You probably arent gonna want to hear this but oh well here it is anyways

I was dx'd with fibro in 2003 before the dx I had been with the same woman for 3 years and during the time with her had been to more than 10 doctors the dx came about 8 months after I had finally left her. Since then have been in 3 serious relationships. Honesly fibro is a hard one for people to wrap their heads around cuz there are no outward symptoms - its not like your limbs are hanging at an odd angle you dont ooze blood ect people cant see the disease.

My best advice is dont worry about a relationship not now just focus on you and some day perhaps someone will come along that can handle the disease but if not its not the end of the world trust me on that one

Thanks Brain... I just want to sleep for like a week. I'm sorry you've gone through all of that. And you are right, it is hard for people to understand and stick by your side. I just thought I'd found the right girl. I knew we wouldn't be together forever... I just didn't think it'd be like this.

:((((( for your loss.... but like Pickle said, work on you and once your in a better state of mind and place, then the right one will come along. You want to stand on your own two feet and fall in love with the right woman a strong woman yourself.
If you just found out about all of this BP stuff, it takes a while for it to sink in, learn all about it, be compliant with meds, try your best to be self sufficient, it is a lot to take in.....
some people just can handle when we are in a bad place.... some people love to fix us, I would rather see you help yourself so you don't have to rely on someone.... yes???? No????

I've known about the BP since 2007. The physical issues I've just found out in the past few months has been what's really wrong.

I'm trying to be strong. I know no one can fix me, but I'm always so alone. Not many friends, and relationships are hard for me. Either I like someone a lot- love even- but I've only found people to go on a few dates with before I got bored with them. I didn't get bored with her. I know that's awful, but I have standards for myself and for the ones I am with.

So sad, too bad for me. lol.... Sorry for the emotional post. I am trying to become numb again. Just shoving it all back down.

Not best to repress...

maybe deal with your emotions and cry... it can be so cleansing, let it out, it can't hurt....

You will find her, its not like your fugly!!! Hang in there.

Fugly, lol. I hate crying. I have some sort of PTSD with crying. *maybe trigger* but when I was little my dad would hold a pillow over my face until I stopped crying.

i'm sorry shlay. breakups are brutal. no sugarcoating that fact.

(((hugs)))

Thanks Mojo.

I'm really sorry, Shlay. It's disappointing, to say the least. It's also hard to deal with both physical and BP crap.

No OD'ing. Permanent solution to a temporary problem.
