Joint pain in hip

Symptoms & Treatments

Oh, I am still too new to this site to figure it all out but I understand what you are saying (the indents are getting bigger and then it just takes the "reply" button of).

It's true, depression, I guess just like Fibro, is unique to everyone. I agree with you about not wishing it on anyone, it is horrible and people who have not suffered from it can't understand that you can't just snap out of it, which I was told by a "former" friend. How ignorant is that?

I try to battle it as much as I can and try to stay positive but sometimes it just sucks me into quicksand and I have a hard time coming out of it. I have found, for me, to just let go and have a couple of dark days and I always have come out the other side ready to fight another day. I also wonder if my mind and body are telling me to just shut down and force rest because when I come out of the real bad low, I feel better regarding body and mentally.

We were lower to middle middle class, not wealthy but we had some money saved up, which when the economy crashed helped us a lot. Now we are just low/lower middle class. We are struggleing with our bills and when anything comes extra, something has to be cut. That is because my husband's income has fallen and I have none. Well that's neither here nor there, I will look for a job come hell or high water. The stress with our finances is getting too much.

Whenever you feel down remember that there are always people on here who will talk with you and help you if they can. I do not come onto the chat on here but I am on Facebook if you would ever like to speak with me. That being said I understand that there are some battles that we must fight alone (something people do not always understand). Mike x

Thank you, Mike, I appreciate your offer. I might take you up on it. Sometimes I just crawl into myself and don't want to be bothered and other times I want to talk about how I feel. I am actually still learning to open up about some things. It's been liberating and scary at the same time because I was used to keeping everything bottled up and didn't want to be a bother or burden to anyone.

Thank you again, Mike, it is very kind of you to offer to be there for me, Farida

Opening up can be really difficult, but it is something that in my experience helps. It is not something that is easy, or enjoyable but liberating is the right word. You will not be a burden. Sometimes opening up can be good for both sides of the conversation.
