hey jeannie. Im sorry that you have this beast. but you made a good move coming here. welcome . I am sorry that you have to deal with this. I can say that alot of us experience this as well. Just recently my uncle said that I should man up and stop letting my family do what I should be doing. This from a man who cannot clean his own cloths or cook his own meals.
people are just short sighted despite relationship. I have noticed that it is easier for people to pass judgment than try to understand. DR,s included.. an open mind is where we need to start. I believe it must start internally first so we may learn patience, and then we can pay it forward. As a group of sufferers we share empathy. but is it really empathy when we all really feel the pain?? we do understand each other and that is GREAT!! and the work to share sympathy and a shoulder to cry on or lean on. we share our agony wich gives us a sence of balance so we can stand up again. but the people in our lives are clueless. even after we share as much info as we can. but how much can you understand what we are going through if you do not have the experience ourselves, its like asking a man to know what its like to give birth , the best they can do is compare it to passing stones. but even then how do we know??with this information maybe we can find it easier to forgive their callousness.
It is extremely frustrating I know and if you search my posts you will see I get angry at this as well. I dont know .maybe its the new script of trazadone but right now I can see both sides a little easier. I am still frustrated by it . but thats a different thing.
I wish you well on this unfortunate ride and hope I can offer you a shoulder when you need it. and some helpful advice. but that si what the great thing about this site is, you have a large group to bounce through looking for what you need. I wish you luck and send you warm hugs .
