Sorry

[Deejojo]

I would just likened say sorry for

My

Rant on here yesterday was soo down and just couldn’t get out of pain

[Pippy25]

No need to be sorry, we are all human and it's hard being in pain and while we can offer words of support it's hard to know your own unique situation and circumstances. I hope you manage to get things sorted out and find out a little more about any scheduled appointments or surgery from the hospital. Take one day at a time, best wishes x

[allanah]

Sorry I missed your post , rant away!! I hope you are feeling better today xx 😍

[happytulip]

It takes alot of courage to apologise.

We all need a rant every now and then. It's understandable when you are in so much pain and just don't know when it will stop.

I really hope you get a date for your op soon.

Take care.

This is the place to rant and not be judged. x

Totally understand a rant. I rant all the time. I often feel better after a rant ... it’s cleansing and people on her just get it. Unless you suffer from RD no matter how understanding someone is they just don’t get it

[crashdoll]

You’re only human, my lovely. We all have days where we are irrational and cross. We are here for you. I am utilising my favourite saying a lot lately; “this, too, shall pass”. 💜

[helixhelix in reply to crashdoll]

Mine is “next year in Jerusalem”, ie the jewish wish for redemption, and for peace and perfection for the entire world.

RAnts are normal, and good on you for apologising even tho’ you didn’t need to.

We’re all in the same leaky boat kid! Mixed information, rudeness and uncertainty but amid all that, we’re all human and with a very few exceptions all feel the same emotion. Empathy is usually endemic and no more so than here.... so you rant away, as loud as you like, we’re listening 👂 Good luck 😉😷

[Pippy25 in reply to Olderguy]

That's a really good way of putting it Olderguy, as some days we can bail out the water and keep afloat other days we are frantically throwing water out and nothing is happening and we get that sinking feeling. Always good to have a life line as in a bit of understanding, empathy and humanity as that can make a stormy sea a little calmer at times. We can all feel awash coping with RD at the best of times but never has there been a more challenging time than of late, where things have been left out to sea for some in respect of our health and any ongoing treatments/surgeries etc. Hope you are fairing as ok as can be, Take care.

I love all your seafaring analogies Pippy25. You've summed it all up very well, and made me smile at the same time. I'm the daughter of a seafarer so heard many of those expressions when I was growing up.

[Pippy25 in reply to Ladybird25]

Thank you Ladybird25, I've had RD for over 18 years now and there's one thing I wont let it take away from me and that's my sense of humour and while RD is a serious and under estimated disease, sometimes we have to see it in a different light. To use another seafaring analogy here RD is a catch we could not have forecasted and how we would want to throw caution to the wind and not let it wreck our lives. Take care and lovely to hear from you x

[Ladybird25 in reply to Pippy25]

I'm sitting here smiling! Thank you. It's so refreshing to hear a positive and upbeat attitude towards RD. I'm also trying to be positive, as I know that stress always sets off a flare. It's so easy to give in to it and let it ruin our lives, and I've been guilty of feeling that sometimes, but you've given me hope for the future.

You take care too. xx

[Pippy25 in reply to Ladybird25]

You are so welcome. I have my down days and believe you me more than enough stress that I can shake a stick at, but I have to try somehow and keep focused and draw upon many techniques and ways of coping. I've called it in other posts my Mary Poppins bag of coping/ distraction techniques, which I draw upon, or on learning something new add into to the bag to help me get by as best as I can. I'm still learning to be kind to myself on days I don't feel great but that's because up until 9 months ago I was caring for a parent and prior to that two parents and had to focus on their needs at the time and had to keep up beat for us all. Everyone deals with their RD in their own way, but finding ways that help you to manage are helpful. What works for one person may help another or may not, that's why it's good to keep learning and finding out what works for you and not beat yourself up when things aren't great too. No matter how bad things get and sometimes it's hard to see the wood for the trees...there is always hope. xx

[Oshgosh]

No need to apologise for your rant.

It’s really hard when you’re in pain and cant see a way forward.

Yak ate.

[medway-lady]

Didn't see it but we all feel angst sometimes. Don't worry and eat chocolate that always works for me. lol x

[hatshepsut]

Sorry I missed it, but apologies unnecessary....we've all been there!!! Hope you get it sorted x

[bubblyalex in reply to hatshepsut]

Yup defo been there. I’m sorry I missed you rant ... I have done many too. 👍🏻

[Mmrr]

[Sheila_G]

No need to apologise. Getting things off your chest is very therapeutic. I hope you feel better today. x

[Lanteri]

No need to apologise we have all had days like this. Just rant away and hope we can support you. Do hope you are feeling better today and look after yourself

[Ruth12345]

I missed your rant but as everyone has said, no need to aplogise. We know how you feel. You are very good (sorry cant think of better word at this time of day) on this site. Take care and thinking of you.

🌻🌻🌻

[Otto11]

Sorry I didn’t see it either but we all need to rant sometime so this is a place you can as we all understand how it feels to be in pain. Especially made worse due to the uncertainties of our current situation. Take care x

[AgedCrone]

You rant away Deejojo...most of us have been where you are & know how awful it is.

Just hope you get some sort of treatment soon.

[springcross]

That's nice of you to apologise but not needed. I hope you can get something sorted soon. xx

[Wobbies]

Definitely no need to apologise. We all have times like that and it would be a poor world if you couldn't rant to other RD sufferers who really get how you feel. Sometimes, life just gets that bit too hard especially in the pain stakes. We all know that that is like.

[oldtimer]

I'm really glad that you felt that you could rant on here! Much better than bottling it all up and making you feel worse.
