I know this may sound stupid but i totally forgot to go to Pdoc appt. today and she sounded really upset! my morning didn't start off great. got a call from my uncle this morning about 7:00. he's my moms brother. he started talking about my mom,grandma and all my decease relatives, and i just lost it. i didnt lose it on the phone. but when we hung up, i was a mess. i understand he needs to talk about my families death just like anyone else i just wish i could handle those conversations better. i cant even think about my mom without breaking down. i know he needed me, i wish i was stronger. my moms death was the reason i had a nervous breakdown in the first place and it also lead to my BP dx. that was 3 years ago.

i know i went totally off topic, it was because of that that i forgot my appt. my Pdoc is great but one thing i noticed is she doesnt have great phone ettiquette. she always sound P**off. especially when i call her for information and i leave a message. im really upset and doing my usuall shaking and crying hysterecly (sp) DH keeps saying to calm down ( i always call him at work).

im tired of doing this to myself! why do the smallest things tear me up? just becaause of this stupid incident, i'll be out of commission for days.

You really should let your pdoc know that she sounds that way on the phone. It would help her to know that. I remember I was talking about my deceased daughter in therapy once, and I noticed his body language made me feel like HE was uncomfortable. I told him that the next session, and he said he was sorry about that, and he would work on keeping that in check. He added he wasn't uncomfortable. So, your pdoc would probably want to know this so she can work on it.

Valerie --

So sorry to hear that you've had a bad day. I missed my tdoc appt last week. I called to find out when it was, and they said - "right now". Oh well -- we all make mistakes.

I hope your week goes better.

Hugs!
