PMS in a Handbasket--Don't be afraid, just bring us food... Part 13

[Tiffer]

Good Morning it is Flippin COLD!!!! I am on the phone dealing with some twit over Jenna's brokerage account! I am ready to rip my hair out of my head, strand by strand.

I understand cutting your meds... just give your Dr. a call. Please.

Ok, forget what I said. Just let me introduce myself.

Hello, My name is POT. It's nice to meet you, kettle.

Of course I KNOW how right you are...I'm also the one who is many months late scheduling a neuro appt. I am a painfully honest person, though, and I have a feeling in person I wouldn't be able to not tell the truth. It's one thing not volunteering the information, but if he asks me outright if I'm still on the Topamax, I'm toast. And I want to neuro dr to take over this foot issue (my internist is currently handling it), so it will mean an appt with him soon.

Very true, but this one is not a well thought out decision...totally emotional, P, not logical at all.

In that case, WTH are you thinking???????

It's clearly not working for its intended use, T, mine is working, and you've been with yours longer.

But I am not a dr. and not pretending to be one. Do let the neuro know what you're doing is my advice.

Kids are back. Gotta go.

You guys really do help ground me.

 

[Tigger&Belle]

P, how is yours working if you're having headaches every day?

 

[imsorry]

Oh crap, I forgot it was Snarky Tuesday!!! I will go stand in the corner until I am appropriately cranky and then come back and be rude and obnoxious!!!

 

[Tigger&Belle]

Im, what's the deal with Messenger? That should get you good and cranky.

Wow, I totally forgot Snarky Tuesday as well! I was seriously contemplating about posting that my cold is a little better today and I'm in a good mood!

You need to think of a good, snarky thread for today!

T&B I posted on your email thread.


I just want to yell at someone or something. My poor kids. My emotions are all over the place today.

That's gonna be a challenge, because I really do feel good today , but I'll think about it.

Now see, 3Ps here has her act together for Snarky Tuesday. I don't know why I just can't seem to pull it together!

OMG - it's hopeless. I can't seem to get the "instant" part. Then my computer started replicating the webpage over and over - I panicked, thought it was a virus and shut down the computer. The page was opened about 42 times at that point!

I really scared of it now - and it says I have pop up blocker, which I am afraid to turn off.

Oh, in the snarky vein - what's up with that biatchy tag fairy? Donating two out of three tags isn't good enough for her?

Wow, I'm really starting to feel the snark!! And I wish I could go to the meet next week; but I'm not ready to travel alone yet. (Pathetic at my age, I know).

Now I'm ready for a big old pity party

 

[LBelle]

Goooood Morning!!!

OK, so here's my Pity-Party-Tuesday story. I just really need to vent about this. Not looking for pity, guys... just... I don't know how to feel about all of this, and I'm hoping just writing it all out will make me feel better.

I have a sister who is 15 months younger than me. She has always been a little... off. I always blamed it on her excessive drug use, but she was recently diagnosed as bipolar. It explains a lot about her. Anyway, for some reason a few years ago, she decided she didn't really like me anymore. I have no idea why, and she completely denies it when I bring it up and try to talk to her about it. It breaks my heart, and I've done everything I know how to do to try and mend this mysterious problem between us.

So fast forward to last year... toward the end of last year, she found out she has cervical cancer that is quickly spreading throughout her body. She has made the choice not to seek treatment, but she also doesn't want anyone to know about it. She only told our other sister, who told me. She's also been in some legal trouble, and moved out of state to avoid a warrant for her arrest (over a lawsuit from an accident). Now she lives in another state with her ex-husband and daughter, and has no contact with me. I did speak to all of them on Christmas, but it was strained.

Last week my other sister went to visit her. She's currently on meds for her bipolar disorder, but, according to our other sister, seemed depressed. My other sister came home on Wednesday. Thursday, my out-of-state sister wrote letters to her daughter, her ex-husband, my mother, my other sister, and added one in for the paramedics (but none for me), and took 57 painkillers. Her daughter found her when she came home from school and called 911. The paramedics picked her up, ignored her "please do not revive me" letter, and took her to the hospital. It was a fight, but they saved her. She's now in a mental health facility.

I do not believe this was a cry for help. I believe she fully intended to end her life. Sadly, I can understand getting to that point in life where that seems to be the only option. I know my sister, and I know when she gets out, she'll try again.

I found out about this last night. A full 4 days after the fact. My sister is denying contact with me.

I have so many emotions about this entire situation. I'm sad, hurt, confused, and most of all angry.

So anyway, that's why I'm having a bad day.

 

[1Prince2Princesses]

Geez, that was long, guys. Sorry.

 

[LiteBrite]

Robin, I'm so sorry. I had a mentally ill brother and I understand. I'll be praying for you and your sister.

 

[hiwaygal]

wow, Robin...I'm so sorry you are dealing with this.
