depress sigh

hey guys, i havent been on the past 2 days, because im getting depress and crying alot.. i have to see the doctor tommorrow and im stressing badly about it.. sigh trying to keep my hopes up that he says that its still mild and that they can give me meds without bad side affects since im the one solely taking care of my son and my husband wont be back from iraq anytime soon... im hoping its not getting worst, its seems everytime after my monthly its gets bad.. its funny because if i look back thats when i get all my flare ups.. right after my period.. hmmm im wondering.. maybe i should tell him that

Good morning my dear...

You are not alone we are all here with you. Why are you down? Just nervous about the possible news or is it something else? I know last week when I came here I was really down too. Today I feel better.

Being alone without your hubby must be hard, but don't give up hope at least wait and see what the doc says. I've learn that being afraid of being afraid is not very good for my stress level. I try to deal withonly what I have on my plate.

I know it's easy to say... but don't forget we are all here for you.

HUGS!

I would definitely mention the flares keep coming after your period. If your immune system is fighting crohns efficiently when regular, the change that comes monthly could be opening a window for attack, like a chemical change or imbalance. The more info you give your doc the better they'll be able to pinpoint things. If you have a pattern, thats always preferable to random no reason flares, because you can't find any reason to attach to them. Crohn's pain I can deal with but mysterious unexplainable pain is far scarier I say.

Hang on in there!
Talk to your doc, tell him everything. Also be a good idea to get a referral to see a gynae, you'd be amazed at the correllation between Crohn's and 'the monthlies' !
Read about it here in the Wiki

Try to keep your head up!

I myself am married to a military man, and having them away is hard enough and then throwing in feeling like crap and it can make a person depressed!! I hope you get some answers that you need and you can start feeling better mentally and physically. Hang in there!! :hang:

Sorry you are feeling so sad and upset. It is hard when you find out you have a chronic disease. We all go through a time when we get depressed and mourn our former lives. Just realize it is normal, and if it goes on very long, treatable. Chronic disorders often cause depression as part of the disease process - not just how we feel about it.

I'm sorry to hear you are feeling depressed. It sounds like your situation is kind of stressful and must cause you some anxiety.

I just want to let you know that you're not alone and you can always come here to let your feelings out when you need to.

It might be worthwhile to let your doc know about how you're feeling as well. I think GI docs really downplay the psychological effects of this condition and I think that's a disservice to their patients.

Hope you get some good news and you feel a little better. You're in my thoughts.

what a day lol so i have to laugh because guess whats heading our way , a blizzard hahah.. its funny to me because now i have to wait for sure to see the doctor and to get the meds that i need.. on top of that i dont feel comfortable being at other people house, but i have to stay at a friends house because since they were talking about power going out.. man im having a great week lol.. im not as depress as i was before because im to busy worrying about what the heck to do for me and my baby during this.. this is my first year by myself, and on top of that dealing with a baby by myself.. well i feel like im losing it for real.. like im trying to hold it together and im just losing it.. sorry about this , i know this isnt the place to vent but i so need to.. im angry, im trying not to be but im really really angry.. sigh sorry again

This is the perfect place to be angry and vent because we all have been there.

It is weird waiting for the blizzard. It isn't really real, yet. Just cold and wet outside. I'm in Kansas.

My grandmother had a stroke yesterday and isn't doing really well, so I am worrying that I won't be able to be there if she gets worse, because of this darn storm.
