Remembered you with gratitude when Angie posted about birkies in fashion. Thought of you lots last week especially as I made the decision to acknowledge my own depressive spiral. Keep tapping the keys or penning the words... no matter what they are even a grocery list ... just set an egg timer and write... remind yourself you exist and your thoughts are valid and they matter... it makes a world of difference when one step further is all you can go </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/sona-how-are-you/page/2#post-1207067 Thu, 27 Mar 2014 22:29:11 +0000 Mochi 1207067@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Sona, over the weekend hubs and I were passing through that same area of the hotel (I think it's the Marriot) where we all had a great time chatting and&nbsp;eating snacks on your husband's expense account (tell him thanks, again &nbsp;</p> <p>Really, you are tightly interwoven into many of my local associations here.

I actually dressed up today! I EVEN&nbsp;posted a wiw. </p> <p>I am worried about the weekend crash. Last two weekends have been brutal. But I am trying to find examples of self love etc and trying to remember I am loved.</p> <p>I am feeling guilty&nbsp; about my patients who might have had questions for me&nbsp; or labs I needed to get back about but&nbsp; these were being answered by my partners who do not know them very well. I know deep inside that I have to take care of my self first but it is hard. Bebe was asking me yesterday what exactly was wrong with me? What do I say? no words.</p> <p>&nbsp;Guilt about bebe, hubby, my mom, my siblings, my patients, my YLF buddies....</p> <p>...never ending guilt.</p> <p>but one minute at a time.</p> <p></p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/sona-how-are-you/page/2#post-1201082 Fri, 21 Mar 2014 16:58:49 +0000 LACeleste 1201082@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hi Sona,<br />Thanks for checking in. &nbsp;I'm sorry you had a bad day and that&nbsp;figuring out meds is sometimes more of an art than a science. &nbsp;Sending you positive thoughts. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/sona-how-are-you/page/2#post-1201074 Fri, 21 Mar 2014 16:52:24 +0000 rachylou 1201074@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh well that was a bugger - not to put too fine a point on it.</p> <p>It <i>is </i>really nice to get your check-ins everyday.

My hope is that you can find the proper medication not to dull the feelings, but to change the chemical imbalance that is causing you so much pain. There are so many people who love you so much. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/sona-how-are-you/page/2#post-1200594 Fri, 21 Mar 2014 02:16:09 +0000 Sona 1200594@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thursday mar 20 check in: bad day. had a near seizure. hubby is freaked out ( poor guy). another med change.

Please do talk to us. You are doing a great thing by writing down your thoughts. The more you do this, the better you will feel. And yes... One hour at a time you are in my thoughts and prayers. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/sona-how-are-you/page/2#post-1199952 Thu, 20 Mar 2014 14:39:54 +0000 LACeleste 1199952@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>We stand with you and care so much about you Sona. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/sona-how-are-you/page/2#post-1199931 Thu, 20 Mar 2014 14:18:02 +0000 Suz 1199931@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Sona, you know this, I know -- but please try to remember that the feelings of unworthiness are part of depression itself. They are not a reflection of any kind of reality. They are a sign of the depression, not a sign of truth.&nbsp;</p> <p>You are so worth it. You are valued. You are loved.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/sona-how-are-you/page/2#post-1199643 Thu, 20 Mar 2014 02:48:38 +0000 Janet 1199643@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Sona, thank you for continuing to check in and for sharing those thoughts with us. I think journaling can be very helpful -- especially first thing in the morning, when everything about the impending day can feel overwhelming. I wish you all the best in getting the support you need from your husband too. You are loved.</p> <p>We will continue to be here for you. Big hugs! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/sona-how-are-you#post-1199624 Thu, 20 Mar 2014 02:20:04 +0000 Sona 1199624@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Isa: something jut made me check this thread before I head to bed and hopefully? some quality sleep. It&nbsp; didn't even register in my mind about Hoffman's overdose vs. suicide. In my mind I just have put creative people, young people dying- mental health, addiction,&nbsp;overdose, suicide. And we only hear about the famous ones. Scary yes? My doc said that some women decide that because they have child/ren suicide comes off the table completely but for others it stays a part of the picture. I feel like I am in&nbsp; a bubble or other people are in a bubble?. Many of these bubbles&nbsp; are just there as in just there, some cause anxiety.</p> <p><b>Thank you for your support- all of you.</b> I am trying to believe that I am loved. Or as Hindiuism would tell us I am love itself. But that is hard to imagine even when you feel unworthy?</p> <p>Mochi: I have thought so much about writing a book. Many books, essays, poems run through my mind. I know many are good. I believe I could write...I know I need to journal. I need to...I used to dream of being&nbsp; a medical writer....</p> <p>...another bubble? perhaps.</p> <p>Thank you for keeping me company tonight and sharing my patois- being my companions.</p> <p></p> <p></p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/sona-how-are-you#post-1199554 Thu, 20 Mar 2014 01:27:20 +0000 LACeleste 1199554@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks for checking in Sona. &nbsp;Thinking of you. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/sona-how-are-you#post-1199404 Wed, 19 Mar 2014 23:01:11 +0000 Isabel 1199404@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thank you for chiming in. I don't know if you remember me telling you about my friend of 25 years who spent 18 of those being a suicide prevention and education specialist. She also spent years working with high risk groups in prison. She would often talk to me about survivors guilt. And how hard that was for some people to handle the fact that they had survived an attempt, while others did not or how guilty they felt over reaching out for help when others couldn't. It is sad. Your perspective is right on, Sona. And for whatever reasons, you have survived and you ARE strong for getting help AND confronting the beast. You are you and you will slay the beast. The universe wants it that way. It has spoken. Love you !!!!!!</p> <p>Phillip Hoffman did not commit sluice, but he made a horrific mistake. Some of it is just dumb luck sometimes. But please don't feel that one person is more worthy of survival than another. YOU are valuable. </p> <p>I understand you issues with LWren. I am so sorry that you are reliving it. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/sona-how-are-you#post-1199337 Wed, 19 Mar 2014 22:00:02 +0000 Mochi 1199337@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Sona, this mention isn't about advising you to do anything differently. I just wanted you to know how I've met another woman recently. Not a doctor as far as I remember but she was a highly trained specialist in the medical field in Boston, and she is now under-employed, trying to launch a career as a medical writer. But the point is, she had to leave the field completely because she couldn't take dealing with children who were really ill. And who can blame her. I have so much empathy for what you're trying to manage. In the end, you really need to do whatever it takes to protect and be kind to yourself.&nbsp;</p> <p>Huge hugs to you, in the meantime. Please keep checking in.&nbsp;&nbsp; </p>
