Default I am still struggling

My GP said it was normal to have a hyper reaction to stress after an accident. But this long?

I am constantly on the verge of anxiety or rage. I am pretty sure I am hypomanic. And the dark little depression is setting in. (typical spring is coming reaction for me.) Pretty much a mixed state.

Logic is in here somewhere. Knowing what is happening and knowing what to do about are two different things though.

I feel like a yo-yo.

Part of it is the girl stuff. The other part is just being on constant alert for danger. I also think alot of it has to do with the prolonged pain. My hubby thinks that its not so much the whiplash, he thinks its a fibro flair. He is usually fairly perceptive, so I will have to agree with him.

Just venting. If it gets worse, I call the pdoc. I am trying to wait it out. I am not dangerous, just crazy. LOL You all know what I mean.

I am trying not to withdraw inside myself but it is really difficult.

sigh.

I hate this crap.

Dear Bear,
I wish you were feeling better.
I guess that it takes as long as it takes.
Can you rest more? Stop most of your activities and stay in bed or on the couch?
Can you come home early each day this week and go right to bed?
You family will support you. They sound like a good bunch.

Why do we wait it out when we could call the dr? I don't know.

Get well.
Mari

He Ms.Bear,

I'm sorry to hear you were in an accident. I didn't know until now. I can symphasize with you as I have been in an accident that had me in pain. Here's a cyber hug for you. {{{{{Ms.Bear}}}}}

You continue to have a lot of stress, especially at work.
I wish also that you could slow down a bit.

I am so sorry to hear you are having to deal with this huge amount of stress.

It seems like PTSD, and it takes time to get over it, as time goes on it does ease up, at least for me it has somewhat.

Get some R & R. Hang in there, thinking of you.

Hugs, Nikko

it seems like post traumatic stress to me too...paxil is supposedly good for it..it does take a very long time...after my explosion I was such a wreck and was in limbo...the whole thing was surreal....can you write a story about your accident...and go back to it...you had faith and faith was the only way I managed to dig myself out years later. It was a feeling faith....not an intellectual faith...sort of like Kierkegaard's divine leap..
I am holding hands with you now
