Sorry I've been loopy for so many years...UPDATE: still no benifits

[king2005]

I've finally been told that I'm loosing my mind by friends. I've known for years that I haven't been mentally well, but who really wants to admit it while others haven't really noticed (or atleast said anything), I know I didn't.

Well I know several of you know I've been loopy over the past 6yrs I've been on PT & the ones that know me in person, or talk to me on a daily bases, know its about time I get some medical help.

My Anxiety has officially taken over my mind. I thought I had it under control, but the other day here on PT it was quite evident I didn't.. It got MUCH worse at home.

I'm going to the Dr.'s tonight with Chad. We are both going to try to get on Effexor.. Well Chad just needs more, hes been on it before & it helped him so much.


Please don't worry about the dogs (or my other critters), they have NEVER been miss handled by us or anything bad... Chad & I have both been loopy before the dogs. The dogs are not the cause... They do help a lot, as Bear is such a silly sucky poo at night I end up giggling for hours.

She does this silly thing to my face that I just cannot help but to be tickled & giggle. She'll put her lips right up to mine & gently lick once.. I'll giggle, then she'll do it again (just a little lick).. I'll try to shoo her away by vibrating my lips (I have no idea what its called hehe) & she'll stop licking & will put her lips pressed hard against mine... her hairs will tickle me so I'll giggle & the she'll do that tiny lick again... OMG its so much fun!! I did the vibrating thing hard on her lips & she was lifting her lips cause it was tickling her hehe then her wiskers would tickle me again & cause me to giggle, so she would get the little lick again hehehe I'll try to get a video of it, as its sooooo hard to explain.

Both Chad & I said last night that Bear is a totally different dog.. shes actually a dog & not a blob... I swear shes lost even more weight!!! She jumped over the couch this morning!!!!! When we first got her she could hardly walk onto the couch & if she tryed to hop onto the couch, her front legs would give out under her massive weight & she'd do a face plant into the couch.. She landed perfectly onto the couch this morning & I was totally shocked!! Its amazing what a good diet, excersize, & a little Hypothyroid medication can do in less then 3 weeks!! She is such a puppy!!!


Back to the origional thread...

I'm sorry if I have caused any problems or concerns(I know I've done both more then once), i truely am... I just thought it was fair that I let everyone know & say sorry

Kay, no worries about the swap, I'm still in!!

I wonder what its like to live without Anxiety, as I only know a life of Anxiety (I've had it all my life, but now its really out of control).

& don't worry too much about me if I dissapear for a bit. I have 2 wonder PT friends I talk to daily that are very supportive (I love you both!) & am sure if I need to dissaper for a bit to recover or something, they'll keep PT updated... Hopefully I'll react fine & can do it myself.

Good for you. Do whatever it takes.

Life is too short to be miserable!

I have been there - and I find life may not get better, but I do!

hugs and good luck!

Good for you for being so mature, are any of us really "normal". Everyone has issues and I am glad you are dealing with your issues head on. I wish you good luck.

[king2005]

Normal as in being able to function in society. I cannot function in society, there for I ain't normal


I'm at the point where I might have to apply for dissability. I'm really screwed up upstaires & its scaring me... My poor heart is in over drive & I feel odd in the chest (thats part of my anxiety) a lot lately.. esp the past few days (today it kinda hurts)

[caseysmom]

Thanks guys

King-
Sometimes it takes a while for us to see we need help- if in fact- you do..
When I left my now ex- I suffered from terrible anxiety. My friends saw it first- and one night- I saw it- I woke up in a sweat and nothing I did would calm me down. I was totally terrified most of the time, and terribly anxious. I went to the doctor and they put me on medication, and I took it for 3 months. Then I noticed I was handling things better- things seemed more manageable and soon was off the medication.
Sometimes in a series of events- we all need help at sometime or another- maybe from a death in the family- or just flat out overwhelming stress. Its nothing to be ashamed of in anyway shape or form. As they told me when I was on medication those years ago " its better to see it, and get help and then comes relief, and a better quality of life for yourself as well..".
This statement from you I am sure has helped several of us understand better. Also let me state- even when I was in the same situation, all my animals were well cared for also- so I know you can do it too! Coming here is away of assurance now for you- and asking for help is 3/4 of anything - from getting the help with your animals to help for yourself..
Good luck- and remember- it can happen to any of us, and getting help is the biggest step of any part of recovery.. take care- Michelle..

Hopefully I'll react fine & can do it myself.

King2005, please hug your Bear for me, I will cross my fingers and Cassie Cat will cross her paws for you. And we will say a prayer that you'll feel better and if you start taking medication that it will help. If you need a little help give a shout. Been there, oh, boy have I been there. [[hug]]

[cassiesmom]

are any of us really "normal".

LOL, LOL! Oh, I know I'm not! Would you accept "able to function in daily life"? That I can do.

[Karen]

Good for you for getting help, and you'll be in our prayers, that you encounter competent and compassionate medical professionals.

Give Bear a bellyrub for me, okay?
