The Loopy-O
CHEERY O
Well, I sort of got my wish from yesterday. I had said that for my Temptation onThurs I would like to stay snuggled under my blankets all day. It wasn't for all day and it wasn't for a good reason, but I did hide under them for a little while.

I didn't start the day out on good footing. I had PMS, am on Tindmax aka abx From Hell which makes my moods crazy, and this weather literally hurts me all over. The anxiety over the drs appt was just niggling away at me and finally I called the office right before we left to make sure that they had my referral. The receptionist first tells me that I was not on the schedule *heart drops* , then she finds me on the new patient list. But they were not able to see any patients. A pipe burst and they couldn't allow anyone into the office until the Fire Marshall cleared them. I was able to reschedule for Feb 5.

I haven't cried or been really upset or angry about my diagnosis. But this really put me over the edge. So I had a little Pity Party. Def. asking the why does my luck always have to be so crappy? I mean-- a pipe burst on the day I am supposed to see a dr about cancer? Really??? I am seriously so emotionally drained, that I just feel numb. I think I cried a little bit as Gary hugged me after the phone call, but they were tears of just plain frustration. I am just so tired. Done. I feel like I am on auto-pilot.

I probably need to get myself into therapy. I have to see if I can find someone I like in my plan. I loved my old therapist but when I lost that insurance and then got a really bad plan, therapy wasn't covered. I started to see a woman in a non-profit but that ended up being the same place where I had a dr threaten to call DYFS on me re: Scott and his Lyme treatment. I want nothing to do with that place now.

This thought just popped into my head and I need to write it down because I have to admit this to myself. "I need help."
Wow.
That thought is hitting me harder than anything else I have been through in the last few years. I hate to admit I need help for anything, even unloading groceries.

Shit.:(

I am sorry, I have to go. I can't think too much about this. Need to distract myself or I will be a big mess.

Sorry for no personals today.

Love you all.
 
Chris, DO allow yourself to be on autopilot. and don't try to take care of anyone else but you. you're entitled to be burned out over all this. no need to be strong. scream "DAMN!!!" and take all the help available. 9,000,000 more hugs, Faery. ALLOW yourself to be and do whatever helps even a little bit.
 
Chris hang in there and take as much time for yourself as you need! Asking for help is not weakness - everyone needs help at some time in their lives.
 
ITA with the others Chris!! Take care of you and don't you dare worry about anyone else right now! The first step in getting some help is actually admitting that you need it and that takes a lot of strength, not weakness!! Sending you all of my love and hope that you find some kind of peace today!! :hug: Hang in there my friend!!

Big hugs to you sweetie! Autopilot is sometimes required, pity parties are definitely allowed and sometimes great for you and therapy is always good! If I could come give you a big old hug I would! If there's anything that can be done to help just let us know!
 
Hey Nancy I thought that you might enjoy this commercial, being such a great hockey fan, we Canadians love our Hockey and we love our Tim Hortons too!!! Enjoy! I know that you are not a Penguins fan but Syd the Kid is going to be Captain of our Canadian Team for the Olympics.

good afternoon! Its been a couple of days since I've checked in. Kids didn't have school all week last week, so I'm hoping they go back tomorrow. Its 45 degrees here today and the sun is shining so the snow is melting, thank goodness. It's supposed to get cold again tomorrow, but hopefully this will let them treat the roads and stuff before the temps dip again.

Kids are home until tomorrow. I think they like coming home because I cook when they're home. Yesterday we fixed hamburgers and french fries for dinner and then had brownies for dessert. This morning they got biscuits, eggs, and homemade chocolate chip pancakes, and tonight they're getting chicken for dinner... when they're at their dad's they usually eat out 2 of the 3 nights they're there so it's nice for them to eat at home.

I'm trying to get back on my diet starting tomorrow... its so hard being cooped up in the house all the time. this apartment doesn't allow me to have my treadmill and I hate it. when it was warmer I was walking 2+ miles 3-4 days a week...

today we're just hanging out doing nothing... I've got some laundry in and the dishwasher going, but we're just taking it easy again today... it's been a pleasant weekend despite the nasty weather. can't wait until the snow and cold is gone and spring is here...

Hope everyone is having a great weekend! Sorry for the long-winded post LOL
 
Chris - honey I'm so sorry things are so hard for you right now... I love you and if you need to talk or vent or whatever, just give me a shout :hug:
