hi everyone,


i just wanted to check in. the depression still has a hold on me. it just sucks! i'm going in a few minutes to see my chiropractor. my back and neck have really been bothering me for about a month now. i'm hoping the visit cures the problems. if not, i've got to call my gp and if i have to do that my mind will (it has already to a point) jump to the worst case scenario. i wish i could train my brain to be a little more optimistic with these things. but the way my luck has been running over the past month and a half, i'm afraid of what the diagnosis would be. knowing that cancer runs on my dad's side of the family that's where my mind immediately goes. and i know that doesn't help my mood any.


so here's hoping the chiropractor is all that's needed and that it's not anything more serious than that.


hope everyone is doing ok.


hugs & love,

just to let you know, i fear that every sneeze, itch or cough is either cancer or AIDS. just my irrational fears, i feel a little healthier knowing someone else is paranoid like me. the odds of us having one of these major illnesses is so slim, and remember depression can cause definite physical symptoms like the ones you are having. i hope the chiropractor helps. can you get a massage? my chiro has a massage therapist in his office as well and it really helps. i haven't been in ages though. a hot bath helps as well.

i hope you are feeling better.

love,
lauren

thank you all for your replies. i think i add more stress to my life when i worry about stuff like that. while the chiro helped, my back still has that tingling sensation and it's driving me nuts. as soon as i can scrape enough money together i plan on getting a massage. but i have too many hands in my wallet as is right now that this is very low on the priority list. if the tingling doesn't go away i'm going to have to go to the doctor because it just shouldn't do that.


anyway, thank you all. it helps to know that i'm not nuts for fearing the worst and that y'all actually know what i'm feeling right now. since i had to quit seeing tdoc you ladies have stepped up. and i thank you for that.


hugs & love,
