The Social Worker they sent to my room after Russell was born was lucky she didn't get punched in the face! And then when I wouldn't talk to her about "what I was feeling" They sent Mental Health to my room!!!! That's when I completely shut down. Argh...To this day I get really angry thinking about it!!!<br /><br />Anyway Kim, that sucks you have to take blood pressure medication but you have to do what you have to do, so good for you for making the choice. Hope things get better for ya.JChttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16040699928110444013noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3825000868976601610.post-16941368430140438442012-02-08T18:56:49.461-08:002012-02-08T18:56:49.461-08:00I have a great counsellor, a great counsellor does...I have a great counsellor, a great counsellor doesn't have to have a shared experience, But they do have great empathy and stratagies for coping not just survivingt. In hospital the nurses sent in a social worker to see me - she had absolutely no street cred what so ever - about 22 years old just out of uni and her first question straight out a text book "so how do you feel about this" blaahhhhhh I hit the eject button very quick actually i was quite savage about telling her I didn't think she could help me. I found my great counsellor through asking what relaxation techniques they use, mine does a /deep meditation Excersise with me, it is so good better than a glass of red ! <br />Take care Kim thinking of you hugs.vivhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12416372183101425657noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3825000868976601610.post-9267982187178347002012-02-08T18:21:07.233-08:002012-02-08T18:21:07.233-08:00I think my stress levels could match yours from th...I think my stress levels could match yours from the sounds of it. Yes, I would be red hot from being told to go talk to someone. Hang in there...we are all here for you and understand how the stressors change...and how only someone who has walked this path truly can understand. I agree with everyone above too...more red wine :).Beckyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01201595211241091609noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3825000868976601610.post-34892707886351258022012-02-08T14:53:14.839-08:002012-02-08T14:53:14.839-08:00When I was going through breast cancer, I got more...When I was going through breast cancer, I got more help chatting with other survivors than I did from the counseling that was offered. Even though it was offered from a counselor in my oncology office, the person just didn't get what it was like to go through cancer. I'd say by looking at your favorite bloggers list you've got a decent support group going on as it is. And I agree with Wren, add more red wine.Lisa https://www.blogger.com/profile/09324961653370110887noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3825000868976601610.post-13419513761768211172012-02-08T13:31:49.792-08:002012-02-08T13:31:49.792-08:00I would suggest a few more glasses of red wine! :)...I would suggest a few more glasses of red wine! :) I hate the "talk to someone" approach was offered or suggested a few times by friends of mine as well as the nurses in the hospital and the social workers who called my house weekly after Sutter was home! Considering none of them could give me any information on Ds or what to expect I did not take their advice! Good luck with the BP meds and breathing!Wrenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12859270873501744398noreply@blogger.com
