Re: Anxiety/Depression/what????

[Guest guest]

Melody,

I do appreciate your concern, and I am going to try to be as polite as possible.

First of all, I am sorry about the situation with your son and the steps you had to take to overcome that. However, in your post you assume I did not apologize to my son already (which I did) and seem to convey a tone that indicated I wouldn't have made the apology without your instruction.

The intent of my post was to gain advise about depression and anxiety. I expected responses perhaps relating to a mood disorder, depression, ibs, ways it relates to fibromyalgia. What I did not expect was unsolicited parenting advice from someone who doesn't know me. I think what is upsetting me so much right now is that the basis of my first post was my current emotional state - i.e. agitated, stressed out, depressed, ect., and I felt that your post was written without taking those things into consideration and rather then being a supportive post, it was more chastising.

I could be completely overreacting, and I recognize that, however, I also wanted to speak up and let you know that I did find the post out of line and I was offended. What you do with that information is up to you.

I understand the desire to educate others and prevent them from making the same mistakes you have, and I applaud you for making that effort. I just think that this situation was not the appropriate time.

Respectfully,

Sawyer

I know I may be out of line but please tell your son you are sorry about yelling at him.

My son and I had a fight 13 years ago he left for school after that an hour later I had a massive heart attack my son blamed himself for it and with me in the icu he was to young to see me and he just kept blameing himself. after a week in a half they put me on another floor for a week in a half he come see me and kept saying he was sorry I told him and told him held him it wasn't his fault that I had a bad heart. He just kept blameing heself to point I had to get a counselor for him to help him understand that.

When I see what you wrote it reminds me of my son . with you being all worked up you could end up seeing a doctor as you plan to do and your son could blame himself for it kids take blame alot when it nothing to do with them.

well had my say

-- Anxiety/Depression/what????

Hey everyone - sorry I haven't written but I just haven't been able too. Now I really need your help.

I am so stressed - not just stressed, but really pissed off. I just went off on my son for 20 minutes about how no one ever helps me with anything and always leaves me everything to do (which honestly is not true). I was so angry. I have been angry about everything all day. I feel out of control and like I need to beat the crap out of something...I don't know. Maybe this is all related to depression or fibro or both. I have no clue.

And to top it off - in a HUGE flare right now. Also, my bowels haven't been normal forever it seems. I am going to make an appointment w/a new doctor and talk about IBS as well as try some pain meds for fibro.

*sigh* Thanks for listening to me vent. I am so overwhelmed and I don't know if I want to cry or scream. -- Check out my blog!http://www.rantingsofheather.blogspot.com 1. While it is wonderful to share our experiences with everyone on the list as to what treatments do and don't work for us, pls always check with your dr. Some treatments are dangerous when given along with other meds as well as to certain health conditions or just dangerous in general.2. If you are in a difficult situation (doesn't matter what it is) pls don't be afraid to ask for help. It is the first step to trying to make that situation better.Have a nice day everyone.
