Guest guest Posted October 13, 2001 Report Share Posted October 13, 2001 Yeah this anthrax thing is bothering me. I mean what if it was chemical? It would be really bad and I am feeling very close geographically to New York City, too close for comfort. People are talking about moving out of the Northeast corridor. a -- depressed Hey, I think this stuff about anthrax has thrown us all into another tizzy! I know it has me and I'm over here. It's like how much can we take? And all the anti American stuff, heck I just read where Pres. Bush can't believe there is so much anti Americanism going around. Hello?????????? Wake up!!!!!!!!!! Anyway, we can deal with this together, all of us across the miles. Right? We need to take charge, Right? I think a woman should run the country!

Guest guest Posted October 15, 2001 Report Share Posted October 15, 2001 You know what they say. When women get depressed they either eat or go shopping. When men get depressed they invade another country. (((((((((((((((((((Jayne)))))))))))))))))))))))) Beth We need to take charge, Right? I think a woman should run the country!

Guest guest Posted March 30, 2004 Report Share Posted March 30, 2004 I don't know where to turn to talk to when I feel this low. I called those " help lines " and I don't think they really understand what I am going through. So I am turning to my Lupie family. I hate having these onsets of depression. I feel like nothing is going right and I cannot do a thing about it. I pray for guidence and help but the wait is more than I can bare. I just need an outlet of some kind, someone who really and truly understands. I feel my self-worth is diminishing. I read all of these treatments for Lupus but no cure found yet. How come they can send a man to the moon but can't find cures to some of the serious diseases we have here. I keep asking myself why was I " chosen " to deal with this.

Guest guest Posted March 30, 2004 Report Share Posted March 30, 2004 Hi there. I'm new to the group myself but was diagnosed many years ago. I've read posts from the past few weeks or so and noticed that you were just newly diagnosed. This is still very new and fresh to you and I think when we are diagnosed there are actually different stages that we go through. Depression. Fear. Anger. The fear can be paralyzing. The worst one of them all. Fear of the unknown, of wondering what exactly is it that we're in for, of how this all going to affect our families, our relationships. Will I be able to live a productive life or am I in for a constant state of fatigue and pain? Anger. Why me? What have I done in my life to deserve such a thing? Why, why, why? Eventually, I think we get to the point of accepting the fact that this is simply what it is. I was dealt a bad hand. But should I fold or play it out and see what comes of it? I am not going to lie and say there's no bad days because there will be, as you already know. But sometimes the most difficult part is learning how to cope with them. The fear right now makes it seem impossible. But I and the others on this board are living proof that it is not. You will find strength in yourself that you don't know you have and when you feel as if you don't have any left? You have hundreds of people right here who understand and will do their best to help get you through. You still have a life to live even though you have lupus. Granted, it may different than the life you had planned. But it's still your life with all your same fears, hopes and dreams. Your arms may ache a bit more but you'll be surprised at how you'll still be able to reach out & grab 'em. ) I also noticed that you've changed birth control pills, as well. Do you think this could also be contributing a bit to how you're feeling emotionally? Just a small change in bc pills can really change how you feel emotionally. I know I had a very difficult time when I switched. Talk to your doctor. If you're not already on an anti- depressant, ask him/her about putting you on one. Feel free to email me (or probably anyone else in the group for that matter!) if you feel you need to vent. Venting is a good thing! We all need to do it. Take care, girlie!
