feeling really down this evening

Hi everyone

Just came on to just say I am feeling really down this evening. As I have said in my last post I have been really lucky and haven't had this dreadful pain for about 4 years but it has flared up again. I have started taking Amitriptilene which helped before but I know it will take a while. The pain is quite bad tonight and I suppose I am feeling sorry for myself but the thought of having this for another few months or more depresses me. I look around at everyone else and think how lucky they are and I ask why me. Sorry for being so negative but it is nice to be able to say how you feel to people who understand the pain Thanks for listening

Hi Maryjane,

Feeling down is part of this crap! Don't beat yourself up you have every right to be mad and sad. Be gentle with yourself and just blob out for a while.

My focus became not letting the dips in confidence be too deep. That worked most of the time. My therapist will tell you (hahhaa if she could) that I had completely crazy times and would email her out of desperation. God I don't know how they do it.

Having someone to unload too takes the pressure off. I found my friends lack of understanding frustrating. People just don't understand unless it's happening to them. Have you got someone to unload to Maryjane. We are all here for you!

Take care

Hey Maryjane

We have all been there (some of us still there) just down in the dumps...i mean waaaay the fuck down!!! Read my post ``Feeling Really Low``...

I have a feeling you will be getting better soon, just be patient girl.

In the meantime, feel free to unloud here and know that we TRULY know where you are coming from! Today I walked out of my doctors waiting room after waiting 2 hours just to see my GP to get my blood work back!! I said F this.<

This is a beast that we are constantly fighting off. I have done a total 180 on my life. Changed my diet, clothing, activity level.

When I am stressed i just go on youtube and listen to zen meditation music, it helps me sometimes. Other times, I try to occupy my time with crafts, etc....to keep my mind off this crap condition.

Were here for you...

Your V sister,<

Hi Maryjane, can relate you how you feel hun. I have been feeling like a mad women over the last week or so! When I get like this I have to say to myself just take one day at a time.

If that is too much I just take one half hour or even one moment at a time and try to do something to take my mind off the feelings

Yes unloading on here, with a friend, family or therapist really does help. I been crying on and off for a couple of days, its pmt time again grrrrrrrrrrr

Keep strong and we are all here for you and understand how you feel
