yesterday afternoon my neighbor was in a mood.i felt a bit bad about my ventb/c she had stopped w/ the suicide calls but now she was on a bender again.
ok..now i am doing my best & i realize from my t that the activities that i got my dd & myself in most likely took me down memory lane which was NOT the best choice for my condition,but i'm getting thru it.
so...
my nighbor gets out of her car & looks at me& tells me how unhappy she is & says...
"no matter what your problems are,mine are 1000 times worse"
i wanted to slap her
& i'll tell you why.
i have yet to hear what 1 of these 1000 problems are except for the most menial.
the woman has yet to CALL a dr.
her husband came by with the names of drs. to call.
she either says she hasn't called or she says she's called & nobody has returned her call.
i know that game.i've played it.i told her to give me the list...i'd call & make an appt for her.she said no.
i have to intersperse here that this woman is very very good to me & my children so it feels terrible to say this stuff.this is just how i feel.sometimes she asks me for my own dr.s number.i don't think she's call either of my dr.s b/c one is outrageously expensive(she doesn't see herself as worth it but you should see what she spends on her dog & grown children!)& the other has cats & she's allergic.sometimes i want to give up my dr.s numbers & sometimes the little kid comes out in me & i don't really want to share MY doctors especially with someone so close.
i told her to make an appt. with the mannhatten dr. just to get some meds & i'd help her find a brooklyn dr.
i just couldnt get over that comment.i think she's said it b/f but yesterday it hurt.i'd NEVER say that to someone!

I would be totally upset too! I've had that sort of thing happen...it sucks and you have every right to be angry and hurt as well.

I would be hesitant to share your doctors with her...that might be too close for comfort...

How are you doing otherwise???

Love and Hugs,

sort of dragging..like having a lowgrade flu all the time,you know?
i see that YOU're not doing well tho.
i'd usually suggest going out & doing something nice for yourself.i had my hair washed & blowdried yesterday .but you just recently got your hair done right?
how bout a pedicure?
