Do you ever feel like you're just sad? Drowning in it, wallowing in it and waiting for it to devour you? So sad that even kisses and hugs from your babies make you want to cry. So sad that you just want to sleep forever...
I slept all day yesterday...and I wish I could do it again tomorrow...
I'm just sad
Hi,
I do feel that way sometimes. Often sleep is the only escape from the pain and exhaustion. When nothing else works, sleep is always an option if I'm not at work. I'm sorry you are sad. Hang in there.
Hugs,
Sara
It sounds like you do need sleep. Allow yourself a pity party. When you get a little stronger make yourself a vision board of happiness. Anything that makes you smile, laugh, dream, inspire, and make a list of ten things or five if ten is too much , that you like/ love to do. These are tools to keep you in the game. Think of them as a survival kit. Supplements too, like garçinia cambogia and B12. Many hugs for you - hope you feel better soon. Please talk to your doc if you don’t!
I have made myself 2 CD's full of Angry songs, & 2 of Sad songs, etc. When I get so bad that I am about to implode, I put one in my DVD player & sing & shout along & if I cry that is okay & if I feel the need to punch a pillow or a stuffed animal I go ahead & do it. & sometimes I just go sit on the shower floor, I have the hottest water I can stand, I have it beating down on my head & then I bawl, I scream I do whatever I must to get it out of my system & It is a part of my unique ways of coping!!!

Hey lilybit,
I am so sorry and I hear you. When our bodies are in constant pain, fatigue and fog it is only natural that our bodies desire sleep. It is an escape from the pain. Try doing something that you enjoy that doesn't require a lot of movement. I think someone already recommended watching TV which does help for me at least, but if crafts or writing or any other low movement activity is your thing then please give it a whirl. It may bring you a little bit of happiness and peace. I pray you feel better soon!
