Down in the dumps again – challenges with adult children

Thanks for checking on me. Things are pretty much the same with my daughters but I did explain to one how I felt about them not calling to see how my procedure went. There’s a possibility I may have colon or stomach cancer. I’m having a colonoscopy on Wednesday. I’m praying it’s nothing serious going on. I’m not one to call attention to myself so I haven’t shared this. My depression is out of control. I’m very fatigued, absolutely no desire to leave the house, I feel very empty inside. I’m taking Cymbalta but I’m wondering if it’s the problem. Hope you’re doing well, love the hug your pillow idea!!

@kdoO827 Maybe you should ask your daughter to go with you to the Dr,s on Wednesday ?Or next Dr visit .Yes I keep pillows handy. Did you ever try Tal Chi?I did just today funny how it relaxed me ,?

I had to stop Cymbalta abd Effexor as doctor told me they are related.

@kdo0827 , I can certainly understand why you’re so depressed. Waiting for answers you may or may not want is so hard. And then your brain goes in all directions of the “what if’s....” You say you spoke to your daughters about their not calling you after your procedure. Did they have good reasons? Did you feel better just saying something? Think anything might change? It’s so upsetting when a child seems not to care, but maybe they’re as scared as you.
I hope things will get better for you, I really do. Take care of yourself.
