I have always written off any feelings of 'depression' as just low self-esteem because of my weight... maybe there's more to it than that?

Guest guest Posted August 9, 2002 Report Share Posted August 9, 2002 Dear Chuck, alot of people in the groups suffer from depression and are on antidepresants. Not only for depression but also for pain. Our mental health is important for our physcial health also. Can't fight if you don't feel like it.... Talk to your doctor and know we are with you..Love, Sue M Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted August 10, 2002 Report Share Posted August 10, 2002 I'm sliding back into major depression again. I was doing okay for some time, then all these goofy things started happening. First I was very nauseated on vacation, we juts had a lay back vacation at a campground, but I was inside the trailer for the whole week laying down. Then our house has been on the market for 3 months & not even a nibble. The real estate g uy himself finally brought somone last night, but since the 19th of June he nor anyone in his office has brought one person. He told us it was a sellers market when we signed up & that he had a couple of people in mind. Now his tune is that with the way the economy is, things are slow, bull----. Needless to say he is out as of the 18th of Aug. Then Ted shattered his wrist on Sunday & is in a splint made up of plaster on the palm side of his arm all the way up to the elbow & wrapped with an ace bandage. We still don't know if he will need surgery. The Ortho wanted to leave it for a week to see how it's doing. So okay I was sorta dealing with all this until today. One of my daughters had been home sick all week. She went to the Dr. today & the 15 min strep was neg. but they ran a 24 hour one. They said it's either strep of pharyngitis. She called and was crying because she didn't have the money for her prescription, so I went & picked it up to go get it filled. When I got there she said she didn't like the way they were acting at work, they were real angry when she called on Monday. So I went to the drugstore, got her prescription & when I got to her house she was hysterical saying she couldn't reach her voice mail. I called & talked to one of the guys there & he said they had to make some changes & he was sorry to give me the bad news but they had let her go. I asked if there were any verbal or written warnings & he didn't know. I talked to the owner later & he wouldn't give me anything, saying he had to talk to her. He expected her to come in on Monday & then they would tell her. Each time she was off she had a Dr's note saying when she could return. So now I've got her crying because she lost her job. She had been there since 1993. This goes to show that loyalty means absolutely nothing to the company. Supposedly IL is one of those states where they don't need a reason to let you go. I've got a call into our lawyer to see what we can do. Oh yeah, I forgot, she was also being sexually harrassed by more than one guy there. One touched her breast, another her butt & comments were made to her. She said something to her supervisor who did nothing because she had it happen & just let it slide. I just sit & wonder why us? We seem to have a pretty full plate here. I know they say that God only gives you what you can handle. In my case it isn't much. Maybe if I felt better it would be different. Everyone says not to get stressed, but how can you help it. I'm so disgusted with it all. I'm tired of being sick, I only wish I could feel better. I'm better, but not how I'd like to be. I know I shouldn't compain but damn I just can't help it. Thanks for your ears. Luv ya, Susiecue Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted August 21, 2002 Report Share Posted August 21, 2002 , When you work all week and it ends, that's when it will get you. I think every Friday at say 6-7 pm it should be called " Oh, it's crying time again another week has gone". LOL There are certain things that trigger us and I hope when it happens I am by myself so I don't have to explain WHY. You take care and hope things are well with you and yours.

Guest guest Posted July 11, 2004 Report Share Posted July 11, 2004 Cecelia, why doesn't your doctor slowly wean you off the pain meds? That's what my doctors do and that way, I have little to no withdrawal symptoms. Have you asked if they are willing to do this for you? Sorry, I just hate to think of anyone having to go through withdrawal when they were on the pain meds for a treatment of a pancreatic attack. Kimber -- Kimber Vallejo, CA hominid2@...
