the longest wait while being petrified

the longest wait while being petrified

So on wednesday I went to see my gp about a skin spot I was finding to be quite suspicious and the news turned out to be not what I expected.
They want the spot surgically removed urgently as in tuesday unless others cancel and i can get in earlier. They want the whole thing and as it looks like its spreading already they want more than just the top taken off then if it comes back malignanat more tests to see how far its spread then removed those areas


the worrying part is i dont know how long its been there for and because ive noticed it change twice its a very bad sign. Unintentionally coming off her was fear. Fear from others makes me worse and she was sending off alot of that. She pointed out 2 other points that she noticed that are really not good and are often seen in skin cancers.

Im so scared and it seems like tuesday is taking forever to get here. Its really not easy to sit with and accept. Im bloody pertrified!

Re: the longest wait while being petrified

Anesthetics are a strong drug that, must be understood for their after effects on all of us when used for operations. You body wants more & can not have them so its going to react on you mentally & you already are dealing with mental overload on a daily basis.
There is no magic pill to make life go away. I say that with care to be a friend. You are trying to recover from Skin Cancer removal, its very early days & apart from overthinking & adding to your thoughts with negative feelings towards people that are not your true friends. Confronting anyone at this time is never going to work, as conflict will feed pain.
Reading what you shared to me makes me see that you possibly are wanting to do too much to overcome too much stored adrenaline. You asked me for suggestions, stop trying to do too much, & do just something without thinking about the fruit salad of thoughts you are having. If you have an exercise bike don't think about I don't want to, & just sit on it & cycle until you're worn out. Run around your room until you cant anymore. Get a pillow & put it on your bed & imagine its the feelings you don't like & then let the pillow have it until you drop. You need to wear yourself out @outlander. You got far too much energy emotional, & physical, & you're thinking far too much.
The op is going to hurt until it stops hurting. The friends are going to say what ever they like no matter what you don't want them to say.
Today is going to happen until tomorrow takes over.
I'm in pain that will not go away no matter what I do or think.
Your pain looks like to me will go away when healed.
Until things are in their right order & at the appointed time, they will be as they are meant to be.
What ever will be, will be! amen 🙂
I hope I helped you, now just do it! or don't do it the choice is yours Ok ?
Luv U
Bella xo 🙂

@Sans911

wow! Was not expecting that. You have really just described a lot of what I was feeling when I couldnt identify it myself! upset, irritation, frustration, anxious, low, need an escape, all those things into one!

I have accepted that I need to rest but I cant rest forever. After the weekend my sisters go back to school which will help a great deal. Im planning on getting back into my exercise resigme. Ive got my treadmill and exercise bike so I can stop and start as I please. I find exercise with my anxiety so im looking forward to getting back into that.

Hmm Im thinking these 'friends' of mine arent really friends like they say they are. Since they replaced me. And I do mean replace because they have scrapped me and the things that we had organised upcoming they have taken me off and put this other person on there and have scrapped me all together. So im gthering not. Its hard for me to make friends and I trusted these people an this is what I get. I guess I no longer matter to them and have to move on from that.

I can hardly extend my arm out let alone drive. Im hoping it settles like the last lot after a few days then I can drive more or at least one handed better but know that I can still use my right when I need it. But they are good suggestions so will write those down as ideas to do. Thanks.

Writing I like to do so maybe somewhere quiet or sit near the beach at a bench or something and try and write something if I can find a beach near me that arent over run by dogs that is as I usually sit in my car. I guess I could still do that as well as even being in the car near there helps.

Thank you for the sister hugs. I really do appreciate them. I often think you and a few other close members are with me. Sometimes its like your really here if I set my mind to it.
So thank you

hmm are you saying that my body is craving that drug? Or going into withdrawals or something?

I dont want life to go away, I just want a few less challenges and pain. I know youve written further down you meantioned that when im healed ill be pain free. That is true in one aspect. Itll get rid of this pain that I have now with surtures and healing skin but I do have other conditions that are chronic and are painful. I have been diagnosed with a slipped disk in my neck as well as it started to have degeneration all ready. I also have mild scoliosis however it is enough to be slightly noticeable and causes pain. I have sciatica as well as strange hip that goes with the scoliosis though and it requires chiropractic treatment. I have regular chiropractice and massage care for my back and neck. I also have a foot injury that will have 2 permanently torn ligaments and a torn tendon because it was never treated properly and its took late to do anything for except for manage the pain and it also has a form of arthritis in it. So yes while theses will heal and the pain from these will go I wont be able to get rid of the rest of the conditions and are chronic. I dont have it as bad as you have and im aware of that but wanted to let you know that I understand chronic pain despite being young.

Confrontations I avoid, I dont like at all and right now your right if I go at them itll make my pain so much more worse than it needs to be. The more distress the worse the pain and ive learnt that from the first set of sutures and life in general. If it keeps up though I find they are still going behind my back I will be speaking to them if it gets worse. The things they are doing now are very irritiating and honestly I think they are putting too much effort in to make me notice but its working so im trying to ignore them but the first initial response is depression. I dont know why, I very rarely get angry at anyone or anything.

