Common Questions and Answers about 5 stages of death depression

death

Avatar f tn I'm living it right now and to be honest, I am aware of 5 to 7 steps or stages of the grief process, but they don't matter, because you survive one day at a time ....baby steps, and not time frame, since everyone heals at their own pace. It's been 2 years for me and I do feel better, but I am not yet completely healed...it takes a long time.
1322157 tn?1279656681 It is like a death - the death of your 'normal' life. And then you go through all the stages or mourning: Denial - this can't be my life, there has to be a cure Anger - Why me??!! (or you have anger towards the doctor, the person driving the car who hit you, etc...) Bargaining - I will do ANYTHING to make it better and the pain go away! Depression - Because you realize this is now your life and there is nothing to fix it.
Avatar f tn I just went in for a transvaginal ultrasound yesterday (11/10) and the tech told me that I was 5 weeks and 5 days. She said she could see the sac and the yolk sac, but no baby yet. She told me this is normal and that the doctor will schedule me for another one in about 1.5 weeks (she did). I am worried and scared to death. I'm 24 and both my husband and I are very excited about having our first child. Please help put my mind at ease. Thank you in advance for any replies.
Avatar m tn ve been on a whole slew of meds for bi-polar none of which have been helpful for combating the depression stages which have escalated recently. My psychiatrist is starting me on Zoloft to help with the somewhat overwhelming depression. However, my research says it can cause Serotonin Syndrome, which can lead to death and that's pretty scary. My psychiatrist says that it's very rare and shouldn't worry about it, but I'm still concerned.
Avatar m tn Please keep in mind that this varies according to the location of the metastisis. I personally know of survivors of many years with mets to the bone. It would also depend on your Mother's general health and what treatment will be prescribed. Another point is that all the lumps you describe in your Mother's breasts may not be cancerous; it would only take one malignant lump to cause the metastisis. Kindest regards ....
Avatar f tn My father is in the final stages of dementia. He can no longer hold anything or walk. He quit speaking about 4 years ago. I just was recently told that he no longer chews. This has been for about 6 weeks. His food is thickened so he can swallow it. He has lost about 20 pounds in 5 months. His albumin level is 2.7, and 2.5 is sometimes the criteria for hospice care. My question is, how much longer before he loses his ability to swallow?
Avatar f tn I think there are different stages of addiction..the early stages which are most easily broken and then the last stages where one has to do or die. Actually as i type I realize that one always has to do or die because if one does not stop in the early stages it can progress to a much more difficult time and a more difficult recovery.
1481424 tn?1288292228 I sleep 10 hours at night and usually take a 2 hour nap during the day. Part of it deals with depression and part of it deals with my medication. There are times that I will wake up at 3am and can't go back to sleep and then I definitely have to take a nap during the day to make it through the day.

2123020 tn?1335045458 There are 5 levels of Chronic Kidney Disease that doctors use to determine how advanced your kidney disease is. Level 1 and 2 are mild, 3 is medium, 4 is advanced, and 5 is end stage renal disease (needing a transplant).
Avatar f tn Hi, I received good replies back about the 2 different scales that measure the biopsy results. However, are these stages of cirrohsis? I'm not sure I understand this part yet. I am preparing for tx and am quite apprehensive about the whole thing. I stll have to get documentation of contraceptives then I can start tx.They recommended Mirena (IUD) because it involves only 1 hormone. My insurance does not cover it so if I do not want to afford $900.00 I can take the deprovera injection.

1326947 tn?1277294765 Interested in seeing what my report card has to say.Thanks to all of you, I have a list of questions for her. I have never had a liver biopsy have never been jaundiced or any side effects that would have indicated I even had HCV. I had just been monitoting my blood work over the past 34 years. So one of my questions would be when should we consider that unpleasantry.(the biopsy) I appreciate everyones input. It's been extreemly helpful to me.
Avatar f tn Stage 1 is considered a small amount of fibrosis. Stages 2 and 3 is considered a greater amount of fibrosis or scarring meaning the disease has progressed. The more fibrosis the harder it is on the liver to carry out it's functions. As the damage progresses further, many scars can form together, which can lead to stage 4, or cirrhosis.
Avatar n tn I thought there were only 4 stages of liver disease, not 6. Anyone know what the pathology report cirrhosis stage 6/6 might mean? Thank you.
Avatar m tn I am so worried that my past has come to haunt me... I had exposures to sex workers a number of years ago, 5 years, and every contact was always protected. There were 3 ladies where oral sex was involved unprotected, but apart from that everytime it was protected and once was receptive. these were ladies from reputable places but still they were sex workers and they were always careful with condoms and I never seemed to notice if they broke, I think I would've know if that was to happen....
Avatar f tn I also started self harming in between the 2 long admissions, reason being when I self harmed it eased the constant nagging thoughts of death. I was tried on a higher dose of anti-depressants and later in the several month long admission on a low dose of anti-psychotics. My current medication (the same since leaving hospital 3 months ago) is 325mg efexor and 10mg zyprexa.
1348086 tn?1370783185 In college, I had a really bad panic attack in the middle of a lecture, there were over 200 students in the room, I was sitting just a couple rows from the prof, right smack in the middle, I created quite a scene trying to collect my things and run out of the class in front of everyone. It happened a couple more times, soon I stopped going to class, then to school, then leaving my appartment, out of fear of having more attacks in public. But the only way to get out of it is....
Avatar n tn That would be where a life event (ie...death of a loved one, loss of job or financial status, break up of a relationship) causes feelings of depression. Usually, situational depression will improve once your life situation has improved, or once you have worked through the feelings associated with whatever loss you've had. Could you elaborate a bit about what is going on? It would be great to have some more info, so we could advise you what your options are.
Avatar m tn Have you been diagnosed with depression, anxiety or health anxiety? Are you in any kind of counseling? Have you been under a lot of stress lately. The reason I'm asking all of these questions is because the more we know the better we can try and help you.
