I've been going through this alot lately. Sometimes I just stay in bed and pull the covers over my head, I do have to get up and walk around because even just staying in bed hurts.

What helps me the most is distractions meditations ( Healing Begins Now is a group on DS that has alot of good meditations) and prayer.

Sometimes just accepting the feelings and knowing that they are normal and you just have to ride them out.

I hope you find things that work for you.

You might want to repost this under general topics for some reason not alot of people go into other areas on the boards.

Sending Hugs & Prayers,
Mary

here is a link to the meditation group.

Oh, my Gosh, you are the sweetest kindest angel. How can you not have anyone to be kind to you? I am so sorry to hear of this new tragedy. You can always come here to us. We will always support you. We understand and care. You'll be OK Let it out. Have a good cry, curse a bit, scream, beat your pillow, but above all treat yourself with tenderness - we'll be watching and will here when you want to vent. Love and hugs, Sjome

I just got dx with FM last year as well and am struggling to get by day to day. My entire life has changed and I am no longer the active person I was and want to be. I find that journaling is helpful and also messaging friends on DS as they are so understanding. I vent on here a ton b/c I don't want to worry my husband...he is deployed to Afghanistan. Pray, deep breathing calms me, stretching - even if you are sitting on the bed, music is so helpful as well. I went today and got a drink from Sonic and drove and listened to music. It was nice. I didn't feel well at all but had to get my mind off of this illness! Hugs to you and I will be praying!!

I am so sorry about your dx for leukemia. We cant even compare fibro to leukemia, my heart goes out to you.
Stay positive and vent away and maybe you be healed soon.

I love and care about you. I am so sorry you are suffering so, you can talk to me anytime, I will be here for you, also if you don,t have a pet, I prefer dogs get one not a puppy you must tend to but an older dog from a shelter or one someone no longer wants, it will help you tremendously, I have three. They help with my depression and mood and pain alot, they will be loving and understanding more than any human. God Bless You
