From: smudgedrose on 31 Mar 2007 09:16 This thought keeps running through my head, a line from the movie 'What About Bob', if anyone has seen it...'Would someone please just knock me out?". I'm tired of hurting. I can't sleep, have lost almost 35 pounds in the last month and a half with this searing pain over the losses I have, would just like to go to sleep and stay asleep until the pain gets at least more tolerable. Gives the lyrics, 'I Wanna Be Sedated!' new meaning. Please, sedate me, knock me out! It's not like I'm driving or going out of the house ANYWHERE anyways. Anything to be able to exist from day to day at this point, as each moment of agony feels like hours, days feel like months. Can anyone identify with this? Thanks, Rose

I told my husband just today that I'm tired..... it's an emotional rollercoaster. I'm sorry I have no words to help right now except to let you know you are not alone. GEE

There are so many rippling effects - not just the initial loss, but so many other things. You can't really just get away from it. I would suggest talking to a Dr., as there are a variety of things that they can help with, as far as giving you advice specific to your symptoms and medication to help you survive. I don't think depression is a valid answer. Depressed-like symptoms are an effect of grief, but it cannot be trivialized to depression. Survivial is important, and often the basic needs are what you need to focus on.

Depression is not trivial: I have suffered with depression for more than half my life and it is a crippling, agonizing, debilitating disease. It can also be a killer. Unresolved grief can lead to a depressive illness. |
