why?

why? why is it that we get like this. i have every reason in the world to be happy. i have a wonderfull family, i am loved, i have a great husband and son. so why is it that i dont want them anymore. i dont want to be a wife, i dont want to be a mom. i feel that if i just walked away every one would be better off. my husband could find a wife that appreciates him more, that wants sex more, that loves him more. my son is very young so he would forget me in no time at all. they both deserve better than a person who has lost her marbles, and just wants to be left alone. someone that dosent lock them selvs in the bedroom so i dont have to deal with life any more.

This is a physical disorder. Like diabetes is physical. Or heart disease. Stop trying to link happiness to what "should" be. People with diabetes don't get well just b/c they "should" & people w/this brain disorder have it whether everything is Jolly or not. Getting on good meds w/a Dr. you trust is crucial.

Seems like this stupid illness demands and usually gets our full attention. The people we love feel like they come second when we're sick. It's hard not to feel guilt over that. Remember that they need you and love you.

I understand fully how you are feeling, It is almost that we are never happy with what we have and take everything for granted. It must be hard for you to see the forrest for the trees at the moment, but you are loved your son and husband would miss you dearly if you uped and left.

Tomorrow is another day, and you have to try and take each day at a time. U are not a burden to your family and running away will not help you, at the end of the day you can run but you cannot ever hide from BP. HUGS :))

Good point Rosie. That reminds me if today sucked and I feel better tomorrow to give my family my full attention and devotion and then not feel so bad with my wasted days!

    I'm trying to exercise daily. I was doing fairly well until I sprained my ankle 2 weeks ago but now I'm getting back on the horse. Today I walked over a mile with my arm weights that are about 22lbs total. I was out of shape and it was hard on my arms. I also did my 30 situps. I'm also going to drink a lot of water and try to eat healthy. I do tend to have a sweet tooth but I'm cutting...
