duck Posted August 15, 2020 Share Posted August 15, 2020 My therapist asked me some silly questions as if I am to blame for my abuse. Maybe I should get a dog instead. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's amazing how much balance we can find when we have no option but to fend for ourselves 11 hours ago, JD4010 said: My daughter could really benefit from being more independent. If you were settled and happy somewhere else she would have a space to escape to instead of being continuously overwhelmed with caring for her mother like everyone else in her mother's orbit seems to. You and your daughter deserve a life of your own. I'm not saying never help but you have a right to find some balance....She has all the money. Let her pay for some help and maybe, just maybe if she wasn't helped so much she could find the strength to do a bit more for herself I’ve seen people completely paralysed managing with a lot less help than she seems to have and being grateful for every little bit of it too. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jkd_sd Posted August 16, 2020 Share Posted August 16, 2020 Tired, a little worried, kinda overwhelmed, ... but actually alright. Mom is home from the hospital and getting better, and I have a lot to catch up on. The first thing I intend to catch up on is rest. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nightjar Posted August 16, 2020 Share Posted August 16, 2020 Low grade depressed. Hoping for some light at the end of the tunnel. Praying that my master escape plan is gonna work. I'm worried that the backlash from narc mom will stop me again. She has power over my finances and the ability to make my life a misery with her stalking and intimidation abilities. If I do manage to escape its gonna be hard enough without a huge wave of abuse and financial punishment to go with it.... I won't give up. It seems the best plan is to keep it secret for as long as possible so that she can meddle as little as possible. I could do without the fear of her finding out and making my life a misery hanging over me. I don't want to be going through a huge life change and having her wrath raining down upon me simultaneously. This is the way it's always been. I feel very trapped sometimes. I hope I can make it out 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sober4life Posted August 17, 2020 Share Posted August 17, 2020 Yeah animals always make me feel happy. People always give me the feeling of digestive issues like diarrhea or I'm going to puke. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jkd_sd Posted August 17, 2020 Share Posted August 17, 2020 Stuck -- that is as close as I can get to a real answer. Or maybe back to square one. The family emergency is slowly resolving. Now I am back to all the 'stuff' I had to deal with before it started plus a few new items. The depression has finally lifted considerably (but not completely), but I am left with this mountain of issues that need to be dealt with. I want to be hopeful but am not totally confident. Time will tell. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kogent5 Posted August 17, 2020 Share Posted August 17, 2020 I phoned my Dad's doctor because there was a mistake with his prescription refill and he accused me of trying to "be my Dad's doctor". No stupid, I wasn't the one who changed it, you or the pharmacy made a mistake and I'm trying to rectify it. No apology. I seriously hate people 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sober4life Posted August 17, 2020 Share Posted August 17, 2020 I used to have a pharmacy that wouldn't start filling a prescription until you showed up at the pharmacy. It could have been called in today or a week ago. It would be the same thing every time. I don't see anything here for you. They would act like they made a mistake every time but they did that with everyone. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's just a sore spot because I respect my Dad's independence, even when I don't agree with his decisions, so for someone to accuse me of trying to take over an aspect of his life in any way just rubs me the wrong way. There's been other stuff going on so I'm at the brink of I-don't-know-what and really didn't need this. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At this point there is probably a way to get his prescriptions delivered in the mail like I do now. Independence is great less things to have to do is better. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nightjar Posted August 17, 2020 Share Posted August 17, 2020 I haven't felt too bad today. A good night's sleep last night helped I think. I don't always sleep so well when mini lion takes over the bed She came in for a cuddle in the morning instead which was fab Tiredness can ramp up any depression in me and I'm finding my mood dropping as I get tired this evening Still, I've had a pretty good day today, I've been quite active and I'm not complaining 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nojoy Posted August 18, 2020 Share Posted August 18, 2020 once again I am feeling like things are not right. I used think that "i'm good" meant I was making progress. I wasn't down or way up, just in the middle. now I'm not sure what 'good' means. I dislike going to the therapist or meds doc because first question asked is "on a scale of 0 to 10, 0 being no depression/anxiety and 10 being extremely depressed/anxiety." 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sober4life Posted August 18, 2020 Share Posted August 18, 2020 I keep going to prove the world wrong I guess but it's all in my head nobody cares about me. If someone saw that I was on fire they would act like they didn't see me. When people ask me how I'm doing I wonder what is this person up to because of course they don't really care. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
