I've double checked, I did reply to your message, I admit I didn't say a
direct thank you, but I did sign of with "cheers" which is a sign of
appreciation and carried the same sentiment. I replied on Saturday
having been to the ER on Friday and been sent home, so I'd already done
what your sister suggested I do, there was just a timing issue, I'd
posted about how bad things were on the Thursday, ended up getting
checked in the ER on Friday, then received and responded to your post on
Saturday. I ended up there doing exactly what your sister suggested,
contacting my doctor, though as it was a Friday (she works M-Th) it was
her on call cover for that weekend. I'm sorry I didn't thank you more
clearly, but I felt my brief reply did cover it, that I did appreciate
the info, that I wasn't in Group Health and that I had done as she
suggested already.
Everything I've said on here has been the truth, I certainly haven't
invented any of the drama of the last week since the severe drug
reaction I had. I thought long and hard before sharing yesterday, but I
really felt that our family needed all the prayer it could get. If you
think I'm seeking attention, the best thing you can do is not reply.
Maybe I do need attention anyway, we all do at times and we've no need
to be ashamed of that, I came across this article
http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/health/8297039.stm in the last few days. I've
received precisely one card, from an ex aunt of my husband, who has had
life long struggles with depression. I'm glad his side of the family are
at least talking about what is going on, my side of the family don't
seem to be!
Honestly, I'm not even sure I'm mentally ill anymore, you'll probably
think I'm crazy, but I believe last Saturday that God worked a miracle
in my life and that all the attention should be on Him, not on me and I
want to shout that from the rooftops! I shall avoid rooftops lest anyone
thinks I'm about to jump off, but I'll take any other platform anyone
will let me have!
Cheers and Thanks, I do appreciate you contacting your sister and I'm
sorry you feel it was a wasted effort, sadly it was just information
that came a few hours too late.
Anne

Talk about weirdo's! Please keep your religion to yourself, or at least
private to those that believe as you do. This discussion has been brought
up before on this group, and most don't think it is a place for far out
religion. I feel sorry for your family.

Thank you Ginger. You called it.

I believe that a person is made up of physical, emotional, spiritual
and mental components. Each of these components have to be addressed
and balanced for us to feel "our best". What works one day is not
quite the right combination the next day.
A bit over a week ago I put my concerns aside, in an effort to assist
you in what you had posted was deep depression and suicidal thoughts.
I contacted my sister who works at the hospital near you, and posted
here how to get there, who to speak with, even her name since she was
available to work with you. I didn't have to do that, and neither did
she. Not even a "thank you, I appreciate the effort" comment from you.
Coming now it would be too late, coming after prompting from me it
would not seem heartfelt. She concurred with me that you were just
seeking attention and didn't want to really get help.

I read your message, Ginger. And as I recall, Anne didn't have to be part
of Group Health to get the help your sister offered. Your sister was very
generous in allowing her info to be posted in a public forum such as this.
Anyone truly ill would jump at any source of help not pick and choose
because of convenience. Anne is definitely ill whether it be PP depression
or something else causing her to demand attention.
Nuff said, I'm going back to my sewing machine.

I'm sorry to see that the group has "turned" on Anne. She obviously needs
help; now, whether she will accept it is another story. If she is
experiencing mental problems, her view of her health is probably altered and
her ability to know that she must get help and accept it is lacking. I know
it's extremely frustrating trying to help someone who does not grasp that
they need help. Maybe we should just be there for her. There's not much
else we can do via email. I know many of us have offered prayers and advice
and direct help. Other than that we cannot have to many expectations of
her.
God bless mental health workers,
Michelle G.
