    This has been an awful day my osteoarthrites in my knees have given me hell. Even my strongest pain killers did not help.

    Dear Catherine,
    When you awakened me this morning at 4:05am, was that the time you took your last breath two years ago?  I woke up and looked all over the house for you.  I remembered every second of that first day; I didn't want to, but the horrific memories flooded my mind, my body, and my soul.  I cried for you today.  I haven't cried for you in so long...&nbs...

  • Pain is up again...

    Tuesday, August 25, 2009

    The last few days my physical pain has been increasing. I now have to take a pain pill. I would rather not. But the pain is starting to trigger my depression and even some ocd thoughts.
    I have been online trying to distract myself from the pain and it helps for awhile.
    But even though I supposedly sleep for hours, I awaken and still feel tired. Here it is 9:19 am in the morning and I feel achy and...

  • In a bad funk...

    Thursday, September 3, 2009 | A Painful story

    I have not been able to write  much in my journal lately. My feelings are all over the place and I have been having pain to boot (pain triggers depression, ocd, anger, and anxiety for me). Lately my thoughts have been turning to death and I am trying hard to focus my mind on positive things because I know that usually works for me. But lately it has been harder to do.
    The OCD is stirring up s...

  • Ugh!

    Thursday, September 10, 2009 | A Painful story

    Why can't I get myself to leave the house today?
    Damn pain ain't helping.
    I will take a pain medicine, then try to go out for at least a little bit. I am isolating from the real world way too much now.
    The least movement is of importance to all nature.
    The entire ocean is affected by a pebble.
