Just feeling down



Recommended Posts

Just having one of those days when I feel so depresswd for no real reason. Have to try really hard to keep it together at work, but had to take a few breaks tp go to the bathroom for a cry break. Have no desire to eat really. And just feeling so lonely. Also found out my almost ex husband is dating someone. We haven't even started any divorce processes yet and that just ripped me up inside. Kills me to see how happy he is without me. Been drowning my sorrows in some old favorite shows on Netflix.

Don't know why I posted really just have nobody to talk to.

I am so sorry you're feeling down. Life definitely has a way of knocking us down sometimes. Try to remember that you are not worth any less because your ex is seeing someone else. She's not better, just different. You will need time to come to terms with everything; divorce is a life-changing event that most people need therapy to get over. Focus on taking good care of yourself. Eat well, try to get some exercise, get enough sleep and keep telling yourself that this will not last forever. You will feel better. Just don't give up.

I am so sorry to hear you're going through this. I went through a similar situation years ago ( my now ex-husband was cheating , I found out our newborn was born with a devastating rare genetic disorder and I was also diagnosed with a couple medical conditions -nothing life threatening but definately life altering ( all within a 3 month period) . Hand s down the worse time of my life. Counseling helped me through it.

10 years later I got remarried, HAPPILY, I might add and although my daughter is disabled she is happy and relatively healthy.

This too shall pass.

In the meantime, continue to reach out. It's important to talk about it and please consider counseling.

Hí everybody.

Im feeling down. Ressonância ? My surgery is scheduled for aug16 , just last friday the nurses from my bariatric Doctor and my regular doctor were not communicating with each other and s not papers for the insurance last Friday. I asked how long takes for them to know they said 7 to 10 days . On top of that I have bronchitis Andrew I'm I. Treatment but I called today my regular doctor and he can't see me until the 19 of August. So I'm at loss , I don't think I can have surgery with bronchitis.don know what to do. Maybe go yo an emergency room to be treated for it? Feeling very down and without medical support :-(

@@LizHobbs It probably won't take 7 to 10 days for approval - so just stay positive! Your PCP should be able to see you for a sick visit within 24 hours - that's typically what they contract with insurance to provide to patients. The 19th is not acceptable. You may want to call your surgeon's office and ask what they recommend you do about the bronchitis. Depending on where you live, you could go to an Urgent Care or a walk-in. It is highly doubtful they will operate if you still have a respiratory infection. Talk to the nurse at your surgeon's office and see what they can do to help. Stay strong!!!

      On day 4 of the 2 week liquid pre-op diet. Surgery scheduled for June 11th.
      Soooo I am coming to a realization
      of something and I'm not sure what to do about it. For years the only thing I've enjoyed is eating. We rarely do anything or go anywhere and if we do it always includes food. Family comes over? Big family dinner! Go camping? Food! Take a short ride or trip? Food! Holiday? Food! Go out of town for a Dr appointment? Food! When we go to a new town we don't look for any attractions, we look for restaurants we haven't been to. Heck, I look forward to getting off work because that means it's almost supper time. Now that I'm drinking these pre-op shakes for breakfast, lunch, and supper I have nothing to look forward to.  And once I have surgery on June 11th it'll be more of the same shakes. Even after pureed stage, soft food stage, and finally regular food stage, it's going to be a drastic change for the rest of my life. I'm giving up the one thing that really brings me joy. Eating. How do you cope with that? What do you do to fill that void? Wow. Now I'm sad.

        Life as a big person had limited my life to what I knew I could manage to do each day. That was eat. I hadn't anything else to look forward to. So my eating choices were the best I could dream up. I planned the cooking in managable lots in my head and filled my day with and around it.

        Now I have a whole new big, bigger, biggest, best days ever. I am out there with those skinny people doing stuff i could never have dreamt of. Food is now an after thought. It doesn't consume my day. I still enjoy the good home cooked food but I eat smaller portions. I leave food on my plate when I am full. I can no longer hear my mother's voice saying eat it all up, ther are starving children in Africa who would want that!

        I still cook for family feasts, I love cooking. I still do holidays but I have changed from the All inclusive drinking and eating everything everyday kind to Self catering accommodation. This gives me the choice of cooking or eating out as I choose. I rarely drink anymore as I usually travel alone now and I feel I need to keep aware of my surroundings.

        I don't know at what point my life expanded, was it when I lost 100 pounds? Was it when I left my walking stick at home ? Was it when I said yes to an outing instead of finding an excuse to stay home ? i look back at my last five years and wonder how loosing weight has made such a difference. Be ready to amaze yourself.

        BTW, the liquid diet sucks, one more day and you are over the worst. You can do it.

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!
