I find that when i am alone I don't have a good sense of what to do with myself.
I start to fold in upon myself mentally or eat or drink and try and sooth myself.
Transitions from being with people to alone by myself can cause upheaval
and almost a new way of self regard - I can become whimpery and searching
for someone to assuage how I feel - I feel very scared to indulge a line of
activity as it feels vulnerable. I wish things were different.
I do have a job and I feel like it is good that I am productive like that
but it feels nearly like I should be doing more - or maybe just the incessant dissapointment with myself.

Some things we don't talk about, we breathe them... Some things cannot be explained, but rather experienced. Some of the most healing moments arise when given the memory, acknowledging the love.One cannot go back in time; we move forward, and we carry the love we shared.

I've been feeling like I don't matter my wife the other day instead of telling me she was having a pain day when I went to have sex with her she tell me afterwards that she having pain day due to her fribromyalgia and making feel like shit afterward saying she has a list of things from past 9 years of thing for me to do and is always adding more and more to this list and talk...

One of my highlights on DS was the day you asked me to be your friend...I felt like I was in the Malibu club! If your feeling blue have you checked your meds? Holding down a job is a great achievement by the way but if I was feeling sensitive and vulnerable I would have a special meeting with my doctor at least about that.
Keep us posted. Hope you feel better soon.
I don't know if that helps or not but remember to not be so hard on yourself.
I am grateful to have found you all here - and I will come back more often.
Peace to you guys!!
I'm a big reader and I can get lost in books so it's probably the thing that I find most peaceful...I love Mt ds family as well ....big hug sweetie...xo
I too feel lucky to be in the Malibu club! Sorry you have been feeling sensitive sounds unpleasant and I agree might be time to break down and call your pdoc sometimes the tiniest tweak can make a world of difference....
Please come back more often!
I am so grateful for all of you - it's weird to reconcile our dreams with our disabilities
but that's kind of what I have to do - as we all do...and so just weary that I can't go for my dreams like others can. ONE BIG FAT GREEK HUG from me!! LOL
to have these issues and also have to navigate life. x
