Dear Segaya and Lady Crown,

It was great to hear from you both. I have so been missing you both, wondering how you are doing, and just so happy to see you again. I'm just in and about to go to bed and checked and found you here. I need to sleep but will post again in the morning. But will sleep happy having heard from you again.
Love Sapphira

Hello everyone

I have been reading all the posts recently but I’m not on top form at the moment. I had a bit of a health scare last weekend and all due to stress. It was a bit of a light bulb moment!
I have learned a valuable lesson and hope I can pass on some of what I have learned. It’s now time to get rid of any stress that I can’t do anything about, I’m not sure how I will deal with each issue as it arises but I’m determined that I will as I’m not going to allow anything to give me any more problems in my life. If it’s not good for me then it’s out of my life. I think we all deserve to put ourselves first for a change otherwise we are not going to be strong enough to be supportive of others.

I know everyone here is so supportive and I hope we can carry on like that and support each other while we all try to get rid of the problems that are holding us back.

I look forward to hearing how everyone moves forward, each achievement should be celebrated.

Thinking of you all.

Jan

Hai all,
Just want to say I am on my way back... Thinking of you all the time but I am very, very tired so please be patient.... Love in pink for all, Segaya

Hello dear everyone. I wonder what is happening. I had severe chest pain the other night and went into A and E department in the early morning. Am fine but have to have tests done. Things were all great. A massive shift forward and so much to get done and sort out. Maybe too much at one go, but I got there. Now have lost my voice, so I think life is saying something. Just want you all to know that I too have been thinking of you and am a bit shocked that we are all going through so much health stuff at the moment. Segaya, Jan, and even you Lady Crown have had your fair share of stress also. But it seems we are all taking it easy for ourselves. Will tal again soon. Love and thoughts all,
Sapphira

Hello Sapphira

I’m sorry to hear you have been ill….what a coincidence!!! I was rushed into the cardiac unit last Friday (18th April) I had severe chest pain and was kept under observation for a couple of days but the tests were negative for heart attack and angina. I was told the most likely cause is stress which sounds spot on to me.
I have an appointment with a cardiologist in May to do further tests but I have been told to consider Tako Tsubo Syndrome as they found Ischemic Inversion/T Wave Inversion, have a look at this link http://www.takotsubo.com

I hope you are not overdoing things. I had a bit of a ‘talking to’ because I went back to playing squash and swimming a few days after I got out of hospital, it was pointed out to me that I was testing my body out rather than listening to it. I think that was very true as I wanted to see if I could still do these things. Maybe it’s your body telling you to pamper yourself and try to avoid stress. Please look after yourself –that’s what I was told so now I’m passing that on to you. I think we should have an agreement on that!

I look forward to hearing from you as I get the sense and I don’t know why that you have made some progress and I’d love to hear that is true.

Regards
Jan

Oh Jan how terrible!! I hope you are recovering now? Squash after such a scare does sound like a little too much, but I am sure you know what you are doing! lol.

And yes, I'm back, and it's been too long!

Nova :o)

Hi Novam

It's good to hear from you after all this time, how are you doing now? We must catch up with what has been going on.

Your 'little' girl must be leaving school soon, I hope she has been able to get over the problem she had.

I'm really looking forward to hearing more from you .

Regards
Jan

Hello Novam,
I understand you were here before. I am Segaya and I am a member since just before christmas. I am reading all the time but not writing very much at the moment because of recovering from being ill. Glad to meet you and hope to read more from you in the time to come...
regards Segaya :o)

Funny!!
I called my cardioloist just last thurstday.My next appointment was somewhere around the 15th of june... I had chest pain last week for the first time in years and just wanted him to know that. Now my appointment is scaduled for the 13th of may......
Is there something in the air??????
I really wonder what is happening.... And why now three of us have this.....mmmm
Ideas???
Love and very pinky hugs, Segaya

Sapphira may I ask when you had your chestpain...mine was on wednesday and the day before......

Hello Segaya, I hope you feel better soon!! It's good to meet you too, I shall have to spend some time catching up on posts!

Jan, hello :o) She is doing really well. I am hoping she won't grow up with the emotional damage I have suffered as I know that will go a long way to protecting her from the life I have endured. Hopefully the therapy put in place for her will serve her well and restore and repair her emotional 'boundaries'. She is very much her own person now, able to say no and mean it, and while she is independent, she is able to ask for help when she needs it.

As for me, I still have the odd day of complete fogginess, but for the most part I have turned a corner. While I haven't yet gone down the therapy road, I know I will do, but for now I am doing a lot of inward-looking and finding out some interesting things about myself that are making me feel good about myself. I've had so many years of being made to feel bad about myself that the doors to the *good* me were welded shut! What I am finding out about me has given me a new strength to move forward and finally get on with my life, not live the life someone else is imposing on me.


Sapphira, I hope you feel better soon too!

Nova :o)
