- ...to put distance between yourself and your family,if you're a believer and none of them are,and you've seen time after time that they have a negative influence on you?
- This morning Arlene,the caregiver from hell,woke me up to take my meds and said "Would you pop in the shower,you smell sweaty".It really blew my mind because I hadn't done anything to get sweaty,and I couldn't smell myself.So I obediently hopped in...
- I am in a position similar to Maitray's.I had an appointment with my pdoc which I canceled,because the truth is that I don't like or trust her,and I've been having fleeting suicidal thoughts for the last week or so,afraid if I mentioned that to her...
- ...because I canceled my appointment with my tdoc last Tuesday,because my sister Renee and I had a lunch date for right after the session,and I was afraid I'd cry and then have to meet Renee with a sad,red and swollen face.As it turned out,Renee was...
- Hi,I just joined this group and I read one post so far by a member who was a grown-up dealing with adult siblings.May I share my experiences with that? Once a week with a therapist isn't cutting it anymore LOLI'm the baby of the family,just turned...
- I'll keep this short cuz I don't want to bring anybody else down. I let myself be manipulated into fulfilling a family obligation,and for some reason today I feel really crappy. I didn't do what I wanted to do for Christmas,I basically spent the day...
- So my trusty computer,which lasted me almost 9 years,finally pooped out and I had to wait more than a week to get back online.Boy did I ever miss everyone here! I hope you all have the merriest Christmas ever.Looking forward to spending the New Year...
- Long story short,I went to see the senior trustee at the bank and she basically told me I can do anything I want,either move to another personal care home or get my own place. (For those who don't know the story,5 years ago I made the mistake of...
- As some of you know,I live in a personal care home and am trying to make other living arrangements. I saw my therapist (whom I love) today,and he suggested that it might be too soon for me to get my own place.So I am looking at another assisted...
- last weekend i had a major meltdown,crying and crying,the owner of the facility was able to get my emotions in check by calling my pdoc,who increased my Lamictal from 200 mg at night to 300 mg.At first I felt wonderful and thought the problem had...
- Just wanted to say that this group is one of many many things I am thankful for
- So my sister asked me to go to the store for her today.I had a noon appointment with my tdoc.I went to the store before my appointment,but all I could think about was my upcoming session with Ken (not his real name).So I decided to do the shopping...
- Tonight I'm asking for prayer about a situation. I live in a personal care home. One of the workers,whom I'll call Arlene,scares me for some reason. She is a nice person,but she doesn't always think before she speaks,and sometimes she is insulting...
- I apologize for bringing up about my living situation again.I won't post another word about it.On the plus side,I am very thankful for my new therapist,and for this group because without you I'd no doubt be a mess,or a bigger mess than I am...
- Some of you know that I live in a personal care facility and have had problems (of course,there are problems wherever you go).I've been wanting to leave but that would necessitate a meeting with the trustees of the trust fund my late boyfriend...