Yes I asked you for suggestions because I like and want your input so thank you.
When the weekend is up itll be a lot easier to start doing things because right now I dont have room to yell or exercise. I physically have to pull everything out but when the kids are at school for most of the day it can just stay on the porch but not right now so will have to get pop to get them out for me because I know I cant do it. Frustration sigh..
anything else that I can do that you can think of that gets rid of adrenaline beside yelling and screaming and physically punching a pillow- not sure if thats wise at this point and all my exercise stuff is away and no room in the house to just run.
This is frstrating let me tell you because what I should be able to do I cant because its too damn corwded and im not sure of your time but its 8pm here and dark so not going back out now.

can you please explain abit more about what you mean when you say' possibly doing too much to overcome too much stored energy' ?

Hi @outlander,

Soory just got home after a very busy day. Haven't had a chance to read back and catch up yet. How are you going?

Re: the longest wait while being petrified

Adrenaline is a flight or fight response, was very useful in the early times of mans creation. Or should we be in an unfortunate situation were its fight or die.
In this modern have it all world, we all have far too much stored Adrenaline which has no were to go in a hurry, so it becomes our worse enemy should we need to release it naturally, so as that we can calm down, & receive the hormones that heal which GOD has given us in this/our magnificent masterpiece/temple, our body. 🙂
I am sure you have no addiction to the effects of Anesthetics. That would be impossible given the short amount of time & use you had need for them recently, so do not worry about it, ok?
But the use for the purpose of a pain free operation, causes such a sudden change to our body that is not the normal, causes many side effects as Doctors warn all of us about before any operation?
I think too much most times & I am Analytic very much so, & this can be something I must keep in check, or I get anxiety attacks from Chronic pain being fired up by my thoughts.
I am being honest & caring towards you even if you see me as getting tough with you?
I want the best for you @outlander & being a MHW doesn't just go away, no matter what my health issues are.
I understand & already know about other injuries you have that unfortunately you are stuck with, just like I am. I fell from the top step down 12 cement steps on to the tared road in Sydney, landed on my hands & knees.
I ripped my right knee rite through tough new denim jeans blood all over. I got up looked stunned then I walked away without going to Hospital. I was so strong & tough from weight training for years. I never imagined that I had wreaked my whole body from that fall, but I did 😞
Now you rolled with a horse on top of you, am I correct?
You & I have such similar injuries, we both have a sorta similar personality?
I believe I understand you more than you think I do.
I am not overlooking your permanent pain both Emotional & Physical' . I mentioned that I have pain that will not go away, because I am suffering silently here yet feeling very much for your situation & wanting to help with what I feel in your words that may bless you, if you feel the same way about it. I honestly am just hanging in there for my animal babies here as if I can not support them they will be put down.
I don't want to say anything negative against your family, its not my place to do so. I am not mingling with my family yet I need their hep so bad. They drive me up the wall & around the bend with their selfishness & lack of support. Oh Donna you depress me with your problems, bye.
When I had my life or death or fully Paralysed outcome operation last September only Cheryl cared 5 others never even sent a get well card & all my so called friends of many years did not want to know me. I only had Ron from Florida who showed me care.
I never even had after care I looked after myself. GOD was & has been my only companion Spiritually & GOD wants me to love all. I always have loved so much it hurts.
I feel for you more than you realize ok? But I can not do it for you & if Sans & Nell are sweeter & have much more to give you then I am happy & that's all I want for you is some help to be the person you know you are in your heart ok?
We are all flesh & blood & we all bleed.
I am dropping here from my own problems & I have not had proper sleep for weeks as I can not come off my pain meds like I wanted to. I need to pick myself up or I will get stuck down & my babies need me, & I'm not old I'm just overloaded with my own problems & forgetting about them is the only way I can cope at the moment. My heart is open to you should you want to sit with me in our secret place & just relax & let go & let GOD! AMEN
My Love & Hugs Always!
Bella XXOO 🙂

@Former-Member
thank you for responding. I know it takes a lot out of you and im really grateful I am and im not sure if words are enough. Sorry im asking a lot of questions, as you know I dont have anyone offline either and im having trouble comprehnding things atm. If its too much at the moment im more than happy to leave it.

Ok so thank you for explaing the adrenaline bit, its made it abit more clearer to what we are really talking about, im not worried about having an addiction. I already know what im addicted to and its a very unhealthy habit yet extremely hard to break. Getting better though so not to worry.

It just sounded like the way you were expaining it, it was coming across to me as I my body was craving it again like an addiction so maybe I wasnt using the right terms either.

The operattion after effects werent really explained in MH terms, they explaned the process and the waiting and what they are doing and the after care but not what the fall out could be for mental health.
I would rather you be honest, tough doesnt bother me because a lot of the times its a 'wake up' if that makes sense. Really makes me think about what to do or the next move or really what to think and what the person is trying to say and get across.

Oh wholy moly! That is not a good fall at all! You tough bloody woman you are!!
the horse didnt roll on me, just a bad fall, landed on my hands and knees and hit my head on the floor. I was ok too to start with and ended up getting u and walking the horse back. I thought I was going to die from embarrassmen and felt no pain. I felt numb- that shouldve been the first warning sign. Then I started loosing feeling and then went to hospital not long after that.

I care very much for you too Bella. I want to help you too, I dont know how to do that. Do you have a thread that we can come and help you on because I would really like to help you as well and I know mnay others here that would support you. I really do care for you too and I feel helpless and I have no idea how to help you. I can only give advice on what I know and what ive learnt from but I dont think it compares to what knowledge you have.

and yes our secret garden sound good, we can go there and drink tea and have some of those treats I put up in the thank you thread. Im not sure if youve seen that or not. Ive had a few likes but it only shows the last 2 people that liked it.
