Guest guest Posted December 27, 2006 Report Share Posted December 27, 2006 Thank you Sis . . .All too true. . . . Depression can be terribly hard to deal with - and usually a passing state. Putting a permanant "solution" to a temporary problem isn't a solution at all. Rogeneauntsisnj <auntsisnj@...> wrote: Hello friends,I just came from a funeral.

Guest guest Posted December 27, 2006 Report Share Posted December 27, 2006 Dear Sis, I am so sorry to hear this. How sad! There are many people who become overwhelmed during the Christmas season with all of the hulla-balloo, and begin to feel left out and that their life doesn't matter, and end things in a way that is devastating to so many. Suicide sends shock waves much farther and wider than most people would believe. I have known several people who have committed suicide--none of them close to me, and probably even barely acquaintences, but the shock is always devastating. It is so important to remember to reach out...there's so many in need of help, and they won't ask. Thanks for sharing that. I hope your Christmas was still filled with a sense of hope and meaning, Hugs, Patty A lesson learned Hello friends,I just came from a funeral.

Guest guest Posted December 27, 2006 Report Share Posted December 27, 2006 That is just awful. I admit that I was suicidal at times, too, during my illness, but the thing that kept going through my mind was how devastating it would be to those who loved me. I saw it as an ulitmately selfish act, and I absolutely could not hurt my mother, my father, my husband, my children in this way. It would be more cruel to them for me to go through with it, than for me to continue living in my suffering state. It is never an answer. I just wish there was enough help to make sure than everyone realizes this. Patty A lesson learned>>Hello friends,>>I just came from a funeral.

Guest guest Posted December 28, 2006 Report Share Posted December 28, 2006 I had a good friend whose husband killed himself with a gun, in their furnace room, the day after Christmas. She was home. It was devastating. Lynda At 11:38 AM 12/27/2006, you wrote: >Dear Sis, >I am so sorry to hear this. How sad!

Guest guest Posted June 1, 2009 Report Share Posted June 1, 2009 Lynne, I suspect simply being stuck in traffic like that and having an intense burst of hectic days would be sufficient to throw someone off balance, regardless of how carefully they took their meds.

Guest guest Posted June 1, 2009 Report Share Posted June 1, 2009 Hi Sheila, I normally take supplements first thing in a morning with my breakfast, then at 10 am take levothyroxine and liothyronine. Lunchtime I teake NAE and vit c, in the afternoon I take a further dose of liothyronine and at tea time I take the supplements again. I think I took the iron, magnesium and zinc too close to the liothyronine. Then again, I have had a very upset stomach all night and day so it could well be just a bug I picked up or something I ate that didn't agree with me and just coincidental with the tablets routine being messed up.

I did take them with food but it was at a much different time to usual due to the fact we went out to dinner with my brother who I haven't seen for almost a year and who is suffering rather badly right now with hypo-t, another story there. > The again, it's also better to take iron and zinc at different times > so's not to confuse the transporters that help absorb the trace > elements. > I am finding it difficult as I am at work and have problems with meal times too. We do not have a set lunch break even though it is written in the contract that we should and I can't afford to argue about it in case I lose my job. I was actually fine with everything until this bug change in routine at the weekend so this is why I thought I had the problems.
