Hi Kirstin, flowerpot.gif

Sorry to hear your feeling a bit isolated, that's understandable and I can sympathise, may I ask how much support your getting from your partner and how much knowledge he has about the tx and sx?. It's very important that he understands what tx/sx is doing to you physically and mentally so he can provide strong support. I don't know how I'd cope without Cate by my side.
My nurse told me of a woman who is doing tx and is afraid of telling her partner that she is doing tx and has hep c for fear of losing him, can't imagine how she is coping.

If you have any concerns or feeling a bit down were all here for each other, and will listen and understand.

Be strong,
Greg

Hi JollyRoger,

As James has said "Riba Rage" we all go through it, and I was reluctant at first to take AD's I didn't want to add another drug into my system, I thought I could cope but I would just explode over nothing. So I'm taking a low dose and it's working so well, yeah I still get pi##ed off at things but that's natural especially with what we have to deal with on tx, but taking AD's is a huge help.

Take care,
Greg

Thats also happened to me after the past couple of days.. Although when you have someone sneak up behind you & scare you I believe I am justified in 'snapping'a little.. I feel no-one is 'getting' me lately. Feeling somewhat isolated..

yep it's called "riba rage" and anti depressants work wonders for it.

Good luck,

James

I heard b4 starting that when one's on tx they might experience 'depression' or 'haziness' and similar terms. Hearing this, I made the assumption that it would be because of the sx (headaches, bone aches, nausea) that one might feel down and out. since i have a relatively good hold on my moods and how i react to people, this seemed like a very controlable symptom.

i've 'accidently' snapped at my boyfriend, my mom, ETC a small handful of times now, and it really made me rethink this little pickle that i'm in (tx). almost immediately after these 'accidental snappings' (for lack of a better term) i apologize and say "wow, that came out wrong" or "i didn't mean it that negatively". it's a little bit of depression, but more of a general cynisism combined w/a 'haziness' that makes me feel too dumbed down to dig myself out of the verbal hole that i might have just slipped in.

whether it's the headaches, an sx of the meds, or just myself over-thinking it, (i couldn't be that crazy) it leaves myself and others wondering "what's HER problem?"furious
