Hi guys,
I finally made it back to work, still itchy, hot and tired but hives seem to have dissipated, (still dry itchy skin, but what else is new).  When I got in to work, one of the other ladies I work with had a memo on my desk about the days she will be away for and that she would appreciate me "making every effort to be here" while she is away.
I am crazy and paranoid enough without extra insults.  I do not plan family crises, I do not plan allergic reactions, I do not plan depression spirals, aargh, and she has a husband who has depression, poor fella.  I will do my best to be here but I cannot make any promises to anyone about my physical and mental health.  Heck, I don't even know if I will wake up in the morning or make it home from work tonight.  I can never be certain about anything.
Blah, blah, blah.  I know buck up, stop the whining, get a move on.  I am trying.
As for Biker "B" and her whipped hubby they have been fairly quiet and non-provoking since that incident last week.  The cops say there is nothing they can do, the office says there is nothing they can do, can anyone do anything?  Probably not but I will keep my fingers crossed that no further incidents happen.
Thanks guys.

Hey Furgitit,

Wow, it sounds like you have been having a tough time of it! The reaction to the antibiotic sounds awful! I am glad you got to the doc and got some help. Hope you feel better real soon! I am itching in sympathy as we speak!

As for your neighbors they sound horrible! I used to have psycho neighbors and boy was I glad when they moved! Besides calling management, is there anything else that can be done?

Anyway, let us know how the anti-histamines work!

Breanne, Thanks for asking, I didn't make it in to work, I had an allergic reaction to the build up of antibiotics for my perioral dermatitis, so tongue swelling, gums bleeding and itchy rash all over, I dragged myself to the doctor and she took me off the antibiotic and put me on super strength antihistamine.  I am a bit better today, tongue is manageable, still can't brush my teeth and the rash isn't as itchy.  So hopefully tomorrow the rash/hives will be gone enough for me to venture out to work.
On another note, I have a bad neighbour, when I say bad, I mean, school bus driving psycho woman (who has almost driven into me, over kids and other scary things) and namsy, pansy, whipped husband, tormenting the elderly couple, and other neighbours, that live next to them.  They rev the motor cycles outside the windows, they take items down that the elderly couple put up and then throw them on the driveway of the elderly couple.  I witnessed this behaviour on numerous occassions and have made numerous complaints to the management company (trailer park)  I made another complaint tonight.  I fear for the safety of the elderly couple as well as the safety of the rest of the neighbourhood.  I told the elderly couple that if they needed to, they could advise the office that I witnessed this very bad behaviour.  Think 2 grown adults in their 50's picking on 70 something ill, elderly people, why is the world so cruel?  These morons have pushed about 10 neighbours out of the neighbourhood, this is not right, I probably would have moved long ago but I could not afford to do it. OOOOOOOHHHHH I am so angry and itchy:)

Thanks everyone, I have been down, panicky,. guilty etc. over the past few days, I couldn't go to work for 3 days, due to the panick, paranoia, sadness etc.  I would just lay in bed and cry, shake with fear, and eat, and eat and eat.  I am gaining so much weight my hubby noticed my jiggly butt (thank heaven's all of my clothes are big and baggy).  At this point, I do not even care if I have a job when I go back tomorrow.
Thanks for listening.

Hey furgitit,

Wow, that sounds like a chaotic crazy two days! I am in shock and amazement at you that you managed all that while in a depression. No wonder you are tired! Heck, feeling like you want to escape seems perfectly normal to me at this point. I would be feeling totally overwhelmed if I were in your shoes! 

I think you are very hard on yourself though. You accomplished more in a couple of days then I did in a week and still you are beating yourself over the head for what you haven't done. You should be patting yourself on the back for all you accomplished! 

As for your meds making everything taste like poop, I am sorry to hear that. I can't imagine the frustration... I am sorry to hear you are still facing so much chaos and craziness at the moment. I hope you get some time to take care of yourself.

I have no great advice but I did want to say hang in there, be kind to yourself and I am here to let you vent if you need it!

Wow..............that was quite the last 2 days for you! No wonder you're exhausted!
 
