Guest guest Posted March 2, 2010 Report Share Posted March 2, 2010 I'm so upset and depressed this evening. I'm in pain and have issues here with the man i live with. I want so much to move back to the state where my family is. I don't have insurance and can't imagine starting out with new docs and all. My father is ill and could use my care and help my mom with him. They can't afford to take care of me. i 'm on pain meds and starting the fibro journey and going to Oncology next. I have a history of depression and anxiety and hate when i cry like this and feel no control. My kids are in college and can't help take care of me and i know i should be grateful for a roof over my head. I just need to get away from this situtation. I love all of you and thanks for listening to me. It helped to calm me. Connie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted March 2, 2010 Report Share Posted March 2, 2010 Hun, You know, I learn something a long time ago, I love living on my own! I lost my job, and I am on social security disability, I ended up living in a small efficiency that I can afford, why? Because I rather be on my own, than be with some kind of looser that is going to make me cry and make me depress. I have enough with my chronic pain issues to add a man that does not treat me right on the mix. My advice to you would be, move out, even if you have to start all over again. Find a small efficiency or room that you can rent on your own, and live on your own for at least a year. Learn to love to be with yourself, and love yourself Hun. Anyone that makes you cry and anyone that depress you, needs to go on the " next " column! Follow my advice if you can, and you will thank me in a year. Take care and find yourself the strengh to do what is right for you! --- Connie wrote: > > I'm so upset and depressed this evening.

Guest guest Posted March 2, 2010 Report Share Posted March 2, 2010 Connie, You sound like you are about my age because i, too have children in college. I suffer from chronic pain and have parent issues where I cannot help them like I want to. I am always willing to listen to you vent and you can contact me privately anytime. I very much understand where you're coming from. Hang in there. Do what you can and know that your parents understand. Be gentle and kind to yourself and try not to get hung up on guilt as it can make you depressed and then your pain is so much worse.

Guest guest Posted March 2, 2010 Report Share Posted March 2, 2010 Hi, I'm new to this group and a few topics are sounding familiar. Depression, pain and how to deal with both? I'll leave it at that. > > > > I'm so upset and depressed this evening. I'm in pain and have issues here with the man i live with. > > > > I want so much to move back to the state where my family is.

However, if you can, do not judge yourself for crying. It is a natural response for all you are going through. If you can't stop, could you try distracting yourself or soothing yourself with hot tea or a shower. I know what you mean about writing helping. Give yourself a pat on the back for coming to this group when you needed help. J. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted March 4, 2010 Report Share Posted March 4, 2010 Hi Connie, Hang in there! It's hard when your kids go away to college! My son is 24, if only he were 10 again! I've beat cancer, if you want to discuss any of that let me know! Jeanne T. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted March 4, 2010 Report Share Posted March 4, 2010 Hi Becky, I have chronic pain, depression, a son who just finished college, now facing the real world. Depression hits home. JeanneT Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted March 4, 2010 Report Share Posted March 4, 2010 Jeanne T, I hope your son who just finished college has some job prospects. It is real hard on these young people to go through all that college and then have trouble getting work. Is he living with you and if so, is he any help? My daughter has 2 more years of college so will be back home in a few months for the summer. She really is no help and I guess it's because we spoiled her when she was little. I mean she takes care of her own stuff but won't raise a hand to do anything around the house unless I nag and that's not me. My husband is dead so surely the two of us can have a pleasant summer. I am hoping to get her to do my grocery shopping or at least go with me. I think I have a good chance with this one because don't all teenagers love to eat! I know my dog would go with me to pick out his food if he only had the chance. Hope everyone had a nice day and will have a great weekend. Love.

Guest guest Posted March 5, 2010 Report Share Posted March 5, 2010 1-800-suicide if you need to talk to someone or feel as though you are going to harm yourself call. I can't begin to tell anyone else how to live their life, how to leave if someone else is making you down, how to get a new dr if yours isnt listening, these are all things we all have to decide on our own. Talk it out in this group, or call the 800 number, there is help and people who will listen and who care. > > Hi everyone, > I haven't been posting much (or reading posts I'm afraid) because I > have been feeling so depressed lately. > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
