in hospital and very depressed

[JazzysMom]

First of all welcome to our family! I think most of us have all dealt with depression at some point.

I remember one time telling my husband at our kitchen table that I was scared. I have had times where I have been blue, but this one time it went on & on & on and I looked at him one day & said I think I am cracking up. It did pass without therapy or meds, but it scared me.

This time of year I think we are more prone to it also. If you live in an area as I do where the snow has set it & you are kind of stuck inside more. Holidays are around us & although for me the holidays are great it still brings a bit of sadness.

Then the fact that you are sick enough to be in the hospital is probably the final thing.

Please realize this is all normal & I completely understand you not wanting to hear "things will be ok".

I wont tell you that, but will tell you that we are hear to listen. So if you need to vent, cry, scream we will listen with sympathy, empathy and any other "thys" there are <img src="i/expressions/face-icon-small-tongue.gif" border="0">

Kelly, sorry that you are struggling.

This whole thing sucks, and being inside just makes it worse.

I'm currently with my son w/cf and will be in the hospital until at least the middle of next week.

If you want to chat, feel free to PM me as I'm on here constantly at the moment trying to stay sane.

PS: my son has platelet issues due to a crappy liver/spleen and he is having a transfusion of platelets probably this weekend as his counts are dropping <img src="i/expressions/face-icon-small-sad.gif" border="0">

aaah Kelly....you came to the right place. Many of us here understand and know what you are going through. It is a very difficult time of year with being inside more and the holidays all around us. I was very ill a couple of years ago and what I found helpful was concentrating on the moments instead of looking at the whole big picture. I found all the little things I could do and enjoyed those things and treated them like rewards.

I know you are in the hospital so that is hard. Are there any real good novels or books you like to read, magazines. I played a lot of board games and cards with my daughter....laughter does the body good<img src="i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif" border="0"> I thought about learning to crochet. Get someone to bring you some of your favorite cold drinks or snacks. I think those kinds of things help take your mind off things and keep you motivated<img src="i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif" border="0">

I can't tell you that everything is OK....but, I can tell and I think most would agree that there are bad and good CF days and it seems that just when you need a good day one comes along for you to give you some peace about all the stuff.

Keep coming here for support and you are welcome to PM me if you need to.

hugs,
Karen

Sorry to hear you are in the hospital and feeling blue. But know that is TOTALLY normal!!!! I look at it this way it is okay to feel blue for I say no longer than a day then pick yourself up and fight,fight fight!!!! It is so hard to fight CF and stay positive but what is the alternative to feel depressed and yucky all the time. So try to lift up your chin, surround yourself with people that will make you laugh, that always helps and just know this too shall pass. Hang in there !!!! And know you are so brave!!!!!
