Hi,

I just wanted to introduce myself a tiny bit, and share whats on my mind.

I'm Tania, 26- diagnosed with PCOS in Febuary.

I am kinda feeling bad here lately, but I have no reason to really. I'm really kinda nervous about posting this, because here recently, i got burned, and accused of being a liar, and stuff on a Taylor Hicks message Board.. I thought these people were my friends yet they were talking about me and some people who are very special to me.

This has gone down in the past two weeks, man it seems like everything has gone down here recently.

My best friend (who is also just 26) was diagnosed a week ago with Ovarian Cancer. I've been thinking about a lot in the past week. My friend and I have been friends since we were 10 year old. Its frightening to imagine my life without her in it. its almost like i haven't processed it yet.. I feel bad, and my little problems pale in comparison to what she is going through. She also lives like 300 miles away in another state, and doesn't have much support. Part of me wants to drop everything and move there where she is. Yet, i have a fairly good job, and i'm about to go back to school for another degree..(my first degree is in meteorology, and i haven't been able to find a job..)

I have always had depression tendencies, and I feel like I'm having a pity party for myself, and people don't want to listen to me go on..with all this stuff...

what do you do when you really don't have anyone to talk to about things. I mean I'm single..i do have some really good friends, but i fell that they don't want to hear about my problems..etc.

Any advice??

Coz

Just because you don't think that you don't have any reason to feel down, doesn't mean that you have aren't feeling bad and aren't completely justified in feeling that way.

It must be hard to deal with having a friend having Ovarian Cancer, considering that you are both the same age, it has to be a shock.

You also say that you are preparing to go back to get a second degree, so that's another big change that you are approaching and don't under estimate that.

Your feelings are real and I'm sure your friends will listen and will be concerned if you tell them how you're feeling. If you feel that you can't talk to any of your friends, how about a doctor or someone from work?

You will feel better if you get things off your chest, especially if the person you tell understands what you're saying.

I'm in a bit of the same situation as you, I get depression (and have reccently gone back on anti-depressants) but there is no cause that I can dentify, I just feel bad sometimes. I always feel like I'm wasting people's time having a pity party of my own but luckly I've found someone at work (actually the service manager) who will listen to me rant when I need to and not judge me, treat me any differently and keeps it completely confidential (not even telling my direct line manager). Every time I talk to her, I feel better when I'm done. I spoke to her yesterday for about half an hour, went in feeling rubbish and fed up and like I wanted to climb into bed and never reappear and left feeling, not wonderful but definately better.

A problem shared really is a problem halved.

I hope that things get better for you and don't be afraid to speak up, people don't know how you're feeling unless you tell them.
