Dear , I am not surprised you are feeling depressed. From what you say you have a right to be so. Just hang on to that little voice in your head which is telling you that things will get better. I must admit that so soon after surgery I wasn't attempting to tackle eggs at all. They seem so innocent and bland, but I found it one of the harder things to get down and did not bother with them for many weeks. At your stage I stuck to home-made soups a lot. My blender got a real hammering. It's a good way to get fresh vegetables down at a time when you need the vitamins and the roughage and cannot eat them normally. Cereals were ok. Do you have Weetabix in the states? When warm milk is added it turns to a mush like baby food - exactly what the doctor ordered. This time is a good excuse to eat ice cream (are you taking note Deborah and , the Queen and King of the ice-cream eaters!). I used to eat ice lollies (popsicles) with ice cream inside and found that not only did they slide down beautifully but also were a great cure for any spasms lurking around. Are you sure that what you are having is heartburn and not spasms? Does it respond to antacids? If not, it may be spasms. I get them mixed up all the time and looking back, have done for many years. And loads of cold water, the healer of everything (well, nearly everything). I do hope you get some help from your Health Visitors.

hi Barbara.

I understand what you're saying and I feel much the same. I was not depressed before we started these new meds for my bipolar. I am not positive I even have bipolar. I see my shrink Tues. In the mean time I have a lot of trouble from side effects. I am exhausted too but no one in my family gets that. I am also hungry but can't get anyone to help me with dinner.

I will be praying for you, and thinking positive thoughts....

all ways love,

I hate it when practitioners won't accept

Medicare/Medicaid. The people that have the least

spendable income and majority of the health problems

get screwed. It is wonderful when your GP will work

with you.

Do what you are comfortable with for the holidays. I

remember the first year we couldn't decorate our house

big time, my son cried and tried to do it himself. I

went out on Christmas Eve and bought a small,

decorated Norfolk Island Pine tree, a veggie tray,

some chips and dip and some eggnog. We all went to

and Noble and got a book. That's about the most

minimal Christmas I can remember,but it was one of the

nicest. You can find something and give yourself

permission to do what you can and ignore the rest.

Barb,

I am saddened to hear that you are feeling so down...

It is like you are trying to move forward through thick mud..

I hope your doctor can figure something out for you..

You have the right to feel sad and down and should never have to say sorry...

(my partner) is trying to get me to stop saying sorry all the time, he says there is limits to what I can do...

Hope you begin to feel a bit better...

I have said a special prayer for you, I have my candle lit

bad day

Hi.....I am having a bad day. I thought yesterday afternoon was bad, but today is so much worse. I feel so foggy headed and like there is this really heavy hand on my head holding me down. I am very tearful and I know that part of it is the depression I go through and the holidays coming up.I am still struggling to get these medical evaluations done and testing done, but most (or all) places won't take my medicare/medicaid insurance. It is my new family doctor (who does take it all) that has been working with me to get to the bottom of my thyroid, anemia, kidney and cushings issues, but I can't go to the places he wants me to go due to my insurance. I have called him twice and written and they keep saying he is still trying to figure something out. The way that I feel today I feel like why bother? I mean if I can't get to the bottom of why I feel so badly....why bother? Sorry to be so sad and down, but just how I am feeling today.I am so tired and exhausted. I am going to go take a nap. The holidays scare me coming up. Yikes!Thanks for listening!Barb

Im sorry hun you are feeling so badly and dealing with those

spasms.The only thing that really helps now is his med

nifediphine.He hardly has spasms maybe 1 or 2 since surgery and fairly

mild but when he does have bad ones they knock them out.Maybe get your

DR to give you a script to keep on hand for the future but in the mean

time maybe call and see if they can call something in and have hubby

go get it.Hey if push come to shove they can have dinner while you lay

in the bed and feel better.I really hope you feel better soon! Tonia

One thing you can try is chewing on some cloves. It has a way of numbing

nerves. If the spasm is caused by irritation of the esophagus the cloves

may soothe it enough to stop the spasm.

,

Sorry you're having a bad food day. I know sometimes its hard to pull

ourselves together and hold on until our digestive system stops acting

up on us. I had pizza on Monday hours befor bedtime and the spasms

woke me up in the middle of the night. Not a fun time. But as we

know it gets better, its just we have to get through the bad food days

every now and then.

Hang in there.

Hi Laurie,

What a horrible nightmare! I have thoughts like that also with my ocd. I know

how difficult it is when you watch your child go through this horror.

I just wanted to give you cyber (((((((((Hugs))))))) I hope things get better

soon! I would have kept her home too, and I would have it added to her IEP that

if you feel the need to keep her home , she cannot be penalized for it.

Laurie,

It sounds very scary and difficult. My thoughts are with you. Imogene

bad day

I'm keeping my dd home from school today. She's having scary thoughts about

maybe she should just put herself out of her misery. Again with stabbing herself

in the neck. with a knife. She said the thought only lasted a few seconds, but

it scared her.

i think it's an OCD thought, since she's more scared of the thought and says

she doesn't really want to do it but a part of her does. I think the part of her

is the OCD thought, since I've had that recently too.

I didn't tell her I had it recently too, though. It seems like every time I

have a symptom, she pops up with the same one, though I know that's probably MY

ocd talking.

But I can't really send her to school with that going on. I need to have that

part of her IEP, I guess.

I " m sad,

Laurie

Laurie -

I don't know if it's a good thing or a bad thing that you both share this

disorder. I suppose a little of each. You have an insight to OCD that I (and

many here) will never have - which I guess might make it that much easier for

you to understand what your dd is going through.... on the other hand - it's

a hefty price to pay for a little bit of understanding, eh?

I wonder if it makes it any easier on your daughter knowing that you also

have OCD - maybe a feeling of her not being so alone. I don't know.

Sorry to hear that your dd is having a rough time of it right now.

I've been working on some ERP on my own because there is a scary stair case at

work that I worry about throwing myself off of. So every time I enter the stair

well I start saying, " this is not a real thought, it's a biochemical error in my

brain. " I found that I can't worry about the stairs and repeat this phrase as

the same time. I'm going to see if my dd can do that too. No success this AM,

she was too freaked out.

thank you. We got her an appointment with her pdoc for tomorrow AM. She

usually stays after school every day to work with one teacher or another. i

think I will take her up to do that this afternoon, since she seems better.

I've told her there is no way she could hurt herself when she's one on one with

the teachers.

I'm so sorry your daughter is having such a rough time. I don't have

experience with this but have an AS/OCD son who is so depressed he

sometimes is suicidal - and a daughter with TS/OCD who has voices in

her head tell her things that she doesn't want...

I give you my prayers and support in hopes you are able to find her

help that works very soon.

[Guest guest]

Thank you. She is better this afternoon. I knew she would be, but I still

didn't think I could send her to school this AM. I think I'll try to get it in

her IEP that I can send her later if she's having problems. Or she can come

home. At least initially while we are just starting CBT.

That doesn't surprise me. Just remember, she needs you to take care of

yourself, so you'll be in good shape in order to take care of her when

she's out of the hospital.
