I hope you can find some “me” time in the next few days so you can rest some and enjoy the time with your mom. I don’t think families do realize how much pain and how much our bodies fluctuate for many different reasons. Looking back at my doctors notes from 1998 to present, I was amazed at how many times he asked me if I felt stressed. Always said no, and he always wrote "severe depression, anxiety. Denies having stress. " So weird, but I didn’t feel like I was under stress - just wanted the migraines and pain to go away and sleep. We are very good actresses.
Hang in there - it won’t be long till you can begin your life the way you want to. hugs ~ Sandi
I can't even imagine what my world would be like without a supportive family. My heart goes out 2 u. I am so sorry to hear about how sick u r. Hang in there. Keep thinking positive thoughts! The stress itself will make Fibro 100x worse. Improve the amount of positive experiences every day. From taking a hot bath, watching your favorite show, playing on the computer, etc.. Doesn't have to b anything big just try to spoil yourself more with the little things. There is a online hypnotherapist that offers free online sessions. Even if u don't believe in hypnosis the session really relaxes your body which helps with stress. i go under the pain hypnosis and love it. I hope this helps.
Hang in there, I know you get stressed and want to be able to help out your family by supporting yourself, and yes they have helped you, but that’s what family does. When you get your disability you can start fresh , you & your kitty !
I pray you get it… If you don’t this country sucks !!! Because you need & deserve it more than … Well I’m to nice to say how I feel…
I am sending you lots of love … Hugs & blessings
PS: And your family doesn't want you to hurt yourself. They're just stressed about finances and perhaps a bit insensitive when it comes to your illness. And some people are really really bad at handling stress and take it out on innocent people, which they shouldn't. But just remember, as insensitive as they may be at times, they do care about and for you and are just stressed, what with the small kids and finances, etc.
we all feel your pain i myself am only 25 married two children and because of my fibro vulvavidonyia ic cronic constipation and recent but prolapsing experiences i too feel incompitant as a mother wife and no where where i thought i would be, but as a mother i look at my children and think how selfish it would be to just give up and instead evryday i am looking further and further into how i can manage these issues. i posted about sleep hypnosis and that has really helped with my sleep so n a way i just completed a goal that i did not set yet desperatly needed to i felt a sense of accomplishment everyday that i wake up and i do something i did not do the day befor the week befor ect i feel a lil bt accomplished. this may help you but remeber the ppl saying andmaking you feel a burden have way too much luxury ad for that time will catch up to them and when they are old and run down they too will feel almost maybe even full effect of what we feel now
