Feeling lost
Posted on 06/18/08, 09:52 am
Feeling somewhat lost this morning. Can't put my finger on it but there it is. So how do you get out of a funk that you don't feel will go away? I guess I'd have to say that in this stage of my life I'm greatful to have this family at DS to help me with the stuff that I am dealing with. I was paying a phyciatrist hundreds of dollars a visit to talk to her and wasn't getting as much support that I get by coming here. Not seeing her anymore!! So for that I have to thank you guys with all my heart. Maybe my hearts to big, maybe I just don't know how to be myself and do things for myself. I'm always doing for everyone else and when there's noone there to do something for I feel empty. What's up with that? Anybody else feel lost? And what do you do to get over it?

Yes I feel a bit lost sometimes too. I am also so glad to have friends here on DS for support when I need it as it gives me strength I never had before. I do not have so many dark moments since joining here. I go to my psychiatrist tomorrow to see whether I can start treatment or not so am hoping things go OK. I hope you are feeling better, take care, Lorraine -

I feel lost and really, although I have supportive friends and family, only DS understands and accepts the fear. I feel I am slowly finding my way through this. At times get frightened because I can not do tx-Had dangerous circulation problems after five weeks. My HEP C and Immunologist took me off. On top of this my cryo flared up(a vascular problem that can be quite serious and is correlated with the HEP C). I felt I could cope with the tx and felt good I was doing something-now I just have to try to believe that living day to day and a good and ethical life is my best hope. I must say that the taking care of my self and taking time to relax is the hardest. -

yes feeling lost happens alot during this treatment. sometimes it is just ok to be lost. knowing its a passing feeling, that i am only lost for a moment. sometimes just doing something helps me find myself. i cleaned my room last week, finding old pictures of friends, an old journal, some of these memories i had forgoten might not of remembered so vividly without tx. its a crazy rollercoaster ride we are all on, i like the front seat, what part of the car do you like? love ya guys! -

Baby girl it'as ok to do things for others but don't forget about yourself either. I feel a void all the time during and after tx. My Dr kept trying to give me meds but I found out that that wasn't the answer either. What i found what works for me is turning up the stero as loud as I can and excersising to it. This site is always an insperation as well. I just love the people here because we can relate to each other. We love you girl. You stay away from that big green menie. "Tattman"...lol...lol... Kisses and hugs xxxoxoxoxo -

Yes, I feel lost a lot. I pray, I come here, I remind myself that I've got this far in my life ok and a lot of people with my challenges wouldn't have done half as well. I just keep on going. It's not easy being an older woman in the US these days. So much is expected of us and so little given in return. Hang in there, we love you, Skeeter P.S. HEY, TATTMAN - STOP MAKING FUNNY FACES AT JOANIE BEHIND OUR BACKS, WE SEE YA THERE : - ) HAHAHAHAHA
