I had a truly terrifying experience-THE TRUTH Pg19

[LisaR]

If you are telling the truth, you fell asleep for 9 hours after a full nights sleep, missed 20 phone calls, and scared the crap out of your kids. You talk about death and comas in both this thread and the one about carbon monoxide poisoning. You say you slept because you were just bored, you have lost all your friends, and you are a Debbie Downer. And you aren't sure if you should take medication for depression because you might gain weight?? At this point, the weight should be the least of your concerns. Fall asleep like that again and they may just take your kids away. Take the pills!

Yeah, but a CBC is only for a white blood count and some other minor blood deficiencies like anemia, b12, etc. I have neutropenia so have CBCs a ton. I usually get those results back in 15 minutes at my oncologist.

But to do a full blood panel to determine what might be wrong, usually takes a minimum of 24 hours.

Exactly. Yes, you can things like CBC very quickly, but the OP would have had liver function tests, kidney function tests, autoimmune panels (which take at least a week), thyroid, etc.

Not to mention testing for sleep apnea or other sleep disturbances.

The OP said that "everything came back fine" and that this proved that was depression - that would take a lot more than a CBC.

Depends on the lab. My hospital lab will run chemistries, blood counts, liver/thyroid/kidney functions in under 2 hours if your tests don't get bumped to run a STAT. Immunoglobulins - that depends. Some of them we can do in house pretty quick, but some things are send outs and take 2 business days.

If her PCP is attached to the hospital, the outpatient lab may have run her tests and faxed the results to the MD (or posted them to their computer if they are all electronic records).

I'll give you the advice I gave my kids the day they were allowed to post alone on the internet. Lock your accounts, be safe, and nothing ever gets deleted.

Within minutes of searching you can find your posts all over the internet. You are looking for dates, and one site you "finally at peace" on 10/13/2011. I know you're "loving it", but this poster isn't "buying it". Your mother really should have given you the same talk I gave my kids.

Seriously to all the people who are giving really heartfelt advice and spending time. Sometimes it is better to err on the side of caution and check something out before believing it. This poster is fine on tons of threads within the last month, but searching out help here... No need to stop and look.... This is just a normal everyday train wreck.

And seriously, OP I hope you get the help you need!

It's just a guess on my part, but I don't think that she is a reliable reporter. IF she did go in (personally I don't believe it, but that doesn't really matter), I think that what she is telling us is probably not anywhere close to what really happened, or what was said. My guess is that they did not do a full blood panel on a woman who comes in, in a clearly depressed mental state, complaining of taking a nap that went too long.

Dansamy - you are right, you could get LFTs etc. quickly. However, you couldn't get everything you need to rule out everything but depression in a few hours (which would be needed to then go to a psychiatrist and get those prescriptions). It was the things that need to be sent out and take a few days (perhaps my area is weird but even stat ANA titres (and other autoimmune titres) have taken at least a couple of days). Plus, I would think that they'd want to rule out some bacterial and viral infections - and those take time to culture.

Sukhauli, you are probably right. As Dansamy pointed out, some of the tests could be done quickly - they likely didn't do any more than that (assuming that they even did that!).

I've actually had a doctor diagnose and prescribe a ton of meds on the first visit. WARNING- drug pusher doctor.

 

[RayaniFoxmur]

I dont have to make anything up . I honestly don't so the fact that alot of you are assuming that I am just makes me feel like the biggest train wreck. I was definetly prescribed both Lexapro AND Abilify and told to take them together. I dont know anything about those medications other than they are extremly expensive . I saw therapists in the past and I was never prescribed anti depressants and thats why im nervous about taking them. I also heard you gain weight and I've been working hard on my figure and i dont want to take something that will have me hungry . Im trying to be alot smaller by summer so i can actually enjoy my summer for once .

I'm sorry but these are the kinds of concerns my friend had when she was prescribed drugs at the age of 21. Grow up, take the medications you were prescribed and take care of your kids. You are far from stable and your kids are the ones paying the price. Your decision not to take the meds now will affect them all the way to adulthood, believe me. Put on the big girl panties and take the meds.

You've got it. Folks-this is a work of fiction. Don't waste your time giving advice.

Im doing that as well. If you do not keep your appointments with the psychologist than the psychiatrist will not prescribe you meds and they'll close your case. I was prescribed the meds for the first 30 days and I will see the psychologist on the 23rd. I dont have alot of faith in the psychologist . I've seen a couple as a teen and they didn't help at all. I just want to sort out my thoughts and get my life back. I used to work full time and i'd walk to work 2 miles each way every day and I stood on my feet all day and it was not a problem. I was so in shape and I had friends and was happy. I just want to be that person again. My friends disappeared. They got tired of me . I was the ultimate debbie downer. I don't even blame them .

