Trauma

Mar 22, 2009 03:21

So yeah, went into the hospital on friday night with the stomach aches from hell. According to my social worker who I see since recently, I have a childhood trauma regarding hospitals, doctors, needles and dentists. So going to the hospital may be one of my worst nightmares, next to cancer that is ( Read more... )

Dear lovely Cynni, please don't feel bad about yourself. Please don't feel like you shouldn't be feeling this way. This is a perfectly normal reaction for someone who was just confronted with one of her biggest fears. It will get better, I promise you, it will. Just hang in there. You will be alright.

I know this all must have been an awful experience, and you really don't want to think of it because it only makes you freak out. I know how that feels. That's ok. You will be fine. In time.

As for the painkillers: my doctor has prescribed me Carbasalaatcalcium for my migraines, a very stomach-friendly painkiller that works swiftly. Maybe you could get something like that too. It's not expensive either.

I wish you all the best for the coming days.

Thanks for the support. And for the tip. I need to call the doctor on monday anyway, so I will ask her about that too. I dont want to be caught by surprise and having no medicine to stop it.

Luckily in the daytime it all doesnt seem so bad as at night, so I sleep in the mornings for the time being.

Poeh, wat een ellende. Niet dramatisch, niet kinderachtig. Heel begrijpelijk. Als ik alleen al dénk aan ziekenhuisonderzoeken ga ik al bijna over mijn nek en word ik spierwit en bibberig. Wil ik écht niet. Ik ben een paar keer niet naar mijn huisarts gegaan terwijl ik eigenlijk wél had gemoeten omdat ik irrationeel bang was dat ik heel misschien bloed zou moeten laten prikken. Je bent daar echt niet de enige in.

Enneh, des te stoerder dat je tóch bent gegaan! :) Beterschap!

**BIG HUG**
Geconfronteerd worden met een grote angst is niet leuk. Maar gelukkig is er een klein lichtpuntje. Je hebt nu tenminste de juiste medicijnen ervoor.
(En verdomme, die stomme dokters tegenwoordig met hun verkeerde diagnosis. Het lijkt wel of het een standaard geworden is voor dokters om zo makkelijk te zijn met een verkeerd3 oordelen. Ik hoor wel heel vaak van dokters die verkeerde medicijnen geven. Mijn mams bijvoorbeeld..). Pft.
Ik hoop dat je je snel beter voelt.

I'm sorry to hear that you has such an aweful weekend.

Phobias are irrational fears, so you can't really reason with them. Doesn't make them less real.
Try to make yourself comfortable while you sit this one out.
Mark may not look like he's afraid, but I'm sure he's worried too.

Yeah, I know. Thanks! I hope to be able to work on it when I am feeling better again. The good thing is that I have an appointment at the UWV next tuesday. My mom will take me there by car. I still want to go because I now have proof that something is actually wrong with me and I dont make stuff up. That at least is the good thing about the experience.

ziekenhuis bezoeken zijn nooit leuk.
enige dat ik je kan wensen is beterschap.
