Anne! Do NOT stop taking your meds to prove a point to morons. I'm
sorry to be so forceful--but hurting yourself in order to hurt them is
not the way to go. Besides, even if you wind up in the psyche ward,
they still won't get it. Your pastor is a freakin' uninformed idiot.
Your husband and your friends are ignorant and following his lead.
Do what it takes to help yourself. I know you thought confiding in your
pastor was the right thing to do, and with the right pastor it would be.
He's not the one. Did I mention that he's a moron?
Okay, I think you're seeing my point.
Anyway, your kids need you--so do NOT stop taking your meds.

I just read the rest of the posts. Anne, sweetie, Michelle is right.
Your current "pastor" is a moron. Oh wait, I think she called him an
idiot first. Yeppers. Dear girl, please please keep taking your meds,
call and tell your MD that you are suicidal. Believe me, that gets t
he ball rolling very fast. They'll get you in very fast. And if that
doesn't work, walk into any emergency room and say that you have
postpartum depression and are feeling self destructive. You will get
help.
So frustrating to just sit here and not be able to do anything to
help ....

My psychiatrist only works M-Th, so though I left her a message last
night, she won't get it until Monday. If I went to the ER, I'd end up in
the psych ward, which is the last thing I want, or need.

Years ago when my folks moved to a small town mom
was invited to the local Friends Church. They offered
good, kind, loving worship that was welcome for the
whole family at the time. Somehow the nearest Catholic
church found out mom was attending the 'heathen' church.
Two nuns dressed whole hog in their habits showed up
at the door when dad wasn't there and informed mom that
if she didn't go back to the real church that God was going
to punish her making something wrong with the baby she
was very pregnant with at the time. (happened to be me)
It was probably good that dad wasn't there or he would
probably have gone to jail. I guess my point is just because folks
allege to be religious or Christian doesn't mean they
are. No shortage of bad folks that hide behind the mask
of religion of all kinds.
I hope Anne is able to get the help she needs.

If only you had pictures of this!! Would it make the news
or what!! I grew up with the Friends Church and still
have relatives attending..
But showing up with two pigs dressed as nuns? I don't
think anything will ever beat that one!
