Depression Support Group
Depression is a real and debilitating condition that is often misunderstood by family and friends. Its meaning can range from a prolonged period of sadness to an actual mental illness with specific symptoms. Find and share experiences with others who are going through the same struggles.
The day started out with my sister telling me she has Addison's. Then, right as I am about to leave for work, Oscar gets sick and shows signs of hypoglycemic shock. Just gave him honey and he is eating now, so hopefully the crisis was averted. Now, time to go to work. Hopefully Oscar will be OK.
Wish you the best. And remember that there are some things beyond your control.
Some days are just all fleas and no kibble....Hang in there
Hubby said he was fine when he got home, except that he got sick on himself and needed a bath. Oscar HATES water, so I have no idea how he managed to give Oscar a bath without having a finger bit off. He is now sitting next to me trying to lick the water off of him. Hah!
I honestly was about to kill one of my managers today. I really wanted to get off of work on Saturday to both get a car loan and to also see my sister. A coworker agreed to switch her Sunday shift with me. When I asked the manager if it was ok, he said no and that he was sick and tired of people switching their shifts around. First off, I rarely if ever switch shifts let alone call out. He NEVER had a problem with such a thing before, but has clearly been in a shitty mood for the past two days and has been getting hostile with everyone. I told him that it was due to a family emergency, and he still said no. I then flat out told him that my sister was diagnosed with Addisons, just started cortisol treatment and is scared, and that I wanted to be there for her and to PLEASE try and work something out. He still didn't give a shit which made me want to rip his head off. Thank goodness it turns out that we can go visit her on Sunday instead or I swear I could have clocked him one.
