I don't know if I'm welcomed here or not...I can't stand to type the word - it makes me feel very sick. So I think I will call this disease 'it' for now if that's ok?

I don't have it yet...my grandmother did, her mother did, my aunt did, her daughter did, and my mother was just diagnosed - so I'm sure I will eventually have it too.

I found this forum on google when I was searching for a place to go for...um...for support. Which is strange since I run a support forum for people with mental illness.

I don't really know what I'm thinking right now. There are so many issues in addition to learning my mum has it. I need a place to also talk about those.

I'm numb and scared, I'm very angry (some issues have to do with other circumstances that are complicated by this situation). Apparently my mum isn't going to be a survivor - they found it too late. I want to break things, hit things...I want to scream and cry and...I want to stop shaking and to live again. I feel horrible for my thoughts.

I need to talk to someone, but I don't want to get too much attention (how do you do that?) I have an emotional disorder and so I don't even know if what I am feeling is -well, what I'm feeling. I don't know if it's appropriate, or distorted.

I'm sorry if my post bothers anyone, I don't mean to intrude, but I couldn't find anywhere else to go in my situation. I just don't want to post stuff and hurt other people with it all. But I fear that if I can't get help soon, I will lose control and will spiral out of myself.

kimberly,

This Forum is about support, advice, chats for "diseased", AND their Families. It is also a place to rant and rave about all your worries etc.

First thing Post in the approiate thread. So what "Disease" has your mum got? Lung, Breast, etc. Post how she was diagonised, where, what etc.

Then post any questions you have, and any rants or raves.

People will reply to any questions, they willl give support and help in any way they can.

Say everything you need to say- because i garentee everyone has thought of it before you.

I do think you need some help- professional help. Someone who knows what they are talking about Wink

Someone who can help you pass through this first and bad stage. So you can then be supportive and do what you need to do for yourself and your Mother.
Some hospitals have councilers or grief therapist. Have a look into it. It can't hurt you any more, then not.

sabastina, welcome. You are certainly welcome to talk about "it" with us. I am very sorry to hear how "it" has affected your family... and now your mother!!!

You and your mother are in my thoughts and prayers.
