>>> . . . I feel like I am starting to feel crazy out of control. The anger is back and all those horrible feelings of blah!! I am sorry I am spilling my beans but I just had to vent somewhere. Please if you all could just pray for me I would appreciate very much. I want to get better I thought I was doing better until this and some other crap has happened in the past few weeks and it has just really set me back a few steps . . . . .
>>>Hi NOTINSANE
It is absolutely understandable for you to feel stressed right now. Stressful events are happening to you, hon. Feeling sad or upset at sad or upsetting events is normal (God I hate that word, but I'm too tired to think of another.) It's when you feel sad or upset without a reason that you need extra help.
I'm sorry, I'm usually more eloquent than this, but what I'm trying to say is, your family just went through a stressful event (even though everyone is OK, it was still an EVENT for you all) and I'd be worried if you *weren't* upset. What I got out of your above post (especially the way you handled yourself, standing your ground with your husband without losing your temper or going to pieces) is that you actually did very well, given the circumstances. I know, I know it doesn't feel like it . . . but how do you think you'd be (stability wise) now it you weren't on your medication, and it had been, say, a bottle of Vioxx your son had gotten into?
I hope I am communicating that am *not* belittling your stress, but cheering for what appears to be an improvement in your strength and resiliency over what you've related to us recently. Prayers, you already got, but you can have more if you need 'em. :-)
Hugs OOOOOOOOOO
