Though I remember when my mom had a biopsy done on a breast lump--and she didn't say a word about any of it until it came back benign. My sister and I both were so mad at her for holding back--we felt like we had been cheated out of the opportunity to provide our support and prayers. Now here I am not sharing my own current health issues simply because there's nothing anyone can do about it without knowing the pending results. And I understand why she did what she did. <br /><br />I hate the feeling of being trapped--regardless of the situation. But, good lord...cleaning? That's a bit drastic, don't you think?!Dorihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17258322944946475959noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6009468722326751050.post-25304704205551291112009-07-04T23:32:38.114+01:002009-07-04T23:32:38.114+01:00ps

(where, leave the kids???) there is a natural tendency to freeze.<br />It made me feel immeasurably better....I was normal.<br />It also gave me the strength to realise I was not going to remain frozen! <br />On the counsellors advice I told him in front of her that I no longer loved him, there was no future for us and we had to separate physically. He cried, but he left the house that week. He said later that he had needed to hear that as up until then he thought I would snap out of it, apologise and things would return to normal. Yes - it is what I had always done in the past to keep the peace - but I no longer cared to do it.<br />Your turn....<br /><br />:)Fi from Four Paws and Whiskershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11217307759511472654noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6009468722326751050.post-70267979159047517962009-07-04T21:16:17.922+01:002009-07-04T21:16:17.922+01:00nothing worse than feeling strung out like that.

I began having signs when I was in my mid-30s tho mine dragged on for YEARS and there was no end to it until my hysterectomy last year. But the jitters, interrupted sleep, NO sleep, irritability, high anxiety...all symptoms and none of them fun to deal with. Plus you've had a lot on your plate with your personal life as well as the upset with your Mum's health which, I'm happy to hear, seems to be stabilized at least at the moment.
