I had a full on breakdown yesterday at a grocery store and had to leave... I left work a little early to do some grocery shopping on the way home. When I got to the grocery store, I saw I had a voicemail from 4:25 pm from my doctor saying something really vague about how he wanted to review something with me and please call him back as soon as I can.
I saw the message at 4:32 (7 minutes later) as I walking into the grocery store and immediately returned the call. I was answered by an automated system saying that the office closed at 4:30 pm and they would not take my call until the next morning unless it was an emergency. So naturally I freak out over WTH he could be calling over and then realize I have to wait at least 16 hours to get an answer and I started crying. #winning
I needed to dress up but couldn't find anything dressy that fits. instead of logically looking for alternatives I just cried in a pile of clothes... awesome.
I just wanted to start out by saying that all of you ladies are in my prayers! I'm sorry that many of you are going through some rough stuff right now!
Today I'm crying over everything. I went to bed last night with a sore throat and woke up with it still lingering, plus a headache and after a very poor night of sleep I just wanted to call in sick. I started thinking about how much of a pain it is trying to get things ready for a sub especially when it was already so late in the morning. So I cried getting dressed, knowing that I had to suck it up and go to school. Then I started thinking about the disaster that it would be if I didn't feel better by tomorrow with all of the things I have to do in the next few days between church, family, and school and I cried again because I just felt so overwhelmed.
Of course my poor husband is trying to be supportive and understand, but he and I are very different in the way that we handle emotions and stress..he is always calm and relaxed and I am very emotional, especially now that I'm a hormonal pregnant lady. And I cried over an argument that we got into because of my moodiness and him telling me that I just need to calm down.
By the time I got to school I thought for sure I was cried out. But then one of my students brought me a note from his mom--I have been trying to set up a meeting with her for weeks and for various reasons it hasn't worked out but she is available tonight! My dreams of coming home as soon as I was done with work, putting on pjs and going right to bed are dashed.
Phew. Sorry, didn't mean to turn this into a novel but I guess I just needed to vent today!
Not crying but extremely mad with my previous doctor. I already didn't like her but by the time I was completely fed up I only had 6 wks of pregnancy left and figured it was almost over. Big mistake on my part. That pregnancy ended in a 38 wk stillbirth. I am part of a mom Facebook group and I saw a mom complaining about having itchy skin, which is a symptom I've been having. The responses to the post was that it could possibly be cholestasis which can cause stillbirth. Naturally I ask my doctor if I was tested for that after mines because I would think they would test me for everything to prevent that in the future. But no, I was never tested for it. So now I have to go to the lab to get tested.
@mcdonald-bailey that's so frustrating, I'm sorry is it your hands and feet?? That's what I was told is usually the itchy place for cholestasis. Hope everything comes back clear!!
@liepertsm sorry your day has brought so many tears! Hope you feel better soon for all the things going on this week!
@kjd291 it's really all over my body. I'll be glad if it's nothing it's just frustrating that I wasn't tested for all these things. They took at least 25 tubes of blood from me before I delivered so I assumed I was getting tested for everything.
@mcdonald-bailey o wow! So much blood. Yeah, I can see why that's frustrating! I don't have past history of many issues, but they still took about ten viles for me and then when I got the results I saw they tested for a bunch of things i told them to skip and were unnecessary. Sometimes these practices make you feel like just a number with boxes they check off on paperwork.
