Am Not Coping

Re: Am Not Coping

💗💐💕 @Former-Member .....

Re: Am Not Coping

@Faith-and-Hope That is tough I would hate to give my furry friend away .... part of the family .... that is hard. No dx yet? dx always take ages ... what can you do nothing but wait.

Re: Am Not Coping

@Faith-and-Hope you know Faith-and-Hope life is a funny thing. I never thought I would be in this position. To be talking on SANE forums due to having mi .... bizzare. Funny where life leads you.

Re: Am Not Coping

“Wolfie” is a real outside dog @greenpea, but dealing with the family mi issues has taken us to the other side of the country for too much time for the care and attention he needs .... and as heart-breaking as that is, we all know it, but the people have to come first.  

 

 .... But Wolfie has to come second, and my mr is not seeing things straight .... not thinking with his heart properly, and is not making the right sort of decisions ..... which he will understand in hindsight if we ever reach a dx ..... 😱:face_with_rolling_eyes: .... but that will be too late to revisit this situation and make the right choices for Wolfie.

 

I have tweaked it all to the best of my ability, thrown a private tanty at the unfairness of it all, shed some tears, and now I have to suck it up and have faith and hope towards the best outcome ..... 

Re: Am Not Coping

 

I phoned Sydney yesterday and they want me to phone back on Friday.  I explained to her what was happening for me. She said I needed to see a specialist asap and that is why I went to see my GP today and I thought she could help me in the interim. The person in Sydney seem concerned and she wanted me to take action. I hope this is making sense. I have uni prep tomorow for my upcoming placement.  @Faith-and-Hope

Re: Am Not Coping

That’s just it, isn’t it @greenpea .... ??

The bumps and ravines in my road have lead me here to all of you wonderful forum friends who I would not have met otherwise, and who are enriching my life .....

Who knew ?

Something else that brings me comfort is that an eventual dx won’t mean I have to leave here.  I am fully aware that it won’t be a magic wand of that calibre, but it will Abracadabra some doors that are currently closed to us regarding support and treatment.

Re: Am Not Coping

@Faith-and-Hope you know what Faith-and-Hope mi just sucks .... it affects so much of everything it just sucks for want of a better word. My furry friend is an inside pet a companion pet for my son2 to help calm him down which furry friend does brilliantly.

Sorry about decision re 'Wolfie' 😞

Re: Am Not Coping

It does make sense @oceangirl, and I am concerned for you too.  Maybe use the online chat email to talk to Sane counsellors tomorrow ..... they may be able to send you to a centre in your area for the right sort of support while you wait to see the specialist.

 

If you have uni prep work to do now Hon, go see to that so it doesn’t stress you further.

 

Hugs 💜

Re: Am Not Coping

@Faith-and-Hope Yes well I have made some true friends here and learned alot about people as I am a quiet pea in rl and dont associate with many people so it is a good way to be social in a safe environment 🙂 I hope you get your dx soon ... it has taken me 3 years lol.

Re: Am Not Coping

The people he looks to be going to love him to bits @greenpea, that is not in any doubt, but there are behavioural issues in regard to what he needs.  I have set up as much training and handover as mr. would agree to, and that will have to do.  At least I bargained for and won that much .... have to trust now that it will be enough, and that it will hold.
