I wish we didn't have to deal with it, wish to G-d either she'd get help or ...

Sounds horrible to think it or say it, but there are times I wish she'd do something bad enough that we could force the cops to drag her to the hosp & force her into at least being seen/checked. The stress is horrible on my/our parents. :pout:

What the hell is so f'ing scary about seeing a doctor? Getting a physical? Getting an eye exam? Never mind seeing a shrink, how about a **** eye exam? How sick & germ phobic do you have to be to rather suffer from horrendous migraines every **** day because your glasses are 10 years out of date than go for a lousy eye exam? She probably has a thyroid problem as well as diabetes, NEVER feels well, won't see a doc but will **** about it. :ranting:

:surrender::surrender::surrender:
 
Is this your sister ennui? You listed medical needs, but has she been diagnosed with a mental illness? Does she have anxiety issues? Because you know I do and it's hard as HELL for me to see a doc (to make myself go).

I hope things get better.

Yes, my sis. She was diagnosed with some mental issues the last time she actually saw a doc, well over 10 years ago. Her illness has become much worse since, but she still refuses to be seen. The only docs she has come within a mile of are family members, who cannot treat her but know what they see.

She has anxiety issues amongst many other mental and physical issues.
 
Ok well then as frustrating as I'm sure it is, she can't help it. I know it's hard to understand.............like thinking why doesn't an anorexic just eat.

I hope she musters up some courage and strength and gets the help she needs.

How I wish to hell the laws would change so families could force mentally ill adults into treatment. The current situation sucks right now, it is virtually impossible to make someone get the treatment they need but refuse to seek.:surrender::surrender::surrender::pout::pout::pout:

That's the problem - she can't help it and society won't let the family get her aid that they know she needs. If she could get put on meds for the psych issue, she could probably go to the other doctors with less struggle.


I'm sure you know this ennui, but any mention of suicide will get the person admitted for a 72 hr hold automatically. It was something the paramedics pointed out to me when I called 911 on my uncle a few months ago.
 
I know, but mom is afraid to call the police again. Last time sis denied everything & refused to go in. The police wouldn't take her because she acted very calm & 'normal' when they were talking to her. Even then, generally the hospitals only hold someone for 72 hours, then the MI person is free to refuse treatment again.

Unbelievably frustrating.



There is no change in law on the horizon, either.
 
After several days of only smoking 1 or 2 cigarettes I smoked 9 today :hides:

I was miserable, ready to choke someone to death, the coughing that comes with quitting started this morning and I just could deal with it today. >hangs head in shame<

Plus this weather isn't helping much. I want spring!
 
Can we PLEASE move out of the 80's and get rid of the **** waterbed already?
I'm so over fighting with sheets that don't want to stay tucked, and since hand surgery last year I no longer have the strength in my hand to keep lifting the corner of the mattress to get the sheet under it. :surrender:
 
OMG I thought we were the only people who still own a waterbed. I was sick of it a while ago, finally the hubby is agreeing going to look for new bed tomorow
 
had and AH MAY ZING 5 hour play/supper date with Jonny's best friend and her parents(Pat stayed home, obviously) Oh gosh, it was so much fun. The kids were so cute (his best friend is a little girl named Katie) and her parents are amazing. Her dad graduated 2 years ahead of me and I had the BIGGEST crush on him in HS! Made plans to send the kids to their respective grandparents so the four of us adults can hang out. Pat and I both need this so much :) They are fully aware of the situation and are openminded...they are very supportive and want to build a friendship with both of us.

I am SO thankful for them!

I don't care if we just get a mattress and toss it in the waterbed frame.
I wonder if a knife would do the trick? Last time we needed a mattress we had a tough time finding one.
 
same here I think we had to patch slow leak and order a new liner off ebay. I also hate making it now with my RA its really hard. I do like crawling into a perfect temp. bed every night tho
 
OMG! when we were kids my aunt and uncle had a waterbed and we would always sneak in there w/the cousins and jump on it! so surprised we NEVER busted the thing...we thought it was so cool...now, not so much!:lol:
