Thank you all for your kind words and thoughts. I will keep everyone posted as it looks like Monday is the day. Then, won't have computer access until I get home, but will update.
I know a lot of this is my body reacting to stress/fear/etc. I have been on antidepressants before, but took myself off them in August. I thought I was doing really well. I really think I can handle things on my own. Well, until now. LOL! I did used to chat with a psychiatrist when on meds, but I'd prefer to talk with someone whose sole interest isn't to just give me drugs to mask the sadness and worry. I know these things are necessary at some times, but I personally sleep and feel sooo much better when I'm off them.
Joni, I may actually take your advice and look for a chaplain on base or someone to just talk to. Being military AND having CF, there are some specific challenges with deployments and the fear of getting sick while hubby is gone, etc. So, sometimes I find myself saying, "no one except other CFers with spouse's who have deployed will understand, not even a therapist who treats CF or treats military families." I have to get beyond that and just give someone a chance to understand me. Maybe just telling my stories and my fears, etc. will make me feel better, no matter WHO its to.
Anyway thanks everyone for the well wishes. I will certainly keep everyone posted. I have been feeling a bit better today, but still want to go in for a clean up since I've been sick twice now in 2 months and who knows what kind of damage that does if left untreated... even if we feel better. Right?
Thanks again,
