i just do not know what to do anymore the whole thing is silly and upsetting

[XmasCarol52]

You must know by now how stupid and upset I get whenever my hot water heater runs,It has gotten so bad I yell until I cannot talk,talk about being stupid and silly.I mean who in there right minds yell at a hot water heater?I dread when the times comes and it starts to run.After of listening to it for five minutes I actually get a panic attack,I know why to I am afraid it wont shut off and nobody will come to shut it off either.If you had to listen to that humming all of the time you would be upset to.Have you heard of anything so stupid getting panicky over a stupid machine running>I dont get it the noise never bothered me before it ran I was fine one day it just hit me and ever since then I am a wreck.It kind of feels like someone is yelling at me and I have to tell them to shut up.Anyone have any ideas how I can overcome this? I mean i would love to open my windows when it gets warm but how can i will get into trouble with my yelling.It wont be running for awhile but the second i hear that noise i cringe.MY anxieties rise and i just cannot control my anger.I wonder since I do have those mood disorder it just makes me so anxious I have to yell.Mood swings can drive you crazy. I am a grown woman to yell at a machine is just nuts.I did tell my doctor about it he didnt say a word.This just goes to show you that I am not normal I am litterly scared when that thing runs believe me if I knew how to shut it off I would.This is so annoying and frustrating i think I am going insane. Do not want to be put away.

Carol, do you know much about the mechanics of water heaters? Learning about it might alleviate your fears. This site has good information: http://www.nationalboard.org/index.aspx?pageID=164&ID=247.

I see three things on that web page that I'd note: 1) most water heaters have a temperature-pressure relief valve that will activate if the temperature or pressure gets too high, 2) find out whether your water heater is electric or gas so you know the appropriate safety considerations, and 3) have professional periodic maintenance done. Having these three things in check should give you peace of mind.

Tell them to take you off of it right now.

I care so much about you carol and they are doing you a great injustice by keeping you in this medication.

You are cute yelling at a hot water heater Carol. I bet you'll be very surprised if it answered you back huh? @Concernedgal is right and it's the meds that are driving you to intolerance. Please tell your doctor or see a different one. These meds are no good for you at all hun.

The bad thing is that... depakote is injection form . If it was up to her....she probably wouldn't take it if it were in pill form.

Carol really needs to change her doctor and get new meds. It is possible. Good job Carol is not my relative or I would feel like having a right go at her doctor. It's really not fair how they are dealing with this.

It is not fair at all!
They are totally disregarding her wishes.
I would have a thing or 2 to say also.
Can you picture the 2 of us at that doctors office pointing our fingers at the doctor giving him what for. Lol
