Guest guest Posted March 18, 2002 Report Share Posted March 18, 2002 Re: Thanks everyone Hi Heidi Something is wrong with my email - I just don't seem to be able to reply to the group. I think I am now writing this to your personal email but I don't know. If I am could you forward it to the group because I particularly wanted to wish Koti well and to wish her a happy birthday. Anyway Heidi, I hope you are feeling a bit better with life - you sound a bit more upbeat. Could you social worker not do something for you - get you to see a therapist paid by the state. Its in the state's interest to look after you as you are doing a full time job looking after your child. I started to see a therapist about 4 months ago. Had to do something as I was going nuts - all those thoughts you put down on paper go through my head all the time. Got to the stage I wasn't really much use to - sometimes didn't want to get out of bed - left alot of the physio, feeding etc to my husband which wasn't right but I just couldn't break out of this mindset. Its too early to for me to say that I feel better but I'll keep going. Sometimes I wonder should I take the antidepressants but, I reckon I would get addicted (it tooks years for me to eventually give up cigaretts and here I am 8 years later still dying for one). In closing, I would like to say that I felt better reading your email. It made me realise that its not just me that feels this way sometimes. Regards.

I really needed the encouraging words from all of you, but even more so, the understanding from all of you. I felt very bad after I sent the message.

I know that is something I need, and would love to do that, but unfortunately, I do not have insurance. If I did, believe me, I would have had an appointment a long time ago!!!! ;-P Insurance, meds, and a shrink just aren't in the budget! So in the meantime, I'll just take a deep breath and go on to the next day.<BR> Thanks for understanding.<BR> <BR> Heidi Faustini<BR> HFAUSTINI@...<BR> <BR> <BR> Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted January 28, 2008 Report Share Posted January 28, 2008 I wanted to thank everyone for the replies to my New post. It helps me to hear other people's stories and experiences. I am praying that this was a false positive for me, I know I am probably grasping at straws but at least there is a little hope! What are your thoughts on having kids once you know you have Hep C? I ask because I have been married for 4 months and all my life have wanted to be a mother, I just fear that I am putting a child at risk! I have read its only a 5% chance but still scares me! What is the biggest thing that changed in your life since you found out you had hep C? Do you still feel like " yourself " ? I don't know much about this diease, I used to only know about the stigma that was attached to it, and after doing research all weekend I realized the stigma is not true! I appreciate all the support and information, every little bit helps! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
