I'm changin my post now since my papaw is home and feeling better now. This thread is for anyone to use and post their own requests. Lux took my post from another thread and made this a separate thread just for that reason. Please do not hesitate to make requests cause you might be surprised at the support you will get from the loungers!!




Here is my original request...
Sorry I know this is off-topic but there seem to be some religious people in here right now.

Please say a prayer for my grandfather cause my mom just called and said he just called her and she is taking him to the emergency room. He is having pains (chest, I believe). It scares me cause he had a heart attack last summer and then a 5 bypass surgery. So now I'm heading to meet them at the hospital. Thanks!

I heart my Papaw!

Such a crazy week! My friend with cancer is in really bad shape - to the point
where she will get chemo and radiation at the same time.

Also, my ten year old great niece had six seizures yesterday and had to be airlifted to Houston. Lots of tests, but no answers yet.

I would appreciate prayers for them.

Well I just told my mom about the move. That was fun. She cried and cried and said how bad their (my mom and dad) health is and how she's going to miss us so much and how much she's loved having us so close and then said she had to go. I broke her heart and my dad's when she tells them. Kind of want to die. No one wants to break their parents heart. Please pray for them. Thanks.

Also, if you have room for a quick prayer for me too, I kinda want to die too. I hate this. Thanks.

No. You. Don't. If you die, Summer wins. Would you give that bitch the satisfaction? I didn't think so.

Seriously though, these feelings will pass. Once you adjust to your new life you'll realize you are stronger than you know.

I just feel so hugely broken. I've spent my whole life following along and doing whatever makes everyone happy. I'm trying to be good, I'm trying to go along with everything, but this just seems like such a breaking point. I don't know what to do. I've prayed and prayed and prayed and it just seems to get worse. I'm trying so hard to get through this...I know everyone we know here is like "Omg, you selfish bitch, he's got a great job...all you have to do is move...wtf is your problem, you should be so happy!" and I'm happy for him he got the job and I know I'm making a bigger deal than needs be...but it's like it just is finally the straw that broke the camels back. I say everything is ok, and I guess it will be at some point...but whatever is in my brain is broken and I'm trying to be ok.

There does eventually come a time when you just can't keep doing that. This is that time for you. It's tough, it would be just as tough for most other people, too.

You're not broken, just under pressure. Trying so hard to satisfy everyone for all those years is at an end. You need to satisfy yourself and your family now. Making that change is never easy. But it's necessary and critical for your family.

Hang in there, time will eventually heal these temporary wounds. Just don't let this continue to wound you in the future. Do grieve, but be certain to finish grieving soon and then move forward with your family and life.

All of which is to say, hang in there, lady. You'll get through this, as long as you keep the end in mind. Cell phones and Skype and the interwebs are amazingly helpful technology. Hopefully you can use them to make the change a little bit easier.

Thanks frog. I thnks whats hard is what makes me hapy is staying here. i might be able to deal with making everyone else unhappy is if at least it was omething i coul justify doing because its the first things ive done to make me happy. its just it doesnt. i dont' wanna make people unhappy. my whole family is disappointeed in me. ive always been here to take care of my parents. their health isn' t good. all of my grandparents, aunts, uncles, whoever have always said what a good person i am to stay an dtake care of them i feel lik e im such an aweful person otherwise, not worth much but at least i did that. i took care of my parents and now im not even doing that. its just not a move i feel like im getting the whole disapproval of y family and i dont know if i can stand it. ive spent my whole life..my WHOLE LIFE...trying to get approval and make everyone happy..and then this one thing seems to disprove all of that. my mom was like 'our health isnt good and its always been so nice to know you are here.' and i just fel tlike all ive done all my life was undone in that one phone call. i dont even want o move to kentucky. but i love patrick so so much and would never ever in my life divorce him because of that. ever. but im just torn on so many sides. people say 'make uyourself happy' but moving up to stupid ky isnt doing that but staying here and ivorcing him would devistate me too. even when i used to go to a counselor we had so many talks about how i tried so so hard to make them, everone happy, and i do and no w i feel like a whole lifetime of that is undone and wtf is the point. not gonna kill myself, dont worry i just want to. wouldnt because of my kids an dmy family and maybe its good we are gettign insurance so i can get on meds lol but i just feel like...i dont know...i dont know.

I'll offer you this outlook. If you continue to try to make everyone happy, you're setting yourself up to fail. It's just not humanly possible to keep everyone around you happy all the time, ESPECIALLY when those people are family. You've done a HELL of a lot to support everyone else all these years, and now it's actually their time to support YOU when YOU need it most.

I hope some of this helps you and eventually sinks in just a little bit. You've got to take care of yourself (and your family) first, or you won't be able to help anyone else. If this is a solid opportunity for you to get insurance for the family, and for you to get medication you need, those are both hugely important factors.
