finding my way Posted May 7, 2010 Report Share Posted May 7, 2010 It's fantastic to see you back Sue! I'm so sorry for your struggles:(... could some of it be medical or medication isssues? We do not think what you are going through is stupid... it sounds very difficult. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David O Posted May 7, 2010 Report Share Posted May 7, 2010 Good morning Ms. Sue,I periodically want to check in on my old friend and I'm so sorry that your days are like this. i would love to give you half of my energy-- I sleep 4-5 hours per night then bounce around all day like a giddy boy (my wife jokingly calls me a giant infant), excited to be alive-- and I have very good reason to be so. But my heart goes out to you dear fiend and my hope is that some day you will have healed enough to be in the world as much as you want to.I had some thoughts that I want to share with you later, when I have a bit more time to write.Ciao chica muy linda,David Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lindamomof7 Posted May 7, 2010 Report Share Posted May 7, 2010 Hi Sue I am glad to hear from you but I see that you are really struggling and i truely understand....I wish there was something I could do to help, I do know the difficulties in functioning when feeling really bad and feeling flat and not processing anything in life. Please make sure you take your meds and I hope you feel better. I am sending hugs and love your way and please know we all miss you and your chiper "voice" here on the forum...

Guest ASchwartz Posted May 7, 2010 Report Share Posted May 7, 2010 Hi Sweetsue,We all keep messing up but, what is going on with you? What is happening?Allan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kaudio Posted May 8, 2010 Report Share Posted May 8, 2010 I agree with Allan. The messes we make are not bad if you deal with them one at a time. Perhaps talking about it will help you sort it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest GingerSnap Posted May 8, 2010 Report Share Posted May 8, 2010 Sue: Don't be "sorry". If you are comfortable, give a little more detail. I am betting someone else probably understands this better than I do but I do know with all that you have been through that just one more little trivial ant hill probably seems like a mountain because you are so exhausted from all the past upsets. I would encourage you to talk it out here or with someone somewhere as I think that will help. You're old?:eek: I'm ancient then! Many days I feel unprepared to meet the challenges. I am always saying what a waste school was because they never taught us to actually do anything or deal with anything - all those wasted years! Since I am absolutely ancient, there are no older relatives anymore to give me advice so I am sort of it.:confused: Once you have some successes, that will help. Also, how much of this could be medications that you are receiving. Make sure you are getting fresh air, exercise and eating right - this will make you feel better - oh yes it will, I mean, I would know this since I am, after all, ancient. Sending you good vibrations! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
finding my way Posted May 8, 2010 Report Share Posted May 8, 2010 maybe it's a time to have friends around? You have been so alone in what you've faced.... we all need support sometimes.... We are here, SueSue!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
katleen Posted May 8, 2010 Report Share Posted May 8, 2010 Hang in there, SweetSue. Let your brain do some healing. Don't be hard on yourself...it avails nothing but more bad feelings. Your messages to others are always so supportive and kind. You've helped me so much. Give yourself the same.love and hugskatleen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pleemo88 Posted May 15, 2010 Report Share Posted May 15, 2010 i'm having a similar issue just not as intense! I have absolutely no desire to get out of bed ever!! every day I wake up between noon and lately 2ish. All my therapist could tell me was "just force yourself". i'm not very good and "forcing myself" to do anything but I am trying hard to work on it. I'm trying to just keep busy with things to distract myself from going back into my bed by doing things for me. I've recently just finished some are projects and it feels nice actually accomplishing something with my time:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Calla Posted May 15, 2010 Report Share Posted May 15, 2010 When I try and think about describing how I feel I often think my brain is like a gas hob. When someone turns on one of the rings and the gas comes out and they press the little ignite button. And sometimes there are several clicks but it doesn't fire up. I don't know if that makes sense written down!! But then I think I am just a bit stupid. But when I think about it I'm not stupid I'm just misfiring. So I can understand what you are saying.Hope you are ok. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sweetmom2 Posted May 15, 2010 Report Share Posted May 15, 2010 Im like that in social situations. Im always at war with myself whether to go or not and if i do i regret going but always i try to find ways to be proud of myself. Like at least i went or at least i said something.

Luna- Posted May 15, 2010 Report Share Posted May 15, 2010 ... I have absolutely no desire to get out of bed ever!! ... All my therapist could tell me was "just force yourself". Yes, it's hard, isn't it? What goads me up when I'm in that state, is knowing that if I don't, I will only fall deeper and deeper into the pit and have a harder climb out. And it's bad enough already, thanks. SweetSue: try to be gentle with yourself? You've been through a rough time, you do what you can do... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
