Fibromyalgia Support Group

Hi, Sorry to hear you are sad. I have had those times also. Talking to a friend usually cheers me up. I have one that I talk to she usually puts me back to prosective. Hope you feel better soon Beege

I am that way this week...cause it is "My Special Week"...sigh...I always get either Pissy, Sappy, Weepy...No one has a Clue what to say to me...Just best off in my bed letting the tears fall where they may...I will be better by Monday...I Hope you are Too !!

Yes I do get like that. No reason and God forbid if husband asks whats wrong. I don't have any great answers though. I guess I just wallow in it for a while and then try to pull myself togwther. I know this is much easier said than done as sometimes it can go for days. I had a total hysterecomy years ago and on hrt so I can't even blame my hormones. Damn fibro, I was never like this before. My doc kept trying to tell my it was depression at the start. My eldest stepdaughter who is 24 now said I was the least depressed person she had ever known!

Maybe rty the dark chocolate idea. Forget who posted it, but apparently it helps raise (can't remember what it's called) but what makes us happy.

Take care and I hope you feel better soon - hugs xx

Yes I have. What do I do??? I've been put on Celexa, about two years ago now because I had this darkness that I didn't think I was ever going to come out of. It is the only medication that got me out of that. A sympathetic friend, not one who tries to cheer you up in a sense that you feel even more wrong for being sad and confused, but someone who will listen to you and then try to take you window shopping or out of the house for a fresh air; that's always helpful.

Some times just acknowledging the feeling and saying ok that's how I feel that's all it is a feeling and it will pass works for me. Sometimes music helps and getting out in the fresh air.

If it is on going you might have a doctor do a blood test to see where you are if your pre menopause or going through menopause this can sometimes make women feel like this.

Hope you feel better soon.

Hugs

I felt like that many days, everything seemed to make me cry and I mean cry hard. I remember telling my doctor last winter, "if this is depression it's not like any kind I've ever had before". One day I manage alright the next I fall apart over stubbing my toe, the next I do OK and the next it repeats this cycle. I haven't been feeling like that for maybe 6 months now and no clue why I did or why I don't now. It's so hard just trying to survive each day with Fibro maybe it just builds up inside us and the tears start finding their way out. I do hope you get to feeling better.

sometimes i say it's chemical. i ride it out and wait for it to change. or i phone someone i care a lot for. it's hard to get through those days. remember that emotions are temporary. break it up with action if you can. take a little walk. watch a bit of tv. clean up your makeup table. anything to be a little active. i throw things out. it's hard for me to do.and then i feel virtuous.

I used to get that way when I had my "special week" as Dakota says.

Not so much since I'm past menopause, but still sometimes it happens monthly - just not as long or as strong.
