more meltdown then usual

ladydi1961

I have not been feeling well physically and it is getting me down mentally and ER doctors are a crock of shit and because of this I have been having more melt downs--if not twice a day and at least once a day. When I am sick then I have to be kind to myself and not let other people get into my head.

I do not believe people think I know what I am doing or don't think I know how to take care of me. So, they try to put their imput and instead of listening to my gut I listen to others which is stupid.

I do not know what else to say except who is in charge of me--ME and start taking care of me and not to have so many meltdowns so close together.

I feel for you Im not in the same situation as far as phyiscal pain but the emotional pain I find myself in is overwhelming most of the time. I've recently have a another mental break down Im always so hyper vigilant and my body shakes struggling with major depression and social isolation not really sure what to do anymore. Wish there was something I could do to help you feel better even though we dont know eaach other,

I cannot cope with conflict, or stress. I panic and have to get away. You are right....we are in charge of us.

When I am in meltdown mode, I like to crawl into a hole and pull a rock over my head. Leave me be or I promise I WILL bite. One warning per customer.

Now to narrow down the customer base...

Sigh.

Hang tough, lady di or I will drown you in platitudes like, "This, too, shall pass."

Although emotional pain frequently gives rise to physical pain, it is also possible there is something else making your physical pain worse. ( I have a physical disorder that causes chronic physical pain, have had it for 20 years and PTSD for 10.

After freaking out really bad the last time I went to the ER (for a different health problem) and having a record setting anxiety attack, I decided I had previously misunderstood how ERs work. They want to figure out if you are dying. If they think you are they will stabilize or admit you, (given you don't die first) if they don't think you need emergency intervention they do the absolute minimum needed and expect you to go to a non-ER doc to get comprehensive tests run etc. Having figured this out has made me understand that what I wanted from them was just not in their job descriptions.

I urge you to see a non-ER doc if you are having ongoing pain, and that this helps You take care of YOU.

Hugs
