I'm  in the middle of my cleaning.Cleaning the kitchen, clorox the counters, sweep the floors,vacume the carpet. I do mop every other day, and have dinner on the table. It's the least I can do for my wife when she is the one who work. I went to the clinic today for my blood test.They asked how I was. Itold her that I was having strange thought, but I had my boy with me so I told her I did't want to talk right now. I'm thinking of calling her But I'm afraid they will want me to go to the hospital. I don't feel that it has gotten that bad.

Copster - if it helps any , I don't think they will put you in hosp for strange thoughts , it's only when the behaviour of a patient starts to become strange that it's time to think about that , or , if you're not coping........you seem pretty level headed to me so I think your best bet is to tell them , they're there to help.

Let us know how you go ,

Hi Cop

You are very skilled, I do nothing to help out with the cleaning. It's not that I can't do it, I'm just too lazy. You asked to be told something to make you feel good, so here goes.

You have a wife that loves you. You have a wife to love. You have a son that loves you. You have a son to love. You have a kitchen to clean. You have floors to sweep. You have carpets to vacuum.

Hope that helps.

The nurse has already called today. I could'nt answer the phone. I just don't want to admit I am struggling. I alsodon't want to consider a med change but that is something I don't want to try to mess with. I have all the cleaning done for today. My wife get's off early one day a week. Today is the day. I'll talk to ya'll later. Peace of the lord.

All I can say is this - if you don't tell them it's broken , how can they fix it.

I admire you for your good house keeping , sometimes I just can't handle it :-)

My mother used to tell me when I was growing,"all I wanted you to be a functoinal human being."  So it is very hard for me since I don't have a job. I have 2 older brothers and an older sister. I am the youngest. I keep comparing myself with them. All are colege educated. I was the only one, in my extended family, to not graduate high school. I keep living in the past, I will never be good enough

Here's something for you to think about.....

“Success is not to be measured by the position someone has reached in life, but the obstacles he has overcome while trying to succeed.”

Booker T. Washington

Just be yourself the best way you know how :-)

Thanks for the advise. I stopped going to the therapist because I don't have anything to say. Sure I have things to talk about, but I don't want to admit it. This has been a great forum for me to tell what is happening. I am afraid I am going to say somthing to land me in a place where I don't want to be.

Today I have found out what I want to be in my life.I want to be an old wise man. I have lived a vary passive person. I have never gotten in a fight. Dad always said, if you can walk away, you're a bigger man. Sure I got called a lot of names and even been hit a few times. Nobody deserves to be hit. In our house with my 4 year old we wrestle, he is getting good with those submition hold.PEACE OF THE LORD.

A wise man , yes......old? No - you're only 39 cool You are right to walk away , and yes no-one deserves to be hit.....you put me in mind of Mahatma Gandhi......

I'm glad you have a good time with your son...they grow up so quickly these days tongue

Here I am again, waiting to start cleaning.I don't Know if my wife has been reading my messages. If she is that is fine. I'm scared that I am going to say something that is too deep. I have to talk to my dad to see if he could watch the boy while I go to check out the new treatment center in our county, thank goodness. If I decide to go in , that puts pressure on my dad to watch the boy day after day. My dad is 71, and I don't think he has to watch the boy day after day. I am so glad I have the relationship that I have with my parents. There was a time that my dad and I didn't even say hello as we past each other in the hall. I have often told my parents that I am sorry for what I have done. I was telling a friend about my parent and every time I leave, I give my mom and dad a kiss each time I leave. My freindasked me, "you kiss your dad on the lips?" That is my dad. My parent instilled in me to keep going and if I am having a problem they stand behind me. My boy needs a game change on his play station. We are going to go race and of course I always end up the loser. PEACE OF THE LORD.
