Guest guest Posted March 2, 2007 Report Share Posted March 2, 2007 Oh, Belinda, I am sorry you are feeling so blue Is it weather-related? Sometimes too much winter can get to a person. Do you have anything fun planned? That might help snap you back. Did something happen to make you feel so sad? I am not sure I can offer much because I am so far away, but know you are being thought of in rainy, windy, Boston. pam > > -- Pamela J. , M.A., CAGS Licensed Educational Psychologist Deafblind Program Perkins School for the Blind 175 N.

Guest guest Posted March 2, 2007 Report Share Posted March 2, 2007 Belinda,, Yes, is right. We all have periods of sadness. It's all part of being human. Keep your chin up. Look at the moving clouds in that sky. It is a sign to us that all things will pass. Along with the clouds there is a sun up there too. Sending you my love and hugs. mom to (31) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted March 2, 2007 Report Share Posted March 2, 2007 Belinda- By the time you get this, I hope you are feeling better! Smile!!!! Everyone gave you such good advice. I also find myself down for no reason at times. I just let it ride and it goes away. If I let myself get depressed because I am down, then it can go on longer. So. recognize it, but don't dwell on it. Just wait for it to pass. Let your happy self stand on the sidelines and watch that silly ol' sad self until it's ready to leave the stage! I say it's time for the curtain to go up for Happy Belinda! :-) Hugs- Michele W _____ From: CHARGE [mailto:CHARGE ] On Behalf Of _Belinda _ Sent: Friday, March 02, 2007 1:42 AM To: charge Subject: i feel sad, i dont know why i feel sad, i just feel sad , empty, numb, nothingness, i dont know why im writing this, i need to vent somewhere, ive felt sad all week, just so sad, i dont remember the last time i felt this down Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted March 5, 2007 Report Share Posted March 5, 2007 Belinda, I hope you are feeling better, too. But I sure know what you are feeling. Has anyone heard the term " chronic sorrow? " This is a topic that I'm thinking of doing for my doctoral dissertation. The sadness of loss of some kind that never truly goes away. Roos wrote a book called, " Chronic Sorrow: A Living Loss. " It's very good. Sometimes I just feel like everything I do with and for my son is pointless. He has reached a plateau in his development and has been there for several years now. This means, of course, there's been no accomplishment to celebrate. Some have told me, " you can celebrate that he's still alive. " And of course I do, but even he wants more than just that. It hurts me so much to see him constantly struggling and getting seemingly nowhere at all. It is also very very tiring. Sometimes I just don't want to even get out of bed. Thoughts?

Guest guest Posted March 5, 2007 Report Share Posted March 5, 2007 Rosie- I am sure you are not alone in this feeling. I often wonder how it is for my friends who have kids with CHARGE and other things that either cause regression or stagnation. How must it be to know that this is all there is? Or that things will only get worse from here? I know how difficult my reality is at times - and it's not either of those. Aubrie makes constant progress and I am able to expect much from her future. Sure there are unknowns, fears, and worries - but it's not the level of sorrow that you are talking about. I am so thankful because I am acutely aware of others living with " chronic sorrow " . I think that's a good term to describe it. I can imagine your constant pain - for yourself and for your child. I am certain you are not alone. I don't know the answers to coping under these circumstances. You and others in chronic sorrow are in my prayers always as I contemplate your situation and try to figure out how it is that human beings can be so resilient and persistent to continue on. Hugs- Michele W Aubrie's mom Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
