When things just don't get better

@lacy2 It is cathartic to the soul to share in a non-threatening environment. We each have our stories, and being here on Mayo Clinic connect, we learn we are not alone, even if our individual circumstances may not be exactly the same as someone else. There is a release that happens inside of us when we know that others are [virtually] patting us on the shoulder, or giving us a hug of support, don't you agree?
I hope today goes well for you.

...again, thanks. Yes I agree, the responses to mine/our posts are valuable... others are so understanding. I feel sometimes my 3 member family are just worn out hearing about things they cannot change or ? Each have listened over the past and ended up nicely saying: "I don't know what to say any more"..... and I don't blame them. I am an open book with my life and my health and not everyone is the same, I understand, e.g. my spouse doesnt want to discuss his illness/recent surgery unless absolutely has to... but as well as talking about my issues I have always tried to comfort or share knowledge if someone else talks about theirs.....am noticing my crying jags and worst parts of the day are around 10am to about 4pm, not every day but quite often and so wondering if side effect of a medication... as tears are not usually shed per the clock?? Thank you for caring......
