hi all! i hope you all had a great 4th! its been awhile since ive been on here, i hope everyone is doing ok.
my pain is getting worse. plain and simple. the headaches seem neverending. my lower back hurts so much its getting harder to walk. i feel so useless lately. my house is a wreck, the laundry is piling up, and my Boyfriend is tired of not getting any. ive been working doing a yard sale, 2 days put me down for a week. and we are doing it every weekend. so for the 4th weekend i decided to skip it, my BF says to me ' Wow, i wish i could just sit on my ass and not make money"..... he is usually so supportive, i cannot believe he said that. he apologized later but i cant get past what he said. i know he hates his job, and he can only say ' sorry you hurt' so many times before he just.....stopped. he is, again, usually supportive.
i cant even take many showers lately because it hurts to stand that long. out hot water heater is acting up so i cannot get a full tub of water to take a bath. i do have a bath seat for the shower but even that seems to take too much work lately.
and of course people trying to tell me, ' oh just get out more! walk around the block' motivate yourself!" yes, i have given them all a copy of ' A Letter to Normals, please dont diagnos me' but it doesnt help. ( for those who have not read it look it up NOW!!! give it to everyone.
now im just rambling. sorry. im not suicidal, i love my daughters too much for that. but i just feel useless. i sleep a lot. try to escape. but i cant do that all the time.
i guess i just needed to reconnect with DS and get the support i know is always here. thank you all who read this, and wishing you all pain free days or at least pain free moments.

So mad at Xfinity! They're trying to charge me $115 per month for the same service I had been paying $50 the last four years. I took the equipment to UPS for shipping and cancelled my subscription today! Next door was a cookie shop called Crumbl. I had heard of it before but never went in until today. I don't need one more sugar fix, but maybe it will help with my sad) grieving heart....$15...

I know this is stupid, but after not being able to find a job after graduation for almost two years, I ended up just taking an online teaching job because I couldn't find anything in my field. I was trying to get out of teaching and I feel so devastated. I felt this crushing feeling when I signed the paperwork and when I was in the meetings. I know that sounds so dramatic but it is how I felt. It...
Pain. It is what makes up my life.
hugs and hopes you find some relief

Sounds like your boyfriend needs to take a breath and hold it rather than take out his frustrations on you! As you said-he is frustrated with his job and frustrated that he can't help you...but verbally letting his words slip is painful.
Is your daughters or friends nearby that can help you out a little with cleaning? You do what you can and that is all that is expected from you!
I was going to suggest even a plastic yard chair for the shower-but since you already have a chair...
Don't they have those back supports that you can even put heated things in? I know I have seen them for knees .
I bet your headaches are getting worse from all your mental upset-so like I said..you do what cleaning etc you can and see if someone else will pitch in to help you keep caught up.
I hated my Dr. saying I needed to walk, and I was kicking n screaming lol but I finally did realize that being active does help. Doesn't make sense when you are hurting so bad, but it does help to keep the
muscles limber.
Hope you feel better soon.
