Guest guest Posted April 27, 2008 Report Share Posted April 27, 2008 Oh Suzanne, I've been right where you are today. Felt the same way and thought the same thoughts. Even to friends and family being angry at you for not being who they want you to be. I know how bad it feels to be in that place and it's really bad. This is one place, although it is impersonal and not your loved ones like you would want it to be, where you are accepted just for who you are. I am real even though you don't know me. It doesn't matter a lot I'm sure, but I care. I've had a husband do things that made me feel like you feel. My mother, who has never really cared, acts as if there is nothing wrong with me and is so bothered when I say I don't feel well. My friends got tired of me and other than a few who live out of state that I've known forever have left me alone. Who knows they might leave me to if they lived near me and had to actually experience it. I'm going to be homeless and my daughter who I raised with and still give unconditional love says she can't help me. I live alone and feel alone and lonely a lot of the time. I know you just want a kind word and a little bit of understanding from friends and family. It doesn't seem like asking a lot does it. I'm telling you all of this about me because I want you to know that I feel better right now. I go to that place but so far I've always come back to being a relatively happy person. Sometimes I hate my family and friends and then I come back to my more normal place of accepting them and going on anyway. I've had to accept that I can't expect anything from anybody. I've spent a lot of time crying, but have stopped mostly because it messes up my sinuses so much. I'm so glad that the woman at church spoke to you about how hard it must be for you and I'm sorry it wasn't your mother or your husband. I wish I could wring their necks and point them in the right direction. I wish I could drop kick you husband for making you feel so badly about yourself. I wish I could make all the pain and fatigue and brain fog go away for you so that you could just tell them to take a flying leap and get on with your life. I really like your e-mail address. It makes me smile I care about you. Marti Suzanne yourock.irule@...> wrote: I am gonna go on and apologize if anything I say violates the religion rule. I am going to mention my religion, but I am in no way tryin to promote it or anything. Its just part of the pain today, and I think everyone could sympathize with this one.. I hate today. I cried all night last night because of a fight with my husband. Let me just say, because I dont want to talk about it, he said and did something last night that makes me feel less human and more like property. I was sitting in church today... even when I hurt, I still go, because I guess when it boils down, I still believe God is the only person who ever loved me really. Plenty say they do, but most of them end up being abusive in one way or another... I learned a long time ago, talk is cheap, but actions are honest. The pastor was talking about heaven today. I found myself actually crying because truthfully, I want to die. I dont want to be here anymore and i dont want to live. I dont want to fight anymore and i dont want to do this. I dont want to spend hours online just so I can in some impersonal way be around someone that " gets it " . I dont want to go to another doctor that doesnt care and hurts me more than helps. I dont want to hear any more of my so called loved ones' bull s**t. I hate life and everyone and everything in it. Before anyone noticed me crying, I left the sanctuary and went to the parlor. My church has a few rooms like the parlor, with super comfy couches and such for people who arent feeling well or nursing mothers or whatever to go and lie down or what ever. Its quiet and dimly lit, and they pipe the sermon in there, so you can hear, but not be around people. I sat there, and just cried. I snuck back in to the service at the end, mainly to tell my mom I was leaving. I sat down, because of course, I was tired and hurting from this disease that plagues my pathetic excuse for a life and had to take a break because I had walked for 100 feet. I went ahead and waited the 10 minutes until the service was over. Its not like it mattered really, my husband was home, asleep, because its not like he was going to be taking care of me today. its almost 4 an he just got up. must be nice. This lady walked up to me as I was leaving and told me " I want you to know that its so inspiring to see you here. I see you moving slowly because you hurt, and cringe when you have tostand up... and I want you to know I think you are brave for trying so hard. " It meant alot... but i cried again. One in a hundred act like she does and at least appreciate out efforts. Probably more like one in a thousand. As nice as that was, she isnt one of the people that it would have meant alot from... like my husband, family, or friends, who seem angry at me for slowing down their lives. sorry I am so negative today. i dont want to fake another smile to put others at ease. -Suzanne --------------------------------- Be a better friend, newshound, and know-it-all with Yahoo!

Guest guest Posted April 28, 2008 Report Share Posted April 28, 2008 I know how much a thought or caring glance like that from our friends or family would mean, but they are so close, they are used to it and a stranger saying that would be heart-felt. I am sorry you are in a bad way. My prayeys are with you. Hugs, On Sun, Apr 27, 2008 at 6:01 PM, Kristi Arcq happycricket87@...> wrote: > Hi Suzanne, > My name is Kristi. Here is a giant ((HUG))!

Guest guest Posted April 28, 2008 Report Share Posted April 28, 2008 Thanks so much all of you... it means alot. To answer few questions.. I have had fibro since I was 12 o 13, and I am about to be 20. So... most of my life. The stuff with my husband... I have ptsd from something that happened when I was 14. Because of that, some things trigger flashbacks andrelapses. Other than that, I manage to deal with it. I made my husband promise he would never push any of these issues before we got married, and he agreed, and now he is pushing some of those issues, and i am back having nightmares and flashbacks, and for the past few days, cant even deal with people touching me. so yeah.. he is pushing my limits. I am on anti-depressants, but they dont seem to help. As for doctors... no insurance=no doctors. Im surviving on left over prescriptions I had for loritab from past injuries. Again.. thank yall for the support. > > I am gonna go on and apologize if anything I say violates the > > religion > > rule.

My heart goes out to you that you are feeling the way that you do. Please don't give up, because God is going to reward you in the end and when you get right down to it, God is all that matters!!!! I'm proud of you for always pushing yourself to make it to church. I have seen too many hypocrites in the churches that I have gone to, so I have given up on church...but that doesn't mean that I have given up on God!
