hit by a Fibro-Bus

This is weird, but I think my mother is starting not to like me. I think she is fed up with me. She and I arent that good together, but I think we can be. I withdrawal a lot maybe that is the problem. She is all into my little brother right now. I am older, and I think she is disappointed in me. I think she feels like I should get my act together. Maybe she doesnt really believe I live in pain everyday. I am trying to stay on meds right now, and work out and eat right to control pain, so I can live a real life. I am tired of being the ill one. I think people are tired of me, and I am tired of me too. I live in pain all the time. I am so tired of people making me feel bad or making me feel like I have a bad attitude. I would like to see the Normal people be in a good mood after being hit by a Fibro-Bus.

I used to feel like that all the time. I get so tired of the pain, but I've accepted the fact that nobody is going to understand it without actually having it. I think it's something that comes with time.

IS THERE NO WAY THAT YOU AND YOUR MOTHER CANNOT SIT DOWN AND TALK? SHE'S YOUR MOM AND I KNOW THAT YOU KNOW THAT, BUT DON'T LET SOMETHING LIKE THIS GET AWAY FROM YOU, SHE WON'T ALWAYS BE HERE AND THIS IS THE BEST TIME OF YOUR LIFE TO GET INTO HER MIND, I ALSO KNOW HOW OLDER PEOPLE GET SET IN THEIR WAYS BUT I CAN'T STOP TELLING YOU THAT SHE IS YOUR MOTHER, PLS GIVE IT ANOTHER SHOT, IKNOW YOU HURT,BUT PLS TRY. I KNOW I'M SAYING ALL THIS B/C I LOST MINE WHEN I WAS 24 AND THERE ARE SO MANY THINGS I WISHED I COULD HAVE SAID AND I CAN'T NOW.I NOW HAVE TO WAIT FOR DEATH TO COME TO ME TO LET HER KNOW.....JUST HOW I FEEL....LOVE...HELEN

i know what your going through only it's my boyfriend that i think is sick of me and my pain. i feel like running away from home....i think my kids hate me or im just overly sensative cuz im in all this pain....i think the one place we should be able to feel safe with what we're dealing with is at home....and yet it doesnt seem to be the case makes for a lonely fibro sufferer i know im that person. keep your head up thats what we are all here for is to keep one another from going crazy and feeling alone while going there....sending all my support.

I think it's one of those things you actually have to live thru, or with, to really understand it. We here understand it. Sending hugs to you.

I think your post title is excellent...and so true!

You're the same age as me almost and I think I get what you are going through. I'm wondering if your mom doesn't want to understand what's going on with you...maybe she doesn't know how to help you. Nobody wants to see their child in pain and maybe by her not acknowledging it, it doesn't exist. I think a sit-down discussion is in order.

My mom has Fibro and she doesn't quite know the extent of my pain. I seldom complained until this last 6 months. I tell more and more people what I have as well as when I'm in pain. It seems to empower me a little more.

You are doing everything you can, so please keep your chin up.

My mom never got it ...and never will.
I hate to say this but....if it aint about her, then its not that important.
My mom and sister are my WORST supporters.....I have learned to let it go.
(only took me 10 years)
I just try to appreciate those in my life that do take the time to at least TRY and understand.
I have great friends, great son. great clients....my family, OH WELL!!!

    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...
