[QUOTE="Nomad, post: 261882"] I've had some similar experiences and thoughts like you, Star and others have mentioned. Second guessing myself, bewilderment, bitterness and health concerns. All together...it weighed heavily upon my heart. Medical intervention changed things around for me in a MAJOR, BIG TIME way! Would you be open to making an apt. with your doctor right away? If you don't have a doctor...can you ask around for the name of someone and then make an apt.? I honestly think what you have expressed is so common, as to be normal. The stresses and strains of having a special need child are enormous. As has been mentioned, therapy helped me to see things differently. At times, medication was also needed. I had to make the choice to get better. This is not all that different than what our difficult children experience. The pain becomes so bad as to decide to do something different. Most folks don't really want to go to therapy...but wishing to feel healthy again motivates them to get the help they need. So, they decide to do take a different course. Take an action step. What is the definition of insanity? Answer: Doing the same thing over and over again and expecting a different outcome. I agree with the others, if you ever get to the point that you feel like you might harm yourself, DO call your physician or crisis hotline service immediately. Make sure you talk with someone immediately. Depression and/or anxiety often worsens without intervention. There is no shame in getting the help you need. It is the smart thing to do...and it will provide relief. You did not ask for these difficulties. But by not asking and receiving help, you are keeping the problem strong. Please make the choice to take action toward health. Again...can you call your family physician and see him or her right away? Please re-read what Suz and others have said. Calling your doctor would be an excellent first step toward feeling much better about all of this. Sending good thoughts...wishing you well. [/QUOTE]
