Exhausted

I am exhausted mentally and physically. I am not in the mood for Christmas. I am in the mood for Jesus. I just can't get into the whole "hallmark" BS. I'm so broke i that I can't afford to do much.  I have been in this predicamen at Christmas for years now.


I am in horrible pain. Not just knee paiN. Pain pretty much everywhere. I go to see my Dr tomorrow. it'll be a waste of time I'm sure. 


I just want to cry but there are no tears. I feel dead inside,

I am here for you. You are not alone. I am so sore you are in so much pain. I hope you find comfort and I hope your pain heals. God bless you.

I know what's it's like to be in pain you have my empathy ... Christmas is about Jesus and it's not through stuff that we share its love... The love of Christ ... It's hard to do much when your in pain I know but a kind word to a cashier might make all the difference in this season of commercialism... Don't count yourself out..... ((Hugs)) polar

I have often wondered if Christmas would be easier if it were still a religious holiday. Sigh. Even in churches, it doesn't seem to be.

Hope you find a way to put the Christ back in Christmas, TC. The Happy Ho Ho it is now sure is confusing.

Christmas has become so materialized, it's ridiculous. My depression always hits me hard by November, knowing Christmas is right around the corner. You are certainly not alone in how you feel. And I will never stop saying Merry Christ-mas! Hugs

Gentle hug sweetie.... I don't have much money either.... I've actually come to the conclusion that other then what we need to sustain life the rest is all gravy
I lost pretty much all of my possessions from being foolish at one point....I didn't even have a winter coat and it was winter here and it taught me a very good lesson that I will always be aware of re 'stuff'
I hope that your appointment goes well tomorrow.... Big hug and a blessing....xo

    I did the dumbest thing today.  I charged my earbuds, unplugged the block and put the block in my little bag instead of the earbuds.  I wasn't happy about that when I got to the gym.  What a dummy!

    Ever since I stopped doing therapy because of insurance, I've been feeling that old tense and irritable sense of anxiety and stress. I hate that. I was making so many strides and changes during therapy, my therapist would acknowledge all of my progress and accomplishments, and I miss that reassurance. Today I thought about it, and I made those changes! She would always tell me that I chose to...
