new here...admitting out loud
« on: March 01, 2013, 02:04:54 AM »
Or in writing ive got health anxiety.  Mom had 2 different kinds of cancer and died from NSClung cancer despite being healthy.  Dad is a crazy hypochondriac ...example upon hearing my dog had to get charcoal treatments for eating 2 bags of chock chips instead of concern he said "I sometimes eat too much chocolate.  Maybe I should go to the Dr."  Ok so we can all say we are not that bad.

Ive come a long way in that I don't go to the Dr for much anymore but I do lots of Internet searching.  Good news is that I keep it all to myself and I no longer do searching every day and I wont allow myself to do it if I don't have time.  Also I do it just for me and don't think about awful things drastically about my kids.  I am level headed about them.  Don't understand why that is but I'll take it.

Healthwise ive had 5 kids, a hysterectomy due to adenomyosis, a recent appendix out (that was an interesting argument with my husband where he thought it was stupid I was going to the er for this strange off and on right sided stomach ache up in my ribs...it was weird

Hmmm cant seem to go back and modify on my kindle....

Finishing my intro.... I do lots of cancer browsing and am so ashamed when I feel happy that my concerns are validated by something actually being wrong...like the appendicitis. 

I do feel sick and fatigued a lot...more than from just having lots of kids...I don't go to des about it anymore though.  I don't go for anything that I know isn't concrete anymore.

I hope to get more control of this as time goes on.

I think I clicked on you bec you have "mom" in your name.  I've been wanting to talk to another mom for so long just about how to function w/a mental illness & raise children.  You have five & are still in one piece! Hats off to you.  You should be proud to raise that many children & still fighting your own issues.
I have had mental issues since I was 18 & I'm 43 now. Yikes! I had 10 great yrs of no symptoms, but still on meds. No crashes or episodes.  Now it's all back in full force.  What a bummer & this time I have 3 children to deal with.  8,5&3 yr olds.  I always dreaded this day & new it was inevitable.  Now I have trouble getting thru the day, the house is always trashed & I get so short tempered or sarcastic w/my kids.  They don't deserve it & I wonder how much damage I'm causing them. Husband is distant & distracted...his way of dealing.
So how do you deal w/all this stuff & still stay sane?
Thanks
