I was always a happy person, so the depression is such a weird thing for people to see in me. Sorry you're stuck with this decision, and the pain...

It's always hard to explain to a person who's never been depressed. I hope your husband can understand a bit more, or at least empathize. Just try to remember that it's not something many people can wrap their heads around, you know? Chances are he just wants the best for you and wishes you could feel better, he just doesn't know how to help and, well, guys hate that.

More hugs

One of my friends has major depression & chronic migraines. Her husband constantly puts her down because of the doctor bills. To me, that is THE most selfish, heartless thing a husband can do. Do you CHOOSE to feel this way? NO!!!! If you could feel better, would you?? YES!!! Your husband needs to feel your pain (physical & mental) for ONE day, then maybe he would understand. Maybe a doctor needs to explain depression to him? Im sorry he tells you that. You can come here & vent-we ALL understand!! ((hugs))
