Guest guest Posted July 30, 2004 Report Share Posted July 30, 2004 Thyroid disease steals from us.It stole my self-esteem, my health,myself.I still battle the self doubts.What if "They" are right,... maybe I am the lazy, hysterical,fat,stupid,asexual person "they" say I am.That my "attitude" is the problem or I am too much a sinner....

I have a thyroid disease called Hashimoto's.I have symptoms from this disease....I have taken responsibility--- I am researching, I am consulting with the experts(those who suffer from thyroid disease).

Guest guest Posted July 31, 2004 Report Share Posted July 31, 2004 The self-doubts and lack of self-esteem are two of the most crippling of things there is to endure with this disease. You can do a lot, over come a lot, deal with a lot, as long as you believe in yourself. But when you start doubting your abilities, your memory, your physical self AND your worth it makes EVERYthing that much worse. I've surprised a few people in the last year when I let them know that I wouldn't put up with their piss-poor treatment of me. The shock when I said that I'd rather sit here all by myself than to deal with being 'on call' for when they decided that they wanted me. I would have people that would say they'd be here in an hour to pick me up and not show, then call a few weeks later and give me the 'oh I forgot' or 'something better came up'. One 'friend' wanted me to work on his sister's puter for free... said he'd get in touch with me the following week to arrange a time to bring it over.... He called back 10 months later.. could not understand why I told him to [relocate the computer to a shaded location]. Apologized PROFUSELY for having been so rude.. said that it would NEVER happen again (this was about the sixth time he'd pulled this on me, but the first time it was over a month or two). Said that he'd give me a call on the weekend when he had more time..... That was last February. So, since Christmas Eve 2002 and today. I've talked to him three times. I'll lay odds that when/if I do hear from him... it will be because he has a computer in need of repair. And that he'll want me to do it for free, because we're friends, and you don't charge friends! *sigh* .... end of rant.... I like being independent, not answering to all the 'friends' that feel since I don't have a job to go to every day that I have nothing to do and so are available on a seconds' notice. I'm NOT available anymore without an appointment for paying clients and an invitation, in advance, from friends. This kid is NOT going to get all cleaned up and changed to go sit on the deck and wait for my company to get here and have them not show any more. I'm worth more than that!!!!!