Furgittit, it is totally understandable why you have this intense urge to escape and never be found again! Your plate is full with obligations and expectations; not to mention bursts of chaos. There is no down time and no healing time.
 
You did the right thing by posting here..........I hope that writing your thoughts and feelings helped to make you feel a little better.
 
Is it possible for you to decrease some of the running around and only limit it to high priority things? How do you suppose you could improve the situation without feeling like you are in a downward spiral?
 
Members, please share your thoughts on this. Most of us are juggling many things at once but it is important to pause periodically to fill the tank and re-evaluate our role in taking care of everyone and everything.

Well, I am in a downward spiral again.  Over the weekend, I fixed the steps (took off the rotten wood and replace with new wood and brackets and screws, did laundry, went shopping with my daughter, dropped off cheques for my brother-in-law, run run run all weekend long.
I thought yesterday after sleeping in, not getting the kids up in time, driving one to school and drive away and get a call 3 minutes later saying she had a field trip I needed to drive her to, spent 1/2 hour looking for her class and then went to the eco station with my son's old bed (my son got a new (semi-new) bed over the weekend he is so happy), spent $20 to get rid of the stupid thing and making the usual apologies and blah blah blah. 
I thought I could get beyond the sadness.  Well not exactly what happened.  I sat at my desk furious that I could not concentrate, getting dizzy, and doing my best just to be able to answer the phone without sounding like a drunk.  To boot, my husband calls my cell phone, just as I am about to leave work to see if I called his dippy do surgeon for some paperwork, of course I hadn't so  I felt even worse because that is one more thing I couldn't get done.
Driving home, all I could think about (and cry) was just saying screw it and grab a few things (medications, clothes, blank and books, and a little bit of money) and just leaving them, my husband, my kids and just not going back home or to work or to anything, just being alone where no-one expects anything of me.  Then I get to thinking about how hurt they would be and then I cried more.  I am not hormonal (that's over and done with this month).  And I went home and made supper, my son wanted to take his new laptop in because it didn't support Itunes, fine he didn't eat the supper and I dropped off my steam cleaner at my dad's and picked up his empties (for my daughter so she has extra spending money), visited outside with him and my husband and my daughter.  Went to pick up a few groceries, had planned to go to bed early but didn't get home until ten, then I had to take my anti-depressant's and wait an hour to take my sleeping med's which didn't work last night, I tossed and turned and felt restless all night, I cried, I sniffed, I blew my nose, but felt like crap all the same.  The thoughts of leaving were more intense. 
Of course, I am exhausted today, but I made it to work on time.  Still having a hard time concentrating, my lips still hurt and look awful (it's going to take over a month for them to look better and start to get back to normal) the antibiotics make my tongue feel like it is doing a slow burn, with sandpaper, it is bright red now (apparently this is one of the side effects to my antibiotics) and everything tastes poopy, coke tastes like sugar and salt, popcorn tastes like salt and baking powder, chocolate, tastes like wax, sugar and salt. Ugghhhh I just want one sane day where life is normal, not too much, not too little just a nice balance somwhere in between.  Now my daughter is sick and I have to witness wills and then pick up my daughter and start a new circle of chaos.
whew!!!!! I'm done.

furgittit,
 
I bet you lips look full and red and kissable!  just ask your husband not the mirror!  It is amazing how a reaction near the lips sometimes makes a difference to our appearance.
 
Please be careful if you are stuck sitting for a long time at work... your muscles will stiffen and that will make it all the worse.  Try to move a bit every 30 minutes, stretch a bit, go wee, booze, eh no I meant drink some water, pretend to pull files and then put them away... 
 
May I ask if your sunny hot weather is causing MORE allergies for your daughter than in normal years?  Out east-here, it is sooo bad.  I have a house of snorers and this allergy season is really bad for me and the gang here.  I have to go back nearly 15yrs for the rip-my-eyes-out-to-scratch-my-sockets and the nose-bleed allergies of this year.

Hey Furgitit,

Sorry to hear your week was horrible. I do hope your trees grow up nice and strong though. too bad your back is paying the price of it...

Anyway, I hope today is better for you. Let us know how it goes!
