I haven’t felt the urge to write. It is barely coming back to me now. I wish I had the power to write something completely interesting, but this post is going to be pretty mundane. Just the usual complaints and bitching, with a couple of fun (not) new things. Let’s get started, shall we?
Lap Band -I saw the gastroenterologist on the 25th of February. I had to do a fun sample for that and will see him again on March 25th. In the meantime, I tried calling to get an appointment with the Lap Band clearance doctor. Of course, being the stellar clinic they are (note the sarcasm), no one answered. I’m still trying to get a hold of someone. I guess it doesn’t really matter anyways because I’m having issues exercising and eating right again. I hate this wretched cycle of eating right, exercising, then saying, “To hell with it”, and giving up. I wish I could break out of it, but it is a terribly difficult habit to let go of after 25 years.
My foot -still hurts.
My mind -this is one of the fun new things that I was talking about. I ran out of Xanax last week and had to stop cold turkey because the pharmacy won‘t refill it until later on this week. To put it bluntly, I feel like shit. The first couple of days were filled with physical symptoms. Today, I can feel the psychological bullshit kicking in. I feel on edge, full of hopelessness, and I feel that fun sense of dread creeping up in my mind. My stomach is in knots, so I’ll probably drop weight this week, which isn’t entirely a bad thing. The only shitty part is the feeling that Death is going to come up and bitch slap me at any moment. Moving on….
Heart palpitations! -had to go to the hospital last Thursday for this. It sucked, and they couldn’t give me any answers. Luckily, they stopped, but I have a feeling it was caused by the extra weight I’m carrying around, even though the doctor wouldn’t come out and say that. Shit, just say I’m fat. I know I am. You know I am. I honestly don’t take offense anymore.
Religion -not going there. Too much spinning through my mind, and this whole “Is there or isn’t there?” bullshit is getting on my nerves. I need to figure out if I’m going to have a faith or not and stop pussyfooting around. I just can’t commit to either one, and this limbo is leaving me even more on edge. It is the suck. Maybe I should start a Religions Anonymous group. “Hi, my name is Jessica and I can’t figure out what I believe in.”
Money -we had to loan our savings to my in-laws. The less said about this, the better, because I don’t know who reads this blog. *suspicious*
The (supposed) crazy -this is the last thing I’m going to write about, and I’m not going to go into full detail of it because that would be a whole other post that I’m just not ready to write. It was brought to my attention by an acquaintance that an ex-friend of mine put a post up on his message board calling me “crazy” and a “nut case”. How do I know it is about me? Because he used my full name, of course. It was posted on the 22nd of last month, but the acquaintance barely ran across it last week and sent me a message about it. Now keep in mind that this is the same ex-friend who badgered me from August to December about being his friend again. I wanted nothing to do with him and told him so, several times. I blocked his email and any way for him to contact me on social networking sites. He used a different email to contact me and enlisted the aid of his SON to contact me on Facebook. I reiterated my stance on not wanting to talk to him. He tried to add me on MySpace. It finally died down, and now this post has surfaced. I had not had any contact with him since December, so why he posted this now is a mystery to me. Now, I could be a major ass and use his full name, like he did to me, but I’m better than that. Besides, most of the people that read this blog know who I am talking about.
I have one thing to add to this, though. If it keeps up, I will post a blog about it all, with all of the proof I saved of him harassing me on here. Screen caps and saved emails are a wonderful thing, and these definitely don’t show him in the best light.
I think I’m done for now. My fingers are starting to go numb. What a weird sensation.
Wow so many things you covered, I'm not sure where to start.
ReplyDeleteI was about to email you and ask you what the status of the lapband thing was. How much longer do you think it will be before you get a surgery date? I know this whole thing has to be driving you nuts. It's been going on for a long time.
About the Xanax...keep writing. Just write it all out until you get your Rx filled. Now this might sound corny, but I'm serious. For all the bad thoughts you're thinking, and the dark anxiety that feels suffocating, write all this crap down and PICTURE IT ALL LEAVING YOUR BODY. It might take a while, but do this and take some really deep breaths. It's just a stop gap until you can get your Rx filled, but you might find out that it helps. Writing is so cathartic when it comes to so many things. In the meantime, I'll be asking the universe and whoever else is up there, to cut you some slack!
Religion...well you've read what I've written. I believe in Christ. I do. I just have trust issues with him. I'm not so sure sometimes that he believes in me. It's not an easy search. I wish I had some answers for you. I just know that he's there. Even when I don't want him to be. BUT...I also know that other things are at work in our lives and I think it has something to do with our attitudes and how we feel about ourselves and actually standing up and believing that we deserve more than the sh!t sandwich we are occasionally served. It's just that it takes such a damned long time to learn that lesson...and I'm so slow anyhow that it takes me eons. Anyhow...don't stress over religion. Just do what feels right for you, in your heart and soul and let those be your compass.
"The crazy" sounds...well crazy. If it becomes seriously defamatory (and I'm sorry but calling someone crazy and a nutcase IS defamatory, demeaning, denigrating and possibly lots of other things...) and someone like that could wind up in a lot of hot water, if they aren't careful! Especially using your full name! Oiy! And I'm glad you're documenting everything. If the harassment keeps up, don't hesitate to call the police and give them everything you have.
I'm glad you're writing again...keep it up!

An update is coming on everything except the Lap Band, since I just blathered on about that in a long winded post.
ReplyDeleteAh, I feel my urge for writing coming back....
