, I'm afraid that depression and suicidal thoughts are common among implanted women. Most of us reached a point where we KNEW we were dying, but didn't know why. It's especially hard when friends, family and doctors treat us like we're imagining everything. Suicide among implanted women is over three times as high as among other plastic surgery patients! Good new is that this feeling goes away as one starts healing. You just have to hang in there. Keep praying and have faith. You know why you feel this way - and you know you can get through it! . . .

Thanks,

we are all in this together

So I hope your not thinking these thoughts

My son is my world

If I was separated from him

That would be worse than this boob thing

And nobody will love or care for him the way I do

I am not ready to leave this earth yet

This Saline Breast Imoplant has put years on my body

I just pray we all will be ok

I wasn't suicidal at all, but I did feel like I was dying. I thought I had some weird unknown disease they were going to have to name after me long after I was dead. I'm sure this is how Lou Gehrig felt also. Platte <deniseplatte@...> wrote: Did anyone ever feel they were not going to make it. Or, suicidal?

I am not suicidal, but when the chemical sensitivities first became really bad, and I did not have control over them (now I do) I contemplated suicide. I thought no one could help. I had been so healthy and then bam!!! I am devastated because this is my childbearing time and I am losing time. I just pray getting these implants out with change everything.

,

I felt like I wasn't going to make it, and definitely had some

suicidal thoughts, especially when my husband was fighting with me

about getting the implants removed. I figured it would be easier to

just die, because that would be one thing I'd have control over. I

felt like I had no control over my own body and what I did with it

because we just charged all this money for me to get implants, and

within a few months I wanted them out. The things that kept me from

doing anything to harm myself were the people I would hurt by doing

it (and I wasn't worried about hurting my husband at the time,

because he was really hurting me). I didn't want to hurt my

parents, my sisters, my nieces and nephews and my friends. Plus I

thought " what if you kill yourself and end up in a bad place, then

I'd have to be there for eternity " . I decided I'd just leave it in

my maker's hands, and when he wants me he can call me home.

It's kind of a strange feeling - not wanting to kill myself, but

certainly not having the strength to be here anymore. I found myself

praying to God and saying, " Is it my time yet? Please take me home

so I don't have to suffer anymore " . I'm alot better now, with hope

of surgery and healing afterwards.

Lots of love & healing prayers,

Sunny

Yes, but do not give in to those thoughts. I was suicidal several times, to the point of trying to figure out the best way to do it not to make a mess. I had to just tell myself STOP IT! It's not an answer. I've known several women who did commit suicide. It was tragic, not only to their families and loved ones, but even to us, who didn't even really know them except through this group. Suicide solves nothing, though it seems at times that we just can't go on. Women with implants commit suicide at higher rates than the normal population --and I think those of us who have suffered the illnesses associated with them can understand why, especially because the medical professionals are so obtuse about it. They just can't get a clue, and actually can exacerbate an already delicate emotional balance by indicating that this stuff is all in our heads. The good news is that these thoughts can be gotten under control by understanding where they are coming from, and learning how to cope with them. Eventually as the body heals, these dark clouds will pass. They did for me. I used no drugs. However some women will need to go on anti-depressants if they are unable to cope. I am not sure that anti-depressants work very well with us, but in the absence of anything else, they may have to be used. But my hope is that those who are feeling suicidal will reach out to others who understand this nightmare, and recognize that these depressive feelings are part of the illness and they will heal in time. If we are armed with the right knowledge about what is going on, that is part of winning the battle. Patty Platte <deniseplatte@...> wrote: Did anyone ever feel they were not going to make it.

I think Lea posted a great article on anti-depressants...did you see it? I think anti-depressants are over-prescribed and in some cases, completely ineffective, even dangerous--for women with implants, and women without them. I realize that some people need them. I know someone whose child is on them and they are very dependant upon them. I myself was very depressed through most of my implant illness, but what I wanted to impress on others is that I healed without drugs at all. I would even go so far as to say that perhaps getting on anti-depressants would have delayed my healing even more. I heard stories of women trying to go off anti-depressants and is was hellish. I preferred to let my body heal on its own, which it did. My depression was a temporary chemical imbalance or hormonal upheaval that was directly correlated to my implant experience. I have never

suffered from it since then, and I remember the feeling that the dark clouds actually were lifting. Having said that, I think one of the most important aspects of that depression healing was getting grounded in my faith and trusting God to heal me, which included the very important step of learning to love myself first, and realizing just HOW MUCH God loved me, and feeling gratitude for what God has done.

I have had trouble with depression since 7th grade. I've tried all of the natural substitutes and even though I take NeuroReplete, CysReplete and RepleteExtra I still have to take Effexor. But I have a strong family history of depression. I'm feeling about right now that I need to increase it (even though I don't want to) because I feel like I can hardly move and have no motivation at all. For some people antidepressants are the only thing that keeps them from spiraling down into a endless dark tunnel.

Blessings,

Penni

Pennia, thank you for this message. I can relate BIG TIME! There's

been times in my life where natural methods worked just fine and

other times when I was in a dungeon of hell...when people would

say " just think positive! " I knew they didn't understand

depression. One fellow I heard on a spiritual show said, although

God can perform miracles, sometimes we do need physical help for

physical problems - broken legs, broken brains.

Thanks for your ongoing support,

Love, Sunny