The only person who controls your life is you. You need to take a long look at your situation and what could help you feel happier. I would suggest moving back closer to family so you can have a close support network. When out trying to do it all alone with noone to rely on, it can really drag a person down. Once you are closer to your family and get your support network established, then you need to start setting small goals for yourself (while you are working towards larger ones). As you accomplish the small goals, it will help your self esteem grow. Make a habit of working towards goals each day, but make sure they are attainable ones.

You need to be realistic with yourself. Vacations don't make you happy. You are looking for something to have validation and worth. Putting that into a vacation is only setting yourself up for failure. Look for simple things in everday life that you can turn to that will make you happy, even if it only brings a few moments of happiness. It's better to have a few moments daily than a week once a year. One of my favorite things to do is step outside, close my eyes and feel the air on my face, hear all the sounds around me and think that I am just a small speck on this huge earth and whatever I am dealing with now, is going to be insignficant in the future.

Lastly, if your dr prescribed you depression medication, you need to at least give it the 30 day trial. With chemical depression, you need that help to regulate the hormones within your body. You can't do this on your own and without having that help, your levels will keep dropping because they have gone beyond the point of being able to balance themselves. You need to try because people who have had chemical depression and didn't take their meds (or took them and stopped without the dr helping them wean off) have a higher risk of suicide. It's 30 days....try it and see and then make the decision after talking with your doctor.

Very easy to do-if you right click on a picture in her post here-

Then click Properties you will see her photobucket name-if you Google that -all kinds of posts are out in cyberland.

The locked thread about her ex is the exact same post she has on the dating site a year ago
You need to heed the advice of the professionals as to the meds-your kids, whoa re autistic, need a healthy Mother

This may very well be true. But regardless, offering advise isn't a bad thing in case there is someone reading who is in a similar situation and is afraid to post on the internet for the very reasons another pointed out (never gets deleted). It may help give them some advise or motivation to do something.

Even stranger, in at least one post she claims that she is a guy who just met this stunning woman and he is afraid that he is too fat and ugly for her

The picture he posted of himself comes from the same photobucket account that she used to post the pictures here.

What? Still going? Does nobody respect the jazz hands anymore?

 

[HersheyKisses]

Wow...Can you say stalker ? LOL

 

[SaraJayne]

What? Still going? Does nobody respect the jazz hands anymore?

Nope.

OP, please get help from medical professionals. You need it.

I said it earlier in the thread, but I'll repeat it ~ your poor children. They are the only ones I have any amount of sympathy for, dealing with two "parents" like they have.

Get help.

 

[SaraJayne]

Wow...Can you say stalker ? LOL

Not at all..you put stuff out in the public world of the internet, expect it to come back to bite you, like it's done in this thread.

 

[focusondisney]

It looks like it's almost time to change screen names again. Can you jazz hands her name?

Yeah, and I can also say Freakin' Drama Queen (King?) liar liar pants on fire.

Updddddaaaateeeeee ...This morning my kids father contacted me on facebook and said he wants to see the kids and talk to me today . I told him im not available today and im not comfortable seeing him . I dont know why all of a sudden he wants to visit his kids. I guess I laid a big enough guilt trip on him but I realize that I dont want to guilt him into seeing his kids .

Ok and lets not forget ppl....Im the victim in all of this. NOT HIM . He's the one who ran out on me and our kids. I didn't do anything to him . I was not like this before I met him ! I pull my weight with parenting . Im not the perfect parent and who is?! How many surburban housewives drown thier sorrows in alcohol or other sordid activities ? I dont drink or do drugs. I just have a habit of venting online because it's my sound box so to speak ..Should I be using the internet as therapy ? Probaly not but I did so because I felt I was pretty anynomous.

Also I wish you all would stop talking about my kids. My kids are FINE. They are healthy and happy kids. I dont expose them to my drama with thier dad . If you guys called CPS on me I honestly would not care because my kids are not being abused or neglected . They are clean ,fed,dress VERY well , go to school everyday and have a TON of toys . I recently put my dd in dance classes when she expressed an interest in wanting to be a ballerina . I may be just "going through the motions" because Im depressed but Im not a mental case. I know right from wrong . I know not to ever take my frustration with my life out on my kids. If they were being neglected thier schools would not hesitate to call the authorities. Im actually pretty close to my son's teacher and she knows Im depressed. It's not my fault that Im depressed . I cant control that.

Expect for physically abusing him. You said in the other thread that you used to try to beat the crap out of him.

Or have you already forgotten that you told us that?

The victims in this are your children - not you.

Of COURSE he contacted you!!

No, you are not the victim. Your children are.

I have a very low tolerance for BS and drama queens, so I'm out.

Good luck to you OP. You need it.
