Chantelle-

You had to self-advocate getting all those folks coordinated to help you.

Just appealing to them to do whatever it is they did was self-advocating.

Don't sell yourself short. If you didn't speak up for your needs and speak

up to the right people and do it over and over again til they listened and

responded, you wouldn't have what you need. You may think all you did was

sit back and whine while everyone else did all the " important " work. I

don't think that's exactly right. Pat yourself on the back as you thank all

those who supported and helped you.

One big lesson I learned when I had Aubrie was how to ask for help and then

how to graciously accept it. Heck, just admitting I needed help was a big

step! Anyway, I understand you don't want to take all the credit -- go

ahead and share it -- but don't sell yourself short. " Self-advocating "

doesn't mean doing it all alone. It means being a part of the process.

Yah maby i can get on the right meds and stop being so hatefull. Ive

forgoten how to look at all the good in life. I get these people who are

supposed to help me they want to know all the horrible stuff thats wrong

with me so they can better understand me... just to say well we have to send

you to the next person and it goes all over again. Im tired of telling

people about all the bad stuff. I want to get better why do the

professionals always want me to tell them all the bad stuff. They want to

know every last detale then they pass me off to the next person.

Sigh. My family dosnt want me to talk to them about my problems. Work dosent

want to hear about it and I dont want to say it here any more. I just feel

like the last couple months im so hatefull that its making me feel worse. I

know I will hold on till tuesday but then i will probably spill my beans to

1. be told Oh you want a boyfriend or 2. be passed on to the next person!

Maby i better not be pessimistic. I wont feed the bad wolf I will find

that good wolf and bring it back to health.

Chantelle,

I'm glad you are trying to bring the good wolf out; I see the good wolf

everytime I'm in Kennedy's room and see the butterfly picture you brought

her at the hospital....

Lots of love,

You still have that picture? wow. I feel sad though. I dont know why I

want to cry.

I love to draw butterflies. It makes me happy.

Chantelle,

You've probably already mentioned but I forget - have you told your doctor

about these feelings? There might be something out there than can make you

feel better. If it works, I'm all for it - I don't worry about what other

people think.

Yes, we still have the picture of course! Try not to cry - you look so

beautiful when you smile.

i made a little list of things I wanted to talk to the psyc doctor

about tomorrow.

* Going from hyper (thoughts racing) to crying for no reason.

* Snapping at people

* Yelling or saying stuff out load at innapropreate times.

* Talking to myself when frustraited.

* Thoughts or words that taunt me, make me feel like I want to hurt myself

* Innability to sicuss my problems, I yell or am rude instead.

*Innability to deal with coworker and her method of doing her job. (mind you

the ignoring the 3 crying babies in favor of walking around with a 14month

old who just has to do a pretend whine (and yes i know the difference

between a pretend whine and a real cry) to get coworker to run (im not

joking or exaggerating) to her and carry her is not really a good thing

on coworker's part, but im sure my snaping at coworker isnt the best way of

dealing wit the situation... and that was just what happend today)

Gosh, i used to like my job. I still love what i do. I just dont like where

im working, but I dont feel its really right to leave because coworker is

hard to deal with. However I am at a loss. I can talk to the psyc doc

tomorrow. Maby he has some insights or usefull suggestions.

GOod idea CHantelle to make a list; sometimes I forget things when I get to

an appointment. Don't let him rush you; take the time you need to fully

explain things.

Let me know how it goes.

Chantelle-

I hope the dr has some useful solutions for you. I am amazed at your

self-awareness. You have such a good handle on the situation as far as

knowing what you are doing and what you want to change. So many people

can't even get that far. I hope the dr helps. And, if so, let us know what

it is that helps.
