need help

i need help…i feel tired..Emotionally…my step mom spends all her time complaining about her health (she has some problems of equilibrium or eyesight…don’t know exaclty but i suspect she is more hypocondriac than really sick)…and is ALLWAYS angry…i don’t know what to do with her:(

Re: need help

Have you tried getting her mind off of it? Give her something else to focus on? Get her out of the house with you, go for walks, try talking to her about your life instead of listening about hers all the time?

Re: need help


whenever someone starts talking about something else she just turn the discussion towards her, her "weak" health, her job, her "eveil" bosses...:(

Re: need help

Noor, take her to the doctor... she may suffer from depression(the anger bit)

and contant need for attention

Re: need help

Accept her the way she is and block her. It's like a husband blocking his wife's nagging :-D It's good for your own health and sanity.

Re: need help

^^ Thats cruel. I think she might depressed. Take her to the doctor.

Re: need help

Re: need help

:bummer: that’s what i think…but she is seing a lot of doctors…and as soon as one of them tell her she has some mental trouble…she label the doctor “extremist” and goes away:bummer:…she already did that in the past …what can i do?:teary1:

Re: need help

You can't do much other than listening to her. It's a psychological disorder and most the time the patient is not in control of the chemical imbalances.

Re: need help

:bummer:if it was as easy:D…the more i do for her…the less happy she is…cause she begins to take what i do for granted…and is unhappy of all i could do more, and that i’m not doing:D

Re: need help


ok...thanks..i can only leave home asap inshallah...

Re: need help

Maybe your father can convince her to see a psychiatrist?

Re: need help


my father is the kind to put his head in the soil while thunder rage.....

and he's the most patient man at listening to his constantly complaning wife....

Re: need help

I'm sure it bothers him too while his wife is whinning. Maybe it's time he did something about it :D

Re: need help

i hope he does before it begins to drag him down too:bummer:. my sister already spend most of her time with her inlaws because she feels better there than “at home”..and i am thinking about not talking french to my kids when i have some…so that she can’t ill influenced them…:bummer:

Re: need help

I've never had any patience at all for hypochondriacs. Nothing is more annoying than that particular affliction so all I'd have for you is mean-spiritied advice. Better to ignore her and enjoy your life. Or just start treating her OPENly as a hypochondriac, let it out in the open that you all think thats what her problem is. And let her ENJOY her misery, even feed into it, telling her what a shame it is how sick she is and too bad that she cannot enjoy life, that her life will likely be way too short and she will likely die young because she's always so sick. You poor woman, I pity you but TA-TA!! I have to go shopping for NEw SHOES now so BA-BYE!! Ok i did it, i got mean. see? I just cant take hypochondriacs!!

Re: need help

:rotfl:…that’s a funny way to look at it:D

Re: need help

Perhaps she needs more attention from your father. Ask your father to take her on a holiday trip. You will, then, have time to contemplate on the things impartially. Look at yourself. May be there is something you can do as well. Lack of attention and importance makes the women nag... Make her feel that she has importance in yours and other peoples lives. I won't be easy whatever you do. But hey what is there to loose otherwise....

Re: need help

he did that several times:bummer:…there were on week end in a castle last week…it did not help:teary1:

Re: need help

In a castle!!! WTH. I can imagine a majestic castle in a gloomy overcast city of Europe. Will make you go home asap...

Make them come to the Far East.
