Thanks Star!

and tim, don't worry about it. I know it sucks and it may feel like a defeat on self reliance, but many people are doing it. My workplace has lots of people file bk that never thought they'd be there. It's just the economical climate and not really a reflection on you. It'll be ok and it does get better

hug

Thank you Faith!

I have to restrain myself because I'm still annoyed by people who take the stance that people struggling with issues of depression are just wallowing in self pity.  Gotta remind myself that these are people who need to be educated.

I cut those people out of my own life...especially when they tell me that all I need to do is get on meds and just settle like everyone else
again...pills can't cure lonliness

I did some serious stumbling out of the blocks this morning to start my day.  Okay, I think I got my balance now. Time for some Captain Crunch

So I know this isn't mental illness related, but I just need to talk about how scared I am in a safe place.

I've been having health problems for a while now. I won't get into the whole thing because it's boring, but I'm scared. I've had so many test done, and now I'm on the board for more. I'm afraid they won't find what's wrong with me. I'm afraid that I'm 34 years old and I feel like an old woman. I'm afraid of always feeling so sick all the time. I'm starting to feel diminished. I feel better for a few days, then sick all over again. I'm so tired all the time, an exhaustion that is very difficult to explain. I guess the closest I can say is when in severe clinical depression, all you want to do is sleep around the clock. The last severe bout that I had I slept for 6 days. The exertion from going from one room to another would leave me sweating like I ran a race and shaking. I did not eat any food and only small sips of water for 6 days, no solid food for 9.

I'm just very scared, and don't know how to make myself feel better. I had more bloodwork done yesterday, have another test on Friday, and yet another on the 26th. I'm not afraid of the tests, I just want to feel like a healthy, normal person again. What if they don't find out what's wrong? What if I don't get better, and it keeps getting worse?

I wish I had an answer for you (It's your diet - you need to eat X.  It's the chemicals around you - you need to avoid Y).  I don't.

If your doctors can't find the cause, the only suggestion I have is to try other doctors.

Good luck; you have my prayers.

Oh I like that Star Child Reminds me of when you take off in a plane and the plane breaks through the clouds and you see it's so beautiful, sunny and peaceful up there....it's actually always there but easy to forget that it is and to believe the clouds are permanent - sometimes really feels they are - but they do shift and change... Sometimes they are very thick, sometimes they allow glimpses of what's above, sometimes we break on through like when the aeroplane soars up through the sky.
