Having a bad day

Of course most days aren't great, but today seems especially bad and this seems to be only place that people would understand. Sorry to be depressing, but I'm just in that place right nowand feeling very alone. The same old sob story I guess. I hurt all the time or am too tired to do anything. I've lost touch with family and friends. My husband is sick of me too. We barely even touch anymore. Either I'm too tired to do anything or they're just sick or my sickness. I wasn't depressed before, but now my life has gotten me there. Yes, I have plently to be greatful for, but today I'm feeling sorry for myself, I guess. Started thinking about my sister and brother and how they never call or contact me to see how I'm doing. I wonder if I had cancer if they'd call. I know this isn't a terminal illness and I should be greatful for that, but in a way it is. It's a terminal illness that you get to live with. Again, I'm sorry for being such a downer. I'm usually much more positive, but today is just a bad day. I figure you all could relate. Thanks for listening......Kris

Don't beat up on yourself for having a bad day. We have all been there. What helps me is journaling, doing something for me that I enjoy(like take a bath, read a good book, listen to my favorite music, eat my favorite food, watch a favorite movie) and connecting with God. When I feel others pulling away, knowing that God is always ready to comfort me, love me and accept me helps me get thru the down times. I will be praying for you.

We all get the bad days, hang on in there, it will pass. As for people who get 'fed up' with your illness, have they thought that you may be 'fed up' with their attitude and ignorance! Wishing you a speedy turnaround Kris, warm thoughts and hugs Owlxx

We understand and know what? we are entitled to days like this. In a way it's "terminal" as in there is no cure yet.

Take one hour at a time and those friends that don't understand, aren't really your friends. Talk to you hubby about how you feel and maybe take a little weekend away if you can?

Hi Kris, and I'm so glad you wrote what you are feeling but since I think that that in itself can be so healing. You need to get that stuff out to people who care and do understand. I'm sure everyone on here feels that way many times in a month. Like I say a lot..."it is what it is.." And let's face it, "it ain't easy!" That's why I plug in to this site everyday. I feel now that I don't even need others so much to understand, i.e. family, friends, they just can't, and that's okay. I'm sure you will feel better soon. Please keep us posted and thanks for sharing. I hope and pray for a great week for you, with some good days....LindaF

    I'm trying to exercise daily. I was doing fairly well until I sprained my ankle 2 weeks ago but now I'm getting back on the horse. Today I walked over a mile with my arm weights that are about 22lbs total. I was out of shape and it was hard on my arms. I also did my 30 situps. I'm also going to drink a lot of water and try to eat healthy. I do tend to have a sweet tooth but I'm cutting...
