Feeling Depressed

[becka]

I did just realize that I forgot to thank everyone for your wonderful PMs and posts of support. I do really appreciate it. I am really hoping that the pain starts to subside some more over the weekend. That would really help reduce some of the stresses that we are dealing with. I was never good at dealing with pain especially the type that drags on for days.

It seems especially hard when you have a little one running around. DS doesn't understand why I can't pick him up or why all of a sudden Daddy is on bath patrol.

You are absolutely right about everything you have said.

You have a beautiful son.

You are a dedicated mother, wife and daughter and you should be commended.

I hope your back problems go bye-bye soon.

I hope you get to see your beloved family soon.

I just know your DH is a man among men.

I hope your DS gets through his teething pain soon.

I hope you stress and worry less.

I hope you have no more sick days this year so you will get to WDW and have the time of your life.

And may lightining strike me if I ever offer any thoughts, comments, or opinions, unless they are dripping in pixie dust...

There's a difference between "not dripping in pixie dust" and "dripping in pissie dust"

becka, I am sorry that things aren't going well for you. I honestly hope that things start looking up for you.

Becka, I know exactly how you feel. Sometimes it feels like everything is just piled on at once. Between being in pain, having a baby who's teething, being stuck at home and imagining your desk at work stack up....plus, any one of the above things would make me not able to sleep very well, so you're probably exhausted on top of it.

By the way, I used to try to save all my days off in case our daughter was sick too, when she was little.

For the people who for whatever reason are incapable of empathy.....sheesh, didn't your mamas ever tell you not to say anything at all if you can't be nice.

I do hope EVERYONE at home is feeling better-you and your back, your son, and your husband.
I'll go out on a limb here, and say: in time, this too shall pass.
I don't have any doubts that you can walk thru this without even breaking a sweat. Ok, maybe a small one.
I remember my own experiences with my son when he was so small and dependent. I had to learn very quickly that my life no longer revolved around me. There were times I had to choose between work and being a parent. (No, this is not a comparison-
it was hard enough facing the fact that my son's mother choose her drug addiction over her child).
It is unfortunate when we're overwhelmed with LIFE and it seems than everything just happens at once. Look at it this way:
you have each other to walk thru this. Just say a eency weency prayer about the gratitude you have-for all that you have.
It won't solve your problems, but I do know in my own life I made a choice to do so. There were so many times I felt like the whole world was against me-and I had nowhere to turn-and certainly hadn't discovered the DIS boards. But I had to set the example for my 15 month old. It's not about reciting wedding vows or being paged by work-50 years from now none of that stuff will matter. You're sucking it up and walking through it with your family. Enough said. God bless you.

PS, I'm sure you are looking forward to seeing your extended family soon. It's good to know they love you, no matter how much stuff you got going on.

Becka, could your mother come to you? I'll bet that would make you feel better. Have you asked her?

Unfortunately no. She offered to come up if she could but she has appointments with some specialists to look at her knee and because of the knee pain she could not realistically drive 8 hours here and back. She has been having some major problems with it for a few months and they think she has a problem where the cartilidge is pretty much worn away.

DH should be able to go back to work on Monday and DS should be fine by then as well. Hopefully the back pain will let up quite a bit this weekend as well and then all can be right with the world again.

Hi guys Please lets keep responses in a respectful tone Its not necessary to always agree with someone, but stating something respectfully causes less hard feelings.
Becka I hope your spirts lift soon.

(((hugs))) Becka. Feel free to vent away and don't let anyone try to tell you that you're not entitled to your feelings.

I think that some people haven't been around the CB long enough to realize that this isn't just another cyber-space forum and that a lot of us have made lasting friendships with other members here. It seems that the majority of forums out there are filled with ******* and strife, maybe it's just hard for some people to understand that we're not like that. Just take the negative comments with a grain of salt and feel free to lean on your CB friends, friends who are willing to share the good and the bad.

And give your gorgeous little boy a hug from me.

Becka, I hope things improve greatly for you over the weekend. I know how it feels when you have everything weighing on you, and are helpless to do anything. Try to rest and get better ASAP.

{{{HUGS}}}

 

[SilverLily]

Hope everything works out soon, becka!

 

[Brer_Papa]

Becka...i am sorry to hear/read of your woes....I will think a good thought....say a nice prayer....ad send you loads of "best wishes"....

I hope your back feels better and all works out...

Keep a good thought....

Becka, here are some things that I did to try and entertain my little one when I wasn't feeling well: a warm bath for the two of you, lie on the couch or snuggle in bed while you both watch a favorite video or two or three, lie in bed and read some books and listen to favorite music or get a babysitter in to play with Nathan. Hope you are feeling better soon. I know how a mom ( or dad) can get crazy just being housebound with a little one, let alone being hurting as well.

sorry Becka Hugs {{{{}}}}

 

[Debbie]

Hugs, sweetie! I know that it is tough. Take care! Pixie dust blowing in the wind (and rain )

 

[6_Time_Momma]

Holy crapola!!! If we were not allowed to vent and whine unless NOONE was worse off than us, then there wouldn't be too much venting going on, would there?? Good grief, even if people are worse than you doesn't mean you can't feel like crap now and then!!!


Now, becka!! Hope you start feeling better soon!! {{HUGS}}

 

[captin fink]

Becka, hope you have a restful weekend and your back feels better come Monday. It may not be same as being there, but give your family a call and run up the phone bill. After the week you have had, you deserve it.

 

[disykat]

Wow, Becka! I'd be going nuts too! I hope things smooth over soon!

 

[wdwnutze]

Becka,
I hope your back pain gets better this weekend. Please be sure to get lots of rest and try not to stress too much. I know how stressful it can be with a little one. Sounds like you DH is doing a great job though. Feel better soon!!

 

[Jomrog]

Sorry about your tough time. Looks like you have lots of friends here at DIS who are thinking about you!! Rest up! I hope you feel better soon!!
