Depression Update

Last night Geo was on the phone with a friend when I came in crying. I told him I would be okay, despite I was crying. I thought he would take the hint, but he didn't get it. I talked to him this morning and he said he would have come if I had asked. I just didn't want to feel like I was a bother last night to have him get off his phone call for me. That, and him screaming while he first lies down make me feel horrible for asking him. He always does that when he lies down and his back settles. I ended up calling the crisis line and talking to them for a bit. After that, I took my pills and went to sleep. I feel a bit better today, even if I'm still a bit hurt that he took the call and didn't see that I needed help. I don't know what he was talking about on the phone, but I don't think it was more important than I was. I talked to him this morning about it and he was like 'if you wanted me to come lie down, I thought you would tell me". I just didn't want to be a burden on him. And of course, nobody picked up their phones (Ann, you are clear.. I know you were close to sleep with I called) so the only thing I had left was the crisis line.

larissa I am so sorry for what happened last night. I am never in the clear with you, and I am sorry. it is good you called the crisis line and they helped you. it is hard to understand geo, I don\'t get it at all. screaming at you when you need help and comfort, what is that? I will say that maybe next time, though he should of hung up, make it clear that you are not ok and need him and hopefully he will take the hint. do yu know why last night was so bad? many hugss

Well, I have the flu, so not in the mood to call and talk to anybody. I assume you have friends who are there for you also. I assume I am not in the clear, but when a person is sick and dealing with an animal who is not doing well, they have their things to tend to. i don\'t ever expect calls when I need somebody because most of the time they don\'t. I hope you feel better soon anyways.

Ann... Geo doesn\'t yell at me when I\'m down.. it\'s when he lies down in bed he\'s in so much pain he screams. It\'s not directed at me.

Im so sorry you are going threw some problems with depression being worse right now.... it seems im in the seem boat and trying to row my way back out of it to more peaceful waters...but its sure not easy. Its good to hear that Geo dont yell at you but more a discomfort yell due to his own medical issues...but not good that it causes him so much pain. I agree it would have been nice if he would have seen that you needed him last night without you having to be extremely specific about what you needed him to do at the time..... grrrrrr sometimes guys brains just dont connect to emotional situations they so darn logical..... but still no excuse for him not coming to comfort you when you was down.
Hoping tonight is before for you HuggggzZz

I hope you are better soon. how is the abscess ? Is Geo paying more attention to you now? I am so happy that you thought to call the hot line. It is hard when you want to exercise and can\'t. I am thinking of you hoping you are better .. HUGS
