I am- Overwhelmed & Traumatised I need your support!!

Unknown userMember15 Apr 2018, 4:51 am AEST

I am- Overwhelmed & Traumatised I need your support!!

I have realised why I am like I am, I have had one traumatic life changing experience after another in my life. I looked in the mirror & went into shock as I didn't recognize myself. I have been running on near empty now for many years. The whole experience which led up to the Major life saving Spinal Surgery, which I had 15 month ago, has drained & frightened me so much that I am concerned about everything now. My family & any friends I ever had are distant, & have no sincere care or understanding for me, they do not care. I am all alone & not knowing what to do about anything, the nitmares, anxiety attackes, & feelings of not coping, can be crippling? Can you understand & relate to what I have shared, & would you like to help in some way, by sharing anything that I can use too, that will help?

Thank you,

Bella

Re: I am- Overwhelmed & Traumatised I need your support!!

@Former-Member when i was talking to my nurse today, she has suggested a test to do. it is rather invasive but it might give me answers.
however i am worried of what they will find. if they find what they are suspecting it also means i probably wont be able to have kids either if that time ever arose. however would be more manageable with medications again wouldnt be able to have kids)
i dont really know what to do.
im trying to work out if getting the test done and getting answers (or not) is worth it or to just keep persisiting with it but it is mucking around with my hormones alot to.

im not really sure if this is making any sense at all 😕

@outlander xo

You made perfect sense to me, I had a similar dilemma, after finding out about the Serious Spinal damage, & I was given a choice by the Neurosurgeon. I was so confused, frightened, stunned, & shocked, all at the same time. I had been over 12 months with the most agonizing pain, & symptoms, that I honestly have never know of in my life. I could have waited longer, & not gone through the surgery, att.

I know how hard it is to make such a life changing decision no matter what the health issue is, it still boils down to, what choice & why. From what you just wrote, if I were going through the same as you are, it would be a hard decision to make. It's all about what is best for your health, rite now, as far as I'm concerned, what will keep you safest.

Waiting, I do not believe is the rite choice, if you are meant to have children one day, you will. Rite now, your MH, & overall well being needs to be sorted out for your safety, & health. Now, the choice is yours ok, I am telling you what I believe, as I have been through the worse close call in my life, & I am glad I never let it go on any longer, as I can see the damage by leaving medical emergence, far too long. It's hard I know, trust in the ones who know best, & say a little pray to your, Higher Power (God) for healing, how ever healing comes.Then let go & let them do what will give you some form of healing, & knowledge, in some way, so your body, & mind, can rest, & be at peace, even if it's it only to do with this challenge in your life atm!

I LOVE You sincerly, & with all my heart outlander, & don't forget it!xoxoxoxo

Re: I am- Overwhelmed & Traumatised I need your support!!

thank you @Former-Member i guess you are right. im pretty scared though. its hard because i want to know but i dont know if i want to know at the same time..
if i can work out what is wrong with me itll stop my guessing. there are some concerning symptoms which also affects my mental health like not having a cycle for 3/4 months at a time so the hormones build up and quite horrific cramping. my nurses is quite concerned and i do trust her..

i see the gp in 2 weeks so will talk to her then as she is the one who orders the ultrasounds, bloods etc so i might meantion it to her. if its what they suspect i can go on tablets to either stop or make things more regular and 'normal' in other aspects too.

Guess what the time is? 3:28 AM

I am awake, why? because I needed the Ladies room! 🙂

Outlander, I did not have a nigtemare, or a bad dream, & I am not upset, sad, in agony, or can not sleep (even tho I am awake) Duh!

This is wonderful, to be me again! I did most of what I planned to do yesterday to help myself, & your love, & encouagement, & care for me, plus my SFF, & the love in the CT, from my SFF. Has/is healing me, I believe, you are my Earthly Angel! xoxo 🙂

Thank you for leaving me a heart/love, I thought I would come have a little peak in SF, before going back to sleep, as I am ready to continue relaxing, in my bed with my Fur Babies all snuggled around me, purring like kittens. The sound that they make is so beautiful, & healing, to me.

My prayers are getting answered, & so quickly. I don't think I could have handled another nitemare, & waking up all warn out, & hurting again, so soon. 😞

I do hope that you are sleeping, & dreaming gentle loving dreams? I am sending my good & sincere, love & intentions, to you now, in prayer outlander my love!

Talk/type, soon! xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx & More!

Love & Hugs!

Bella 🙂 @>-->-->-------------- & 11 more!
