Parenting

I seriously cannot take anymore.

I know I do nothing but complain about this, but I am so tired of being sick. The meds aren't working, I can't eat for crap, and I feel awful all the time. I'm suffering, my husband is suffering and, worst of all, my kids are suffering.

I swear, this morning I was wishing for death. I'm not vomiting as much anymore, but I feel sick all day, every day. I just don't know what to do. I feel like I'm going to go off the deep end.  I am sobbing just typing this because the thought of being sick for even one more day kills me. I just don't know what else to do.

Sorry for whining, but there isn't really anyone that I can go to IRL that understands. Thanks for "listening".

Re: I seriously cannot take anymore.

  • I'm so sorry!  I got pregnant when DS was 6 months old and I was working full time and taking night classes to finish my masters.  I would drive from work to the university and cry because I felt so sick.  I took promethazine and zofran.  Promethazine actually worked better for me, but it made me tired!  There were some mornings that I threw up 3 times before I even left for work at 6:20.  I took zofran until I was about 33 weeks.  It was hard and I totally get where you're coming from.  BUT--when the baby is here, all of this will be forgotten.  Your kids won't remember you being sick and the memories will fade for you, too.  Hang in there!  You're getting so close to being done with it :)

  • Zofran is awesome.  That and sour candy is all that kept me from puking most days.
  • Please talk to your doctor and consider contacting that company I told you about. Can you go get checked into the hospital for a few days? I spent over a week in the hospital with Maile on IV zofran and phenergan. I was suicidal at that point, so I went to the OB and we both agreed it was what I needed to do. I felt so much better--not great, but better. And when I left I was set up with a zofran pump and it at least got me through. I was functional.

    It was the lowest point of my life. I contemplated ending my life or abortion many times. I just couldn't go on like that. Call your OB now and have them admit you to the hospital. Please. 

  • And I definitely was going crazy. I was literally starving. My mind was just not working right. It wasn't healthy for me, it wasn't healthy for my kids. If you're not there yet, don't get to that point. You sound exactly like I did when I was going downhill fast.
  • GHM, I have been thinking a lot about the advice that you have given me and I am going to talk to my husband about it tonight. Something definitely has to give. Thanks.
  • I'm so sorry! I have been there and it is awful. I remember barganing with God to take a finger, leg, some toes...anything to make it go away. I really was so miserable. Have you been to the Hyperemesis site? They seem so understanding and usually give good advice about what to do. Many of them thought about suicide and abortion. I think the length is what really wears on you. A few weeks of throwing up is bad but when months go by it really messes with your mind. Gl. Ghm is giving good advice, I would consider going to the ER for fluids and see if they can find the right meds for you.
