This weekend is really rough. I go back for the results from the latest round of test on Tuesday, but that feels like a lifetime away.

I found a message board for Cushing's and now I'm completely freaked out. I've gotta stop doing this to myself. I cried myself to sleep last night over the things that I read on the board.

Vines - Please, please, please don't read anymore about anything till you get your results. It will make you go crazy, think all kinds of bad things that might not even pertain to you. Believe me, I have been there and done that before. Just put it to rest, keep yourself busy and don't read another thing. There will be plenty of time for you to look up and study anything afterwards, but maybe you won't even have to do that at all.

My thoughts and prayers will be with you! Now, go take a hot bubble bath, do your nails and read a romance book! Or a good mystery!

Hugs!

I agree with Betty. Although it's practically impossible to stop doing it, quit reading the boards. I've visited lots of boards for different reasons, and WITH THE LBT BOARD AS AN EXCEPTION, have mostly found that the people on the message boards are pessimistic, whiney, and wallow too much. I would push that idea to the curb, talk to your doctor, and deal in the reality of what is said. Ask him for support group ideas, and keep looking for a discussion/message board that has warm and upbeat people, like this one! Holding your hand, long distance, Cindy

VQ, I remember when I was first diagnosed hypothyroid, I did the same thing. Reading the sob stories of people with the same condition totally freaked me out, until I took a deep breath and realized: Hey, I don't feel like that. That doesn't apply to me! And I went on my merry way.

Nothing matters but the way YOU feel. You know that. You just have to believe it. And we know you will. :) :nod:

Frettin' n' stewin' is what Chris calls it. I do it all the time, but it's useless. I have to get a lung cat scan this week so I have similar ants in the pants, but that's why I rode the bull. Gotta keep living. Go shopping, enjoy life, put on your belly dancing outfit and live, live, live!

Just remember, the people who do all that writing are dwelling on those things instead of getting out and rebuking them. Alot of them hypochondriacal and wallowing in their diagnosis, some their whole lives. Attitude is 90% of ANYTHING.. :) It's tough, been there, done that.. absorbed every single thing I could read, even psychologically took myself to lots of those places, then clawed my way back to MY OWN reality.. :) It's much better in the sunshine.. I'll pray that you get good news.. and if the news isn't the best, I'll pray that you are blessed with the peace and strength that exists to live with it and move forward..

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.
