hi, my screen name is display.

it is hard for me to write this. i have been feeling like i am "too much' for people. always with some anxiety or depression to deal with. i am thinking about seeing my psychiatrist and asking for my meds to be adjusted. it is just not right to be this depressed and angry all the time.

but i am sick of doctor appointments and constantly worry that i'm taking too much time off from work, even though i know others have taken off time too.

i am sick of having issues with my teeth. i have my denture - which i just got refit - so thankfully that part of my life is taken care of for a while. but now i am having an issue with my periodontal tray. i probably need to see the periodontist and get a new one fitted.

just sick of going to the doctor.

i am aware that my life doesn't really contain more problems than most people, i just can't seem to keep up with the problems and it always feels like another thing going wrong.

my car is making a loud squeaking noise. i think it is the fan belt. i will need to ask my sister to come with me to the repair shop and give me a ride to work, and then take me to pick it up at the end of the day. she is coming home from a trip today. i am dreading telling her about the car problem, afraid she will get mad. i get ashamed and embarrassed about having car problems, worried about what other people will think of me, that i am a loser.

i slept 13 hours last night, it usually means something is up with me when i do this. i just feel overwhelmed by life.

of course it is the weekend and i wish i were having some good times. but everything seems like a drag today.

thanks for listening,

Display,

You are not a loser. So don't even go there... You are just having everyday problems and it is a little overwhelming. Take them one at a time as they come. It will get easier. The more that you do, the more that you are able to do.

Don't put yourself down. You are right, we all go through this. If it isn't one thing, it is another. That is life. But it doesn't have to be overwhelming. Though sometimes it is. That doesn't make you weak... It makes you human...

Hang in there sweetie. Things will get better and they will become easier. Go with the most important things first. Being your mental health. Get started on that. Take care of the car when the time comes. Hopefully it is just a belt that needs to be adjusted.

Keep trying. Don't give up. And don't beat yourself up.

Hugs, Karen...

Display, we all have car problems, hard to avoid them, machines break down eventionaly that is why there are garages to repair them. It is not your fault!!

Perhaps you could benefit from a therapist, Karen and I both see one and it is very benefitial. therapists help you place the anger in the right direction and understand where it comes from and why we have so much of it.

I hope you feel better soon Display. Glad to hear you dentures are fitting better. One hurdle out of the way. Good job.

Peace
Trina
