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

Hi @Former-Member
i have a funny feeling that i may have upset you, please let me know if i have....
if it is better for me to take that step back then please do let me know, i only want what is best for you.
i say this becasue i genuinly care and i wouldnt like to be making your time here uncomfortable etc. I could be way off the mark at the moment though because of my own state but i guess if i dont ask i wont know.

@outlander

Not really, I suppose we all grow up at some stage, I must be growing up a tad, I think?? I hope I don't grow too old though. I don't suit old, never have & never will!

You are doing ok keep getting well, & have some fun for goodness sake. I do when I'm not getting over-blinking-whelmed!! At least my prayers got answered quickly this time, because for once I am starting to learn to listen, & learn!! Amen!

Now go, & have a lovely day!

Love & Hugs!

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

afternoon @Former-Member
tomorrow isnt the actual surgury, this one is all the assessment, xrays, other tests they run and talking about when itll be etc so quite alot of discussion tomorrow arvo. im trying to work out train time tables atm. by the looks of it im either going to be an hr early or right on time, im thinking the hr early on might be better than we dont have to rush off the train, goes for delays etc.

are you going ok this arvo?

@outlander

I tried to leave you a message this afternoon outlander, but had so many things stopping me from doing so, I do apologize. I am in bed now & its 10:47 PM, my left hand is hurting bad atm, I will have to sort this pain out very soon. I need sleep, so I will not stay on after I type this to you. I hope all goes well tomorrow at the Doctors, I suppose it's easy for me to say that, if it were me I would be little upset. I do have to have Dental work done soon, but not an operation on my teeth like you are poor sweetheart.

Anyway, you have all of us here to love & support you when you have the operation, maybe you will not want to talk with your gums being sore. At least typing will be more suitable for you att. You & I sure get dished out so much crap, with our health hey, don't we now. I suppose its just a part of being alive, sheesh!!

Ok off to take my meds now & try & sleep without bad dreams!!!

Love & Hugs!

Bella xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx & More!

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

You've nothing to apologise for @Former-Member not a thing.
Im sorry your hands giving your grief, hopefully some pain relief and sleep will help. A heat pack can be helpful too if youve got one of those....

Tomorrow is the consult ao lots of questions being asked and explained by the surgeon as well as myself. Itll be a rather big day but it has to be done. It was upsetting me earlier just really anxious about it. Im hoping the surgury though will be sooner rather tha later so i can get better quicker.
Im glad you wont need surgical intervention for your teeth! Its really awful.
Thanks for thinking of me. Your often in my thoughts too and wondering how your going and coping with everything.

Goodnight @Former-Member i hope you can sleep peacefully and tomorrow is less pained
💜❤💛💙❣💌
