Worst week ever

So I have decided to have weight loss surgery. I end up getting into an argument with my best friend about it and we decided to split ways. He has been my best friend for 17 years. I am a very emotional person so this is very hard for me. Logically I know it is best because when I really need him he is never there but it is still hard. I am stressing about the surgery. I am having money trouble. My hours got changed so I had to work today and my husband had a Monday off which never happens. I have had the worst migraine of my life since Thursday. I know I am just having a pity party and I should just snap out of it but I am so miserable. Thanks for listening.

I didn't mean to post off topic but I think it actually is on topic because he said I am stressing him out. I think the way I was stressing him out was by being sick. I was careful not to tell him about it unless he brought it up. But you guys know this year I have gotten like five new dx. My life revolves around being sick. That is why I am having the weight loss surgery my doctors feel it will help my pain.

Vent away, friend, vent away. That's a lot to deal with, you have my sympathy and empathy.

Hope things can improve in some or all of these areas for you in your life.

Thank you everyone. I haven't been around. My stress and pain from that are just building and building. I am having a panic attack everyday. My doctor told me to increase Ativan to one a day plus BT. I am really upset because I cannot think clearly and it is interfering with my work. People at work are making excuses for me that I am just mixing things up because I am thinking about my surgery. I feel like I have lost part of who I am. My intelligent was one of the few things I liked about myself.

I guess it has been the most stressful year of my life. Five new dxs. Moms nervous breakdown. Best friend issues. My dad adopting step sisters baby. Weight loss surgery. severe flare of UC. MIL who lives with us losing her job. I could go on and on. But I am really worried about this fog. Is it the meds, stress, fibro, uctd? I went to my PCP and she took one of lyrica away because I thought that might be a problem and to lower my stress told me to actually take my prescribed ativan. Also wrote my husband a rx for a date night. lol

I can relate Sherrie, I sometimes find myself so stressed, anxious, upset that I just don't feel like interacting with anyone...even those online :(

And the date night sounds great! Sometimes we just have to get away...

This place is really great...and I suggest trying to come on here once a day...even if just to lurk and read how everyone is doing.

Knowing you aren't alone helps tremendously. Believe me. :)

Sorry to read of your many compounding troubles, vent away - it may help clear the air, and keep on hoping for the best ahead.

Sherrie, so sorry your having to deal with so much right now. I know when my life became so much more about this pain journey and my mobility issues became complicated many of my old friends stopped coming around. I could nolonger do the kinds of things we had always done together! Some said they just never knew what to say to me or how to treat me and you know what? That's their flaw and had nothing whatsoever to do with me.

Once I started making friends with like abilities I found I really didnt need the kind of people in my life that were uncomfortable around me and couldn't understand living life different didnt mean I was different. I was still the same person!

We all go thru so many bumps and pitfalls dealing with CP and although there's times they seem bigger then we are we somehow always come out the other side and are stronger for having gone thru it.

Talking it out, spilling the emotional hurt out into the air decreases it's worth.

I hope you and your friend can work it out but if you cant there's a place now in your life for a new friend.
