well i just got back to work after a week off on vacation and i'm sittin here crying...again. i was to go for my first meeting with my gi on the 10th and woosed out. it was my birthday too and i just didn't want to do anything like that on my bday so now here i sit waiting again and it's all my fault. so the meeting is put off until aug 21 unless i can call the rn and try to get it sooner. i thought i'd just take it easy and try and forget about it until i could get in again but i'm starting to lose it again, i'm not strong enough to wait, not strong enough to go, still very upset about the whole thing. we were to schedule biopsy on that day and i blew it yet again, i dis like me sometimes...i just stay sio upset over all of this, don't know what to do with myself....i don't want to quit being me!!!! Lord help me and give me some strength!!!i feel like this is all slowly killing me and who i am....okay i'm outta here just thouhgt i'd give this a try to see if i could stoip crying just for tonight.....

" Be stong; you're not alone. confusion, depression, terror; all common emotions for us. Ask a friend to go with you to the dr. You HAVE to go and get it all in perspective. Not all news is bad news, but if you don't follow up, you can't hear any good news. Keep the faith. "

" It's true, what whostardis said. These are all very common emotions. I was angry and depressed for so long.
I still feel that way sometimes but what I realized was that a year from now I can either have done what I need to do or not. If so, there is a huge chance that I will feel better (even if it's just as a result of taking the action), but if not, I am guarenteed to be in the same boat and maybe worse.
That is what's so great about DS. You can come here and cry and vent and we will luv ya through it.
I also think whostardis has a great point about asking a friend to go with you--not only for support but for accountability. It can be soooo hard to face this but you must. It's the only way to get to the other side.
Love, Hugs, and Prayers

" For some reason this did not post for me until today, 7/15, or I would have written sooner. I feel so bad for you. We have all been where you are right now. I know you will find the strength to do what you have to do. I just know it. About this disease killing who you are, it cannot do that!!! True, we have to live our lives differently in order to get better, and sometimes we get angry about that, but we still have so much to be thankful for. If you have to wait until 8/21 to see the doc, why don't you use the time to ask him over the phone about getting you on an anti-depressant that works for you? It would help you handle things better and not seem so overwhelming. Anyway, I hope you feel better real soon. Stay in touch. Hugs. "

" you will find the strenght from within yourself, its amazing where it comes from. Its a journey and one which will make you stronger and better, try and prepare yourself for it.
Don't beat yourself up about the way you are feeling now, or blame yourself. Try and focus on what to do next. "
