OI Dadsgirl!![emoji2] hang in there, it does get better, try prioritising the things you have to do and keep a diary of what you have done and to record what has been done by the people that are supposed to be helping you.
It seems like you might have some anxiety or depression,, it sounds like unpleasant things are happening to those around you and as a result it's your shoulder they are crying on, the problem is that you might need one to cry on, or at least a shoulder of someone you can talk to.
Since my op in may I have suffered not just from repeated infections and constant pain from the op, but from depression and anger at what the surgeons have done. A few years ago I suffered from PTSD and clinical depression and anxiety. I beat it with the help from my wife and understanding from the kids, luckily my wife is ex Army and the kids watched a documentary, while I was in hospital. It was a few years ago and the documentary was about the effects of depression, anxiety, ptsd and the many other psychological problems of serving in Northern Ireland.
I have noticed I have been sleeping erratic hours, waking up, off my food and switching from sad to euphoric feelings.
I made an appointment to see my doc next week, I don't particularly want pills, just someone else to talk to, wether it be my doctor or a counsellor. I beat depression once before and can do it again.
I hope this has helped a bit and things start to improve for you very quickly.
Good luck
Dear Queensman,
Thank you so much for caring and sharing your story also. Things have simmered down a bit, thankfully! The "energy zappers" in my life, well I just keep them further and further away with each passing day. They're still twenty things to get done. They will be done in my time. Grand baby is good...good! Anxiety you say??? Hahahaha!!! Oh yes! But there's always going to be this or that. We will live through them. Be the stronger for it too.
