Guest guest Posted May 12, 2002 Report Share Posted May 12, 2002 I don't know what to make of my brother. It is all very strange. He writes that letter to our sister yesterday and then he went and bought season passes to six flags the same day. He called our mom twice today and sounded great she said. I think he is just losing it!!!! I told my sister that if he makes any more remarks like that to let me know and I will call his local police. In the meanwhile we have his wife and friend keeping an eye on him. He told my dad that we took it out of context. He is going to be involved with his other son's upcoming play so that will be good for him and give him something else to focus on.

Guest guest Posted May 13, 2002 Report Share Posted May 13, 2002 Morning Zanna, Of course your bro is going to deny and hedge and dodge...his grief is so deep, he really needs help coping and dealing with it. I don't know, don't wish to be pessimistic here, but someone who can talk about suicide and then suddenly do a 180, I'd really keep my eye on them and talk to their doctor no matter what they tell me, or how much they deny that they're making plans. I feel for ya...and your family is in my prayers. May you come through this whole and healthy and stronger than before. Lynn --- wischic68@... wrote: > I don't know what to make of my brother.

Guest guest Posted May 13, 2002 Report Share Posted May 13, 2002 Lynn, He wrote back and thanked us for getting Dad involved. He said that he was not planning on doing that that day but he feels that if he can't get out of this funk that that is how his life will end someday. At least he recognizes that it is a major problem. He said tho as for now, he would not do that to his living son. Thank God. We are all breathing a little easier and his wife and friend know how serious this is now and I am sure that they are keeping a very close watch on him. Thanks, Zanna Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted May 30, 2002 Report Share Posted May 30, 2002 I am still here. I have been very sick. Last week, my friends took my out for lunch and then another friend took me out for dinner for my bday on Thurs. On Saturday night our good friends took us to dinner for my bday. On my bday, my family didn't do anything. I was starting to get sick too and not a happy camper. Kylie wanted to do something but hubby wouldn't take her shopping so she was upset. I was upset that he didn't do anything. I don't get it.......argggghhh. He was doing so good!!! Thank you everyone for you bday wishes. I stayed in bed all day Sunday, and by Monday, my voice was nearly gone. We had to cancel our memorial day plans. Then kylie hurt her hand on the metal chair in our yard. We went to urgent care on Tues. because now Kylie has a cold too. We were both coughing a lot. They ran strept tests (both neg) and listened to our lungs (both clear). Xrayed kylie's hand-broken thumb possible broken bone in hand, sent to specialist, came back with just broken thumb.....Number 12 on the broken bones.... She missed 2 days of school and went back today. I am still feeling horrible. She is getting an award tonight at school for maintaining a 4.0 gpa all year. I can't even go. I am coughing up so much gunk......She is going with her friend. She feels better and is hardly coughing at all now. I got a call from a preschool that I had been on the waiting list for nearly a year. We went and met the lady. Very nice, only 1/2 mile away. We talked for an hour, and at first she said it was ok that he was in pull ups still and then wanted him to be fully trained, then suggested that he might have ADD (duh!!). I took home my paper work and agreed to have him back to start yesterday. She called later that day and left a message and said it wouldn't work out and she wouldn't be able to take him. I was so upset, I nearly cried. She said her niece and nephew wanted to come and she had to take family first. I think she just didn't want Brody. I will never know though but I am upset. Back to square one..... Then, Kylie tells us, she doesn't want to swim anymore. OK, no big deal, we kinda knew she wasn't happy but we asked her about it when we spent hundreds of $$$ on new team apparel, suits, and jackets.....(our team colors changed when we merged with another team)...Oh well! She has been dancing in school and loves to dance so we found a lady in our community who gives lessons in her home. She lives only a couple of blocks away and Kylie's friend is going to go too so they can even walk some days. I am a little relieved about the swimming. No more driving 40 miles every night. Practice was 2 hours, 3 with commute. I would either come home or go to walmart. I will probably save hundreds not going there every other day!!! AND, no more running to Palm Springs in July for swim meets (120) degrees!!! People actually have ceiling fans on their covered out door patios there!!! So, this has been my week. Plus my house is a mess and I HATE that. I makes my brain feel like mush when I am not organized. My brother is doing a lot better. They helped hand out 2 scholarships in their late son's name last week. I think it helped them to see these children able to get help for college in Zach's name. It wasn't a lot but it will help. Both of the kids were friends of Zach's. One of them is the son of a police chief. The police chief pinned his badge to my nephew while he lay in is casket. So touching..... Also, can you become immune to antidepressants?? I am feeling very depressed and am taking it exactly as prescribed. Very strange. Thank you everyone for your concern. Sorry I haven't been myself. I took that trip to blahsville to see Ed and J. !! I need to get home!!! : ) Lots of love and prayer, Zanna PS This HEAT doesn't help either. What was I thinking not buying that house on the beach???????? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted May 31, 2002 Report Share Posted May 31, 2002 Hi Zanna. Good to hear from you. Seems there is a lot going on in your life right now. And not all good, huh? Things do seem to come crashing down all at once. About the antidepressants: I've been on Prozac for almost 10 years (I truly believe it helps me to deal with my pain) and yet I still get very, very down at times. I think the drugs aren't meant to elevate our moods to the point of living in an alternative reality where nothing gets us down, but they serve the purpose of taking " the edge " off our responses to those bad times. I think that's a good thing. We shouldn't expect to be immune to life's difficulties...that would mean we're not really living...but I think the drugs help us to deal with those difficulties and get through them with a little more ease. Take care, Zanna. Things will get better. You're in my thoughts. Annette Re: Zanna I am still here. I have been very sick.

Guest guest Posted May 31, 2002 Report Share Posted May 31, 2002 Hi, Zanna. Glad that you're posting again, but sorry you've been feeling so miserable. Hopefully this cold will pass soon. You've certainly had an eventful week, with Kylie breaking her thumb and the preschool troubles with Brody. I can kind of relate to the problems with Brody, as when I was going back to work after having my oldest daughter, I had 3 baby-sitters back out on me after agreeing to take her and then with my youngest, had 2 back out. It's soooo frustrating, but maybe it's for the best. I'm sure you'll find another one that will be equally as nice. I wish my youngest (same age as Brody) could go to preschool, but the closest is 1/2 hour away, and I'm not willing to make that drive 3 times a week and try to break my neck to get home in time to pick up my oldest from her school. Too hectic! You should definately mention to your Dr. about the anti-depressents.....maybe he needs to switch meds. or increase the doseage. I hope it works out. Take care of yourself and don't be such a stranger. ) Dawn wischic68@... wrote: > I am still here. I have been very sick.
