Everything is just coming down on me ..

Or that's how it seems.

I've been ill, still am. Lots of pain and with that comes depression. The world looks so dark right now.

I miss my Mum SO freakin' much it hurts.

I need to pick myself up and dust myself off, or something ...

Just needed to vent folks.

You are all amazing and I appreciate having this place to type my thoughts.

Pain really makes it difficult to function well, to feel well or anything good.

It changes people...

Please take care of yourself, and vent all you want!

We are here for you.

I think people don't really realize how much effort goes into hiding feelings and pain.


I get so damned tired .. so tired.

Dear AA, or Kesha, I'm not sure how you prefer to be addressed...

Hang in there. While I don't know the details of your illness, from reading between the lines, I'm hoping and assuming it's a temporary condition.

I understand being in the dark place, but remember that it wasn't always like this, and it won't always be like this either. At some point you'll be looking back at this time in your life. You probably can't really feel that right now, but I'm sure you do know it. There's love, kindness and joy in your future yet. You just have to hang in through the blackness as best you can. It really is temporary.

Take care of yourself. It's important.

Maybe it's to appreciate what I have and to stop feeling sorry for myself ?

I find I'm being really hard on myself for this funk I'm in and that's just not helping. I have to let it go.

whatever 'it' is.

ah well, I'm glad to have this venting place.

Take care of each other won't you?

chronic fatigue syndrome, osteo arthritis and herniated discs. my husband who was taking care of me passed away on 5/27/12.

the physical and mental pain are terrible.

i'm taking an antidepressant and i think it's starting to work. i also take ativan because since my husband got sick i started getting panic attacks.

I have health issues and I'm a year and a half out of two major losses myself. I just tell myself I only have to get through this day...that's it. Don't think too far ahead. Hard to do, but I hope it helps. My therapist has taught me that you really have to be aggressive in changing your thinking and how you react to things. It takes practice! Hang in there. All we have is this moment we are currently in.

It's so hard. Sometimes it seems like the pain will never end, and it's like being in a fog trying to figure out how to make sense of everything else when you hurt so much inside it's nearly impossible to concentrate. I hope it gets better for you. Love, and hang in there.

I find baths help tremendously and just allow me to grieve and relax.
