I've been feeling pretty bad these past 2 days, one of my level 7 flares. Spent entire day yesterday in bed and had high levels of anxiety probably from inactivity and thinking too much.

I don't know how you can do this with the little ones and being a single mom! It must be so difficult. I to have felt very isolated since becoming sick. You just never know how your going to feel from day to day and some of my past friends did not understand. Try and surround yourself with caring and understanding people. You made a good move finding this site. Hang in there, hugzz san

I don't have little ones of my own, just my grandkids and they live far away. I don't think I could deal with this if I did, it takes every ounce of energy I have (mental and physical) to take care of myself (financially, cooking, grocery shopping, home stuff.) Friends and family just seem to drain me, I would love to find a companionable person to just kind of be around in my space and not require me to DO anything for them.

I'm feeling down today, which is a normal conclusion to a flare. Even though the flare is gone, it seems to set in stone that I will never have a normal social life - activities, friends, a significant other. Every moment of feeling good is precious to me and they are rare and are taken up by work, household chores, errands and feeding myself. I feel so lonely.

Hi Hun I know where you are coming from, but listen to your body if it tells you to stay in bed then that probably what it needs. I agree about friends not understanding and isolating yourself, you're lonely but don't need or want the hassle. Keep your chin up, this is a great place for support. Hugs Cat
