Hey girls. I just wanted to call for your prayers, good vibes, and well wishes for a friend of ours here. I spoke with her today and she shared her news with me. I'm not going to go into any details but I wanted to let you know that Amethyst may be MIA for a short time. Please keep her in your thoughts and prayers and hopefully she'll be able to return to our ranks again soon.

Don't be worried. She is safe and will be cared for. She is lonesome for now.
Thanks all for the encouragement. I will pass it on.

Sorry about your folks...

I am so glad to see you back here, you've been missed.

Glad you are getting the help that you deserve and things are starting to look up.

Yeah this thing with my parents is so hard and is going to be even harder on my kids I just don't know what to do it has been making me very manic. Which I told the doctor yesterday and he thinks that it is nothing but stress. I just wish the had brought this on me in the hospital because it would have been a little easier to deal with but no they didn't. I am just so upset and have been crying I just am at the end of my ropes with my family I am almost about to say no family talk to me and I will be just with my husband and kids. I don't know what do you ladies think?

There's an old joke that says. Doc, it hurts when I do this. And the doctor responds, OK, don't do that.

If it bothers you to discuss family with anyone other than the doctor, then don't do it. Don't repress it completely, because that doesn't help you. But if people are just dumping on you, tell them to stop, that you have to think about yourself right now.

YOU are what is important, and your children.

Hi Amethyst- glad you're back among us. Sorry everything is so shitty for you. From what I read in your journal you need a break from your family. They seem to be immune to both your physical and mental pain. You need to take care of yourself first, then your kids, then your husband. Beyond that I don't think you have the energy for anyone else.

I agree with you all but it is harder said then done. I just need to focus better I guess. It's just so hard and then I wake up and the first phone call is from mom complaining about dad and my sister is ignoring me. I just don't know.

Maybe one thing you can do is give everyone a little notice, and say something like" tomorrow I'm turning off the phone. If you need anything, I'll talk to you the next day". And just have a day to recover.

And welcome back, Sweetie!!!! We missed you

Bummer for Amethyst. Looks like her computer is down for the time being. Sounds like it's her motherboard. Hopefully they can get it up and running again and we can see her regularly here again.

Hey guys my computer is messed up and I don't know when we are going to have the money to get a new one. I am supposed to be having surgery in the morning but I am very sick so I don't know that the doctor is going to do it. My life has been so hard lately. I appreciate all the prayers and support please keep them coming. I start to think things can't get worse and then they do all the time I just don't understand why I deserve all of this crap??????

Good luck, girl. I'm really hoping things get better for you and real soon. You sound like you've hit the end of your rope and are hanging by the knot.
Never underestimate the power of positive thinking...

I'm sorry to hear that you are having to go thorugh something like this, I too am dealing with a situation similar it is our son who is bipolar w/impulse control disorder. even with meds, our desire for a "normal " day ( no arguing, no fights, suicide attempts, law being called, hospital stays, dirty looks etc,etc,etc) looks real dim, (maybe in the future) the ones that do come along we cherish.

[QUOTE]I am just so upset and have been crying I just am at the end of my ropes with my family I am almost about to say no family talk to me and I will be just with my husband and kids. I don't know what do you ladies think?

My husband and I vowed to each other that if one of us needed to retreat to heal that we would cut ourselves off from whatever was causing the pain in the first place ...be it family, friends, co workers, whatever.
And once we had our feet back unders us to "withstand the friction from our families that we would allow them back in, BUT ONLY ON OUR TERMS, " if they tried to start anything they were asked to leave.
We are firm believers that you must heal yourself, first. it sounds as if you have a supporting husband, let him stand in front of you for a while until you get back on your feet. then, when you feel that you are ready, deal with family issues (they just might work themselves out).
Sorry, for rambling, but if you can understand my post perhaps it may help you.

God Bless you, my thoughts and prayers are with you and your family.
