Re: Help. Mental/physical breakdown. LS? Linz? anyone?       05/20/04 06:19 AM Edit Reply Quote Lilybear Reged: 04/05/04 Posts: 172 Loc: east coast, usa Ohhh jenX:-( Its okay to share your feelings and frustrations here. I'm glad you feel comfortable doing that. Life isn't always perfect, and we need to express all our feelings. I, too, get frustrated with my illness as you do with both of yours. Before I came to this site, I just couldn't help crying or being a little upset bcos I just wanted to feel better. I wanted to be able to do things, and be like everyone else: go to work, go to school, and even go out shopping w/out having to get ill. First, you are not nuts & I'm sure you are very responsible and a hard-working employee. We can't help feeling this way or what our illness does to us. Other people who are 100% healthy could not understand unless they have been there. I think Heather said this in her book or somthing similiar to it: "Put your health first." So, try not to worry about the responsibilities of work while you are at home. Focus on you and getting better. I used to think "I can't handle IBS forever." I still think that way sometimes. Bcos it puts a hinderance on my life. But I think if I can just get through this day or the next few hours. I try not to think about forever or the next couple of months. I set small goals for myself to get through now. I am sooo sorry you are feeling terrible with fibro. I truly wish taht your doctor will be able to help you feel better and allow you to get some rest. You are going through a tough time right now and its okay to feel this way. Is there anyone at home who can help you? Like make you meals or get you more heating pads? Does your boss know you are dealing with two chronic illnesses? I wish I could be of more help, but you are in my prayers. Sending hugs & positive vibes always. *Lilybear P.s. I just started reading this new book & its been helpful as well as relaxful. There is this quote and I just loved it. When I get frustrated with things, I think about this quote and it helps. Wanted to share it with you: "We cannot write in water... we cannot carve in water. Water's nature is to flow and that is how we should treat life... emotion, negative or positive. Do not deny it but always let it flow through and then away." -Anonymous Print     Remind Me     Notify Moderator
