hello family, I had an online meeting with a friend. she ended up telling me in great details about a medical problem she is having. she also told me in details about the surgery. it was very hard on me to listen to and I should have stopped her right away (about going into details) when I finally couldn't take it anymore and just said: "I am scared", the lady got upset and started going on about how I don't want to listen to her problems. I had to explain to her that the details about the disease and surgery made me anxious and it's not that I don't want to listen to her problems. I think she understood, but I am still very anxious about what I had to hear. also, because I am having a similar medical problems. I got very anxious a few minutes ago and had to call the prayer lines. I hope I don't keep thinking about the things she said and continue being scared. On top of that, I had a lot of problems the last 2 weeks and have been hardly able to make it to work. Thank God when I spoke to my manager, he was sympathetic and agreed for temporary work accommodations (just between me and him, no need to include HR) I am going to be at the office for a few hours, then come back and work the next of the shift from home. thank you so much please also pray that my friend's condition gets healed. she is really scared. Prayers for you and your friend. I hurt my back muscles a few days ago. I've been hurting too bad to hobble out to the computer but today I forced myself. Please say a prayer that the pain will stop. Thanks. Praying! Do you have a good chiropractor (not one of those neck-jerking guys)? Prayers for you Terry! Sorry to hear that Terry. I am praying for you. Hello family, I need some comfort and prayers. I don't remember if I ever mentioned these things but over the years, I got traumatized many times by health care workers. once, I had to have surgery. that was the first time for me and naturally, i was very scared. I was also alone with no support. a nurse hated me (I think it was racism, I felt it from the way she was talking to me the day before) on the morning of the surgery, I was so scared. I was looking outside the window, not wanting time to go on and the sky to get lighter. every sound outside my room was very scary. then when it was time, that nurse almost broke my door down (she was a very big woman which made it scarier) and shouted: "hey you, get up! It's going to get serious now" other times, I was treated so roughly by several health care workers at a hospital (and they also scared me so much by the things that they were saying to me), that twice, I ended up going into shock. another time, I had a serious accident and I was handled very roughly in the ER. I had a head injury which is always distressing, I also couldn't remember a lot of stuff which is very traumatic. no one comforted me, I was just handled roughly by the medical staff. I could go on, but I will stop here. for the longest time, I only see my MD and ND. I don't go to hospitals, specialists,................I always dread something coming up that might leave me with no choice but having to see a specialist or go to a hospital........................ that is why if I ever get sick, even if it is something not serious, I start having anxiety. I had to have a root canal in August and I had a lot of problems with serious anxiety. I kept seeing that nurse almost breaking my door down and shouting "it's going to get serious now" and I started thinking: I am having a root canal, that is serious.....................and my mind always wonders to worse case scenario. I have to do a CT scan on Tuesday and the anxiety attacks are starting, please pray for me. thank you so much siblings Praying for you Heidi Prayer sent up Prayers!
