I told her yeah I would feel depressed too if I was experiencing those same frustrations. Then I told her I hoped she felt better and I would see her tomorrow at our family party for D5's birthday and ended the convo. Tried to empathize, but not play the rescuer role. Is that more what she needs from me???
YES.
Are you saying you DIDN'T go over and take the trash out for her? What about going with her to her dr's appt.??
I'm a little confused.

Right, no trash and didn't commit to doctor's appointment one way or other (it's at 4 pm today, and I had said I wasn't sure if I would go) and then she immediately launched into all the other ways she felt bad. She was listing her 'feel bads' so fast from the start of the convo I barely had time to say ANYTHING other than my empathizing at end and then getting off phone.
I am torn about the doctor's appointment because I WOULD like to hear from the doctor where HE thinks she should be in her recovery and is medically capable of doing. Thoughts?
