Re: Does someone have some happy pills I can borrow? emotional stress

[Guest guest]

Some of you have been posting about physical and emotional stress bringing on

this monster. It starting me thinking, that shortly before I started having my

own symtoms, my very best friend in the world died from breast cancer, my

beloved grandmother died, my fur baby died, my father died, I had a miscarriage,

and my husband of 18 years had an affair and walked out leaving me to care for

our 5 yr old son. I loved my husband and had every intention of growing old

with him. All of this happen in a period of 3 yrs. I don't even like to think

about that time of my life. I was suicidal, and only by the grace of God and my

son I got through it. But it was all traumatic. I did read in a book at that

time, that having all that stress and distress can bring on serious illness. I

can relate to that.

Just my thoughts on what could have evoled in the way of emotional stress. It

seems most of us have had our share in one form or another.

Amy, I am so sorry. I can relate. I wonder from day to day to just how this

thing will progress with me. It has been 10 times worse just in the last 5

years. I am 43.... I use to be pretty energetic, liked to go out and have a good

time, could wake up in the morning without pain and not feel exhausted all the

time. Oh how I have changed.

But we don't all progress the same. I guess we just take one day at a time.

The car wreck is definately what probably put this FM into motion for you.

However, I wonder if it would have happened anyway at some point..... I believe

it is a disease that will rear its ugly head sometime no matter what. But I sure

understand the anger with the person who you had the wreck with.

I can't tie mine down to any specific event. I can tie it to a string of life

events that came one after another and were just emotionally traumatic.

I understand the anger and fear that you have.

hugs,

Debra V.

I am so tired of being in this pain....and sometimes reading all the posts makes

me think of

all the things to come & I just wonder what things will be like when I'm 70. I

am so depressed

today. It is coming up on the 3rd year anniversary of my auto accident that left

me with this

condition. I always wonder what if. I am so different then I am now. I don't

have the energy

or motivation to do anything anymore. The girl that hit me has NO IDEA what has

happened

to me & that really upsets me. She should know.
