shantell Apr 6, 2006

I feel like I'm becoming a constant complainer which is SOOOOOOOOO not like the real me.  I went to the eye doctor today and my pressure is up again.  I am so frustrated, discouraged and overwhelmed.  It's been almost 5 years of constant eye stuff and I'm feeling weary today.   My eye doctor is sending me back to the low vision specialist...I'm sick of doctors.

Oh Darling Shantell,

I'm sorry.  Its scarry and sometimes you just don't have the emotional energy to put the best face on whats going on.  Its ok honey!   :hug:  :hug:

Its ok up to a point!

Then ya gotta get your positive attitude back up again, cuz you know as well as I that our attitudes are at least half the battle....

so eat some chocolate, have some ice cream, whatever your indulgence is......and then tomarrowtomarrow you smile and fight another day!

Right?

hugs and hugs and hugs!!!! :hug:  :hug:  :hug:  :hug:

and a whole lota love

gollyhugs and best wishes

Shantell,
Big hugs to you.  :hug:   :hug:
I'm at a loss for positive words myself but you are welcome to join me in eating chocolate and ice cream and just about anything sweet or salty we can get our paws on!!! (Good thing we don't live close to each other!!! We'd be blimps!)
Love ya!

Aw Shantell, you're not a complainer - I think I've whined enough for everyone on TT in the past few weeks.  It's hard when we don't feel good and it doesn't seem to get any better.  Dilu is right though, we have to pamper ourselves and then when enough is enough, kick ourselves in the butt and get right back into the game of life.  How about a nice, looong bubble bath with soft music and a glass of your favourite "bubbly".  Take in a magazine and enjoy it.  Or go to bed early with a good book.  Those are my two favourites!  Feel better soon!

                                                  Hugs,

                                                  Brenda

When I get back we'll have to get together and go have lunch and browse my favorite antique mall.  That will cheer you!!  If that doesn't do it......well, I don't have a plan if that doesn't do it.   :doh:

Warmest and biggest bear hugs,  :hug:

Oooh Shantell, you poor thing.  I don't have eye problems, but have been sick for nearly 10 years, (since I was 16) so, I know how frustrating it can be. 

Chin up, think happy thoughts!!     

We love yah here you ole complainer you (LOL Just kidding, honest!)

Shantell I am sorry to hear your down, sending hugs and hope your feeling much better soon.. :hug:  :hug:  :hug:  :hug:

Helena Apr 6, 2006

Huge hugs coming your way, Shantell  :hug:. We all need to complain sometimes, lean on one another's shoulders...it really does help  :). But I also hope you'll be feeling much more positive very soon, because a positive attitude also helps. Either that, or eating chocolate!!! 

Take care

Here's a big hug from me to you Shantell. I hope you feel so much better real soon. I have felt down lately and I know just how a big hug can help. It is a shame we don't live closer we could share hugs and end up smiling!

Hugs again Jane.  :hug:  :hug:  :hug:  :hug:  :hug:  :hug:  :hug:  :hug:  :hug:  :hug:  :hug:  :hug:  :hug:  :hug:

You have a right to feel like this. We should not always have to be upbeat, get it together when you are ready. In the meantime know that we are all behind you.... :hug:

Shari Apr 6, 2006

Oh, Shantell, it's not a wonder you feel down. Big warm hugs to you!! I wish I were you though cause Aleta would go to lunch with me and take me to her antique mall        Hope you cheer up soon and things improve.  :hug:   :hug:   :hug:   :hug:   :hug:

Don't worry about being a complainer.......you're so not!  Anyway, we all need to 'complain' some every now and then.  It helps!!    And it's wonderful that everyone on TT is so supportive when we do!  Heck, I was complaining again the other day myself........about my owie thumb!    You have a right to feel the way you do and don't feel bad about venting!!!

Hope things get better for you soon!  

:hug:

Shantell... I don't think of you as a "complainer" at all!  We all need a little moral support from time to time!      And, I agree..... you can't just go through life just always "sucking it up!" It's okay to feel bad sometimes, to wish things were different.... Just know that you've got a bunch of folks here pulling for you and wishing you nothing but the best!    :hug:  :hug:  :hug:  :hug:

It's really okay for you to feel down, Shantell.  I think everybody here has felt blue at one time or another and we totally understand.  A complainer, you are NOT!  You need support, hugs, empathy, and someone to listen.  Wish I could give you that in person, but since I can't, please know that am thinking of you.  Hope tomorrow is a better day.  :hug:  :hug:  :hug:  :hug:  :hug:  :hug:  :hug:  :hug:  :hug:  :hug:  :hug:

I have no words to make you feel better.......................but

       
Just hang in there

Eileen Apr 6, 2006

:hug: Shantell, you are not a whiner!  :hug:

In your place, I'd be howling at the moon  and biting people  !!!

Let's hope the next round of treatment does the trick!

We're here for you, kid!
