I could use some advice, a little OT

If you could read my journal entry tonight, I'd appreciate it. It's not fibro related really, other than the fact that when I get real emotional it affects my FMS.
I am just feeling so depressed & anxious & hurting right now. I know alot of it is due to the fibro & the meds, and the change in meds, and the fact that my pain pills don't seem to be working much anymore. Most of it though is just the pain & helplessness, watching my grandson sob & not having an answer or solution. I comfort him, I calm him down, I give him hugs & kisses & tell him how much we love him. I can almost always calm him down. It just feels like a little piece of my heart breaks every time we go through this. I don't know how much more I can take. I'm literally having pain in my stomach & heart, I'm just so upset. I hope this weekend turns out okay with him. He'll be seeing his mom two days in a row, so I don't know how that will affect him.

You guys are the best! I don't know what I would do without DS.

*bump* Nobody has experience with custody or visitation issues? My husband just left to take him to his mom's. I told him before he left that he was going to have dinner with mommy and then he was coming back here, and we loved him. Hopefully it won't be a meltdown tonight. Don't think I can handle another one.

Hey ShelliF, I'm sorry that I'm just seeing your journal entry now. Wow..it touched me. Although I have no experience in these issues from a practical standpoint, I'm more the emotional type like you are. But rather than call it emotional...it's VERY LOVING...CARING...FEELING THINGS more deeply than other do sometimes. I think it's also a thing with fibro which makes the pain even worse. It's like our whole emotional, nervous system is screwed up.

You are doing God's work. You are an angel in this child's life. Try to hang on and realize the blessing you are to those around you. The world couldn't survive without caring souls like you.

You are a gift to be thankful for.

Hang in there and my prayers are with you. Please let us know how everything goes today. I'll check in later to see....

Love and hugs...

my heart goes out to you. i just read your journal. wow. treasure your grand babies, they grow so fast. he is going to need all your strength this weekend. i have a son that is adha, bipolor, and did not do well with visitation with his dad. he is now 25 but still has some problems. all you can do is be there for him, love him and reasure him that you will not abandon him too. he is still so young he will adapt. he will push all your buttons to get the reactions he so want out of you, witch is reasurence that you love him, and you make him feel safe. he will try to see how far he can push you mostly just to see if you will leave him to. hang in there you are doing a great job. i know from reading what you wrote, that you will do everything in your power to make sure he is ok. as he getts bigger he will learn all the things you have tought him. it will all be worth the time and effort. stay strong, show him love and trust thing will be ok

    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...
