I just need some1 2 talk 2 about me

you are not bothering us. maybe as a suggestion i feel it maybe a good thing to talk to your doctor about how you are feeling. have you thought about counselling? coming here is great, and welcome faithfully. we are here for you. others will say hi and welcome soon. don't be too hard on yourself. we care and understand. with healing compassion, jamie

Thx Jaimee and getting by. I slept a couple of hours and do not feel as low as i did earlier this morning. I do see a therapist once per month. He has been focusing on trying to help me sleep and pstd. Some days are harder. I had a bad wreck last year March, and since then, i have suffered wth constant severe pain through out most of my body. When I say constant, i really mean that i have been in pain each awakened moment, and even sometimes the pain wakes me up. Of course I take meds for it, zanaflex and tramadyl, they take the peak off. I am allergic to all anti-inflammatories; therefore, the injured areas remain swollen. Ive been hospitalized for the pain in my chest a few times because it shoots my blood pressure up, and with chf, that is very scary. ok.

Hello, Faithfully, and welcome to the Depression Forum,

I wish I could persuade you that the traumatic memory of the automobile accident will lessen as the years go by, and you will feel much, much better about the whole episode as you continue therapy. Be sure to talk about all the data pertaining to the accident with your psychiatrist so that it doesn't sink into your unconscious mind where it might leave some lingering guilt-ridden problem for you.

If you have nothing really good that you can think about yourself, you might consider this: someone loved you enough in His life to give up His life for you.  You are that important, for certain. Knowing that, could you begin to accept the fact that no matter what the circumstances are you are still a valuable person and that life would really like to have you join it with all its strengths and weaknesses?

Please get the psychiatric help you need to overcome the accident. Then, stay on the prescribed medications until you have sure-footing about how things are going to be later on. One day, you will look back and feel sorry for all the time you missed with good people who consider you a good friend--people whom you may not even have met yet.

I can't think of a better way to begin things than to expect the New Year to bring challenges to you that you may handle one at a time, even one day at a time if necessary, until things are smooth for you again.

Take care.

Hi kpainc,

Welcome to the depression forum. I am glad that your meds work for you. I take pristiq and abilify. It is a really good combination for me. Keep posting. Again, welcome to the depression forum...

Hugs, Karen

Dear Faithfully,

I hear your pain. I totally know how you feel. Many times we look for support, we look for a space, a place where there is compassion where we feel heard. I totally know how you feel because I have also desperately looked for what you are searching for.

I think it is wonderful that some very compassionate people have put this site: healingwell.com together so that people like you and I can find support and support each other.

Very recently I also went through many of the symptoms that you have described. I was having a lot of problems sleeping. I was constantly stressed. And my body was showing all kinds of unhealthy symptoms.

Since then, I have changed my physical circumstance so that I would not be as stressed. This seems to be working. I am sleeping a lot better. I feel more supported in my environment. And I have come to this forum to talk about my issues. I feel a lot more supported. This makes me feel good. I feel more positive and hopeful.

My best wishes to you in moving towards creating the peace in your life that I am working to create in mine. Please let me know if I can be of help in any way.
