Happy Winter Solstice to my fellow southerners! Longest night of the year get at me. Quiz night tonight, channelling that long night energy to win yooooo.
But seriously, I'm still deciphering my Scorpio full moon card reading. Should I chuck a solstice reading up there too? ��ThorSon's milkshake brings all the PF girls to the yard - Volcaniclastic

I have never been across the way
Seen the desert and the birds
You cut your hair short
Like a shush to an insult
The world had been yelling
Since the day you were born
Revolting with anger
While it smiled like it was cute
That everything was shit.

Re: Whatcha thinking about now? (v2)
I'm feeling really depressed right now. I tried to explain to my parents that I feel that the doctor that I go to at WVU for bariatric issues is not doing enough. I feel like they are not doing enough. I'm not trying to say that it is there sole part, but I feel like they can help me more than they are. I'm seriously considering going to UPMC if I do not receive the answer I need. I've been working with them for at least two years. It's not like it's been three months or anything like that. I just want some help and it feels like they aren't listening to me. So I'm going to talk to them next month and if I can't get something reasonable then I am going to check out something with UPMC. I know they are willing to do gastric balloon. So they do have options for me. I just get depressed and upset with myself that I let myself get this way. You know.Anubisa

Re: Whatcha thinking about now? (v2)
Anubisa, sorry to hear you are feeling so discouraged. Bariatric issues are tough. If it has been 2 years, then maybe talking to someone from a different program, or even a knowledgeable counselor or peer group might be helpful. It could give you some perspective on whether the WVU program is in line with current standards and practices. It can also give you an idea if it is just some bad staff attitude at the clinic you are attending, or whether you are stuck somewhere yourself and need a fresh perspective. It sounds like you are beating yourself up a lot right now, which usually starts to work against positive forward movement out of any problem. If it is any comfort, I don't think that many people make it through life without developing some behaviors that they regret later. Some are just more easily hidden than others, or more socially acceptable for whatever reason. You know yours, and you have accepted that you need to change some things. That is more than many people ever do. Keep chipping away, because anyone who is as kind as the person I see here deserves to treat themselves with the full love, respect and compassion that you give others.Comment

Thanks Prickly Pear. They say that it's not selfish to put yourself first. I just can't seem to do that for myself. I have to find a way to force myself to do that or I won't change and I have to change somehow to make myself better in every way possible.Originally posted by Prickly Pear View PostAnubisa

Re: Whatcha thinking about now? (v2)
I know where you're coming from. I used to let people walk all over me. I felt super guilty when I refused requests from others, I couldn't say no. Last year something happened that was sort of the last straw for me and I changed almost instantly to someone standing up for herself and thinking about herself first. It still feels strange and I'm still learning, but I've never felt guilty again when saying no.Originally posted by anubisa View Post
I've learned that if you don't put yourself first, someone else will put themselves before you (if that makes sense). I guess it takes practice like all things.Comment
