Title: I need a few encouraging words...
Post by Hirvimaki on Oct 6th, 2003, 3:10pm
I hate feeling needy and I really dislike coming across as a whiner, but I really do just need a few words of encouragement from you all.  I had a hell weekend with HAs all weekend.  The International Balloon Fiesta is underway here in Albuquerque and I had an opportunity to crew one of the balloons Sunday morning.  Guess what I spent the morning doing instead?  Lack of sleep, feeling icky because of the Trex and a wife who just looks sad now is taking its toll.  I know we all go through this, and I certainly do not want to sound like I think I am in-more-pain-than-thou (I know I am not), but being at work with a KIP 5/6 is sucking right now...

Hang in there, we all know how you feel.  I have been there.  Not feeling great today either.  Have a shadow of a Kip 4 hanging around all day.  Was up all night last night also with shadows of Kip 5 and 6.  Stay strong, they will pass.

Hirv,

Here's a few more encouraging words:

Verapamil, Lithium, Topomax, Shrooms.

You mentioned using Pred a while back, but nada on the Prevent Defense. Just wondered if you'd tried any of these.

And the skies are not cloudy all day,

You should have called -- we could have played solitare together. I was up all night anyhow dancing right along with ya.....

Sorry about the balloon thingy, but look at the bright side -- if you'd gotten up in that thing you'd probably have just dropped something out on top of someone's head and given them a headache...... (wellllllll, it sounds like a "fun" thing to do).

Hang in there -- things always get better eventually.....

Hugs BD

Hirv,

As far as I can tell you didn't whine at all.  You stated that you needed some encouragement and told us what your circumstances were.  That's a different thing altogether than whining :)

Keep reminding yourself that it will end, and keep coming here when you need some folks to lean on.  There are always people here who will help hold you up when you start to slip down.

You can do it, and we can help :) (the home depot of CH) ;)

Hi Hirv........
Well you're NOT a whiner, and I think all of us are a bit needy when it comes to CH.  And that is what this board is about.  It's neat to be able to say what you feel and how you feel, whether it's good or bad.

.......if a post from jonny doesn't lift your spirits, then nothing will         8)    As you can see, he has a positive attitude about everything...LOL...and tells it like it is   :)

You hang in there, Hirv, and know that someone is always here.

Sending you lotz of pf vibes from Texas         ;)

Jean

Hey Hirv!

I'm sorry you're going through some rough times.  Hang in there...it does eventually get better  I promise.  As far as your wife is concerned, why don't you ask her to pop by here too?  She'll find lots of people here that go through the same type of emotions she does and she'll be able to compare notes and not feel so isolated.  Kinda like we clusterheads do....she needs support too!

Hope you start feeling better soon
hugs
Ann

Hi Hirv,
Try this....rant and rave, piss and moan, pitch a big ole bitchin' fit, cuss a blue streak.   It's called venting and it helps... :P

It's gonna get better......I promise!!!! :)

Sorry it's going this way.  

I snapped at my wife before I made it to the front door.  Crossed signals in regard to status of o2 and wallgreens computer down so without Trex as well.

I hope she forgives me cause I'm trying to convince her that I will require some other form of medication.   She is my greatest supporter ya know.

Hope this brings a smile to your face.

Thank you all so much for the enCOURAGEment I sorely needed (need)!  You all are THE BEST!  I promise to be more social when the Beast finally lets go... I'm home from work and will head out now for a long walk with the dog to try to out run the Beast.

I wish more of you lived out here. Not many Clusterheads in this neck of the woods, although I managed to track down two of 'em and we're setting up a little informal Clusterheads West...

Peace and love to you all... You have no idea how much you have helped! (The Beast (or Evil Clown as I call him) ain't got nothing on this family!)

Don’t descourage :'(, if you do, you lose the match against the beast, and this isn’t good :'(. We all have aims in our own life... people to help an love... fight for this. We can’t expect happy days with the beast >:(, but life can’t ever be bad, don’t you think so? Good luck I'm with you and... Stay Hard!!  ;D
