Overwhelmed

Mar 05 2011

Ok, so I have come to a point in my life where everything is overwhelming to me. I am sick of being sick. It seems like everytime I go to the Dr.s they find something else wrong with me or referme to some specialist. I am to the point that I don't even want to leave the house again nor do I want to go to the Dr.s becuase I can't handle it anymore. I have everything from chonic back pain, fibromyalgia,diabetes, congestive heart failure and severe copd, along with a host of mental health issues. I have a home nurse that visits me 1x a week at this point and health aids 3x a week. I feel so helpless and so depressed about the entire situation. I wish I could just tell everyone that has anything to do with the medical field to leave me alone.

I get by day to day and don't know how I do it without hurting myself. I have not seen my therapist in months and that's not helping much. I have to really get out of this rut somehow and start taking care myself better. It is easier said then done though. I feel like I am going to hell in a handbasket. I just want to stop the world and say hey, let me off. Am I going to get any better? NO...so I need to work with what I have somehow. I mean it is what it is right? I just feel like I have given up the fight...why do I have to fight? Why so young has everything happend to me so quickly. I am 44 now and when I was 37 my pulmonologist and primary Dr.s gave me 5 or 6 years left to live. Ok...so they were wrong, I'm still here....suffering. I don't want to suffer anymore. I wish the higher powers would give me some strength.

Well I guess that is my rant for now. Sorry  it's so gloomy.

My heart really does go out to you. So much on your plate and nothing good.

All I can tell you is, that when my son was assaulted and was in ICU and I couldn't handle any more, I went to the chapel at the hospital and just told my Higher Power, I can't deal with it any more, you deal with it. When I walked out of the chapel I was like a whole new calm collected person and no I am not kidding.

I will say some prayers for you and yes it's perfectly fine to vent. In fact I'm sure it did you some good.

Take care,
Sue

Welcome to the Overwhelmed club.

You are not alone in that department either - not that that is a prize either.

I am sorry you are having so much difficulty.

I just want you to know that I am right there with you and that you are no longer alone.

Big gentle hugs, Raoul
