Frustration and what it means.

determinedtolose said: "Thanks for sharing Unique....it is important for everyone to get their annual check ups. I am so happy for you as well Unique....I pray that the Lord continues to heal you. :)"

pixiechic said: "hey! glad to hear everything came out okay for you. ::hugs:: thanks for the reminder to always get your annual check up."

pixiechic said: "i know it sounds corny, but just think positive. lead your life as healthy as you can, and make the most of each day. worrying is like paying interest on a loan that never comes due."

Heather said: "I decide to look up the meaning of this word because it is used so often these days. This is the meaning according to M-W's website. Main Entry: frus·tra·tion Pronunciation: (")fr&s-'trA-sh&n Function: noun 1 : the act of frustrating 2 a : the state or an instance of being frustrated b : a deep chronic sense or state of insecurity and dissatisfaction arising from unresolved problems or unfulfilled needs 3 : something that frustrates I thought that 2B was pretty interesting. That means we are in charge of whether or not we are frustrated on a daily basis. I'd rather not be frustrated most days."

Heather said: "I hope that your test results come back Okay for you. I know what you mean about the waiting. There is nothing you can do to speed them up. I will keep you in my thoughts!"

Heather said: "You can do it! Instead of taking comfort in food, take comfort in the fact that you are healthy and you have the power to change things that you want to improve on. Keep up the most excellent work and the faith!"

Elaine said: "I had never looked that word up before. That is an interesting meaning. A deep chronic sense or state of insecurity and dissatisfaction arising from unresolved problems or unfulfilled needs. That means basically resolving or addressing the problem could make it go away. Very interesting!"

Elaine said: "[QUOTE=alex]I've heard that frustration is good motivation, is this true?[/QUOTE] I guess it depends on how you handle frustration. If you can handle frustration in a constructive manner, you can use it to grow. If the frustration isn't worth the hassle, then "change" might be in order."

Elaine said: "Just about any problem can be resolved. Some problems are easier to resolve than others. But it all can be done with a little effort."

Darren said: "All the best to you. I'm sure everything will work out well."

cvalh said: "my problem is with things that i can't resolve. i'm such a worrier! guess that's not so good for my frustration levels :-P but I suppose I could get things done quicker and resolve SOME things."

cvalh said: "mmm, there are definitely things you have no control over. they might be resolved eventually, but not necessarilly thru your doing."

cvalh said: "Unique, I know what you mean. I've done many "waiting games" with doctors as well, for epilepsy, hearing loss, and other issues that were never figured out, even by the docs. what if's can drive a person insane, but sometimes addressing the issue in your mind prepares you for it... and often, when you finally do get news, it's a relief, because you'll imagine the worst. hope things continue to turn out well for you."

UniqueMystique said: ".....I agree. I can't stand being frustrated. I've some other health issues currently going on. I keep going for tests...and then having to wait. I was getting fed up and frustrated with the situation so I would eat. I finally realized that I couldn't change the situation and adding more weight to my frame wasn't the answer. I decided to take charge and do something for myself, for a change. I can't change the outcomes of the tests...I can't change the waiting period to get the results. All I can change is how I deal with things. I'm chosing to not be frustrated....what will be, will be."

UniqueMystique said: "[QUOTE=SnapPea]I hope that your test results come back Okay for you. I know what you mean about the waiting. There is nothing you can do to speed them up. I will keep you in my thoughts![/QUOTE] Well...I got my last test results back and they were NORMAL!!!!! *Jumping up and down* I will have to retest again in June and if that one comes back 'normal'...I'll be in the clear. BTW...I don't think I mentioned what my health concerns were/are. I went in for a routine pap exam and ended up having precancerous cells. I had undergone surgery to remove them and my prior pap, after the surgery, came back 'abnormal'. She opted to wait and retest me because she thought the 'abnormality' may have been from scar tissue from the surgery. Looks as if she were right. Keep your fingers and toes crossed for me. :) PS....ladies...if you've neglected to have your yearly exam....make a point to get it done. It might save your life!!! If I hadn't and this had gone undetected...it could have turned to cancer."

UniqueMystique said: "Everything happens for a reason. Sometimes we think that the things that happen may be unfair.....but we are meant to experience things...good and bad. I always try to keep a positive outlook. Life is a gift. Enjoy it! But don't neglect yourself either. If you are past due for a check-up.....schedule it. There's no sense in putting things off. It's better to catch something early...than too late. Catching things early allows us to enjoy our life for a longer period."

UniqueMystique said: "Thanks guys! I've been battling this for almost a year now. I just hope that the battle continues to stay won. :) It's amazing how fast you can let things get you down. I did for a while and it increased my weight. I was mad at the world and turned to 'comfort food'. Now....comfort pounds...BE GONE!!!!! I realized that I couldn't change what was happening to me....but I could change how I handled things. Funny...when I decided to change how I looked at things and how I handled them....I got good news. :)"

UniqueMystique said: "This is the first time I've every had to play the 'waiting' game. I've been around other people that have had to play it...but I've never been on this side of the fence. It was hard....not knowing....testing....waiting...not knowing...then getting hit with bad news...again and again. Kinda gets to a person after a while. Hard to talk with others about it too...because they don't want to discuss anything that might be 'cancer'....they just shove it aside and say, "You'll be OK. You'll be fine. You have to be." It was and still is hard for me. I may have gotten good news on this last testing...but there's still the future tests....still the waiting...the wondering. I'm not the "what if" type of person...and people that are constantly doing the "what if" scenarios drive me absolutely nuts.......but in this case...I found myself doing the "what if's"...and that made me even crazier."

UniqueMystique said: "I know, Pixie. I'm doing much better with my mindset now. When I was first hit with this news...I thought I could conquer it. Then I started getting bad news after bad news.....my confidence waivered for a while and I took comfort in food. I finally took a good, long, hard look at myself and where it was getting me and I decided to make the effort to change. I decided that I was going to be in the best shape of my life by the time I'm 40...which is three years away. I know that I can do this and I intend on doing it!"
