I had to go to the gynecologist today......I knew it was going to be hard......I told her my situation and she was really nice about it all, she told me everything they were going to do and kept making sure that I was doing ok......

But I'm not ok, I'm freaking out, I feel physically sick, I can still feel the presence of something inside of me, I just want to curl up in a ball and cry but I can't because I am at work and I'm stuck here until 10:30pm and then I have to go to a 21st birthday party of one of my sorority sisters.......I don't know what to do, I feel like I might just flip out in public at any moment, I feel like I'm losing my mind......I feel exposed and violated and disturbed and panicked and upset........what do I do? How do I keep it together? Please someone write back because I really need someone right now

Do you have a close friend you can talk to about how you are feeling right now? These feelings are not going to go away by holding them in, and will only serve to confuse you more than you already are.

They will make more sense out in the open and you will feel a lot more in control. Pick up that phone now and call someone... Thinking of you and hug coming your way. D x

Thanks for the encouragement and support......I have tried to talk to a couple people already today and they just seem uncomfortable and I guess they change the subject to try and get my mind off it.....but I think I do need to talk but I have no one to talk to......:-(

I wish you could get off work early, go home and take a nice shower or scented bubble bath. (Or whatever helps you relax.)

You did a really big deal thing today and I hope you're proud of yourself. I am!

You should be so proud of yourself...I know I need to go, but I just can't make myself do it. Is there any way you can get out of this party if you're really freaking out, just say you're sick or whatever? Can you talk to anyone on here about it? I'm here too if you want to talk

All of those feelings are completely normal. Is there anyone you can talk to, or a diary you can write in? Maybe stay at the party for a while and leave early, or something? I'll be thinking about you.

Seems like we had the same thing on our minds today...I went to the GYN today as well. It was difficult, but I am so proud of me. You should be too. Take victory where it presents itself...this was a victory. I did find that wearing a sundress and having less to take off was much easier on me. Such a simple thing did make a huge diference. Also, knowing he (my GYN) knew about everything in my past helped. We didn't discuss it in depth, but he is a colleague of sorts...I am a nurse and worked in the same clinic for several years. There is some sense of comfort with that as well. I am glad you made it through and I hope the rest of the night gets easier for you as well. I am sorry you have this to go through. Good news is, it's over this time.

    I have been here before, a long long time ago and now I am back.Forgive me for not just saying what I want to say,even under a triple dose of antidepressants it is still raw and seeping and I am hesitant at revealing it as at least under the bandages around my heart I don,t have to look at how raw and wounded.My child was cleaved from my heart by his own actions. my child of ten,turning eleven...
