it definitely feels like everything is backfiring on me---i try so hard, and still manage to screw it all up. i reach out to my friends, and they just keep turning me away by not answering my calls.

Me too. people think I am crazy as a shit house rat when it comes to calling people when I need someone to talk to. I call like 50 times until they call me back or get the phone. I have lost friends that way too.

I've learned that I've tended to overwhelm others alot with this illness we have. And I've chased a lot of people away. But I also found new friends in my recovery. Through that I have learned to watch what I say and how I say it as not to run someone off. But it ain't easy! LOL!

Mine is text messaging. I really try to restrain myself tho, because I know it has gotten a bit annoying. And I know it annoys the hell outta me when people call me repeatedly. Course I get a million calls a day from various bosses so my phone is ALWAYS going off.
Anyhoo, Call once. give em a coupla hours, try again. Leave a message. I think they were right about them missing you. I don't call my friends for a few days and everyone starts wondering where I am and why I haven't been hanging around.

A deep longing accompaniedby the deepest Love some days. The heavy fog mayreturn and the next day, it may recede.Once again, it's...

    I have my maxed amount of epidural shots of my cervical DDD....(and no one cares about my lumbar DDD)..... I've done physical therapy, muscle relaxers, Amitriptyline, Nortryptiline, desipramine.....narcotics... So I decided to go to a spine specialist and they have me on Gabapentin. Its been two weeks and it did nothing for my lumbar ever... but it did seem to help my cervical and arm/hand pain...
