I have Fibro, Psoridic Athritis in certain places and SI a muscle that strangles your nerve. My husband and his family are not supportive. Oh and I have Bipolar type 1 and DVT. So many drugs that treat fibro. I can not take. Recently I found out that my right hip is pinching my cartilage and walk even sitting aggravates it. I lost 50lbs. but still need to ose 30 more so I have to use crutches when the pain is bad. My husband complains the house isn't clean, I can't take pinky out for a walk. Him and his Brother believe by paying the Bills thats enough to show they care and you should be grateful. He is a recovering alcolholic. and I can use pot to help with my pain but I have to smoke it outside cause it stinks he says. I don't care how much more pain you feel walking.I can not survive without him finicailly and I do love him so much. but he won't go to meetings or therapy. and he refuses to lift a finger to help clean the house. Home improvments he can do but refuses wants to do his own thing spend money hhow he sees fit but gets mad at me for spending money at all. I drive a stick and it will help me more to drive a automatic with the city traffic, but to upgrade me from a 99 ford escort to something newer yeah right. He wonders whyI treat myself to crafts without asking and unfornatnatley my Bipolar makes me spend ecessively. Then I share it with my friends its the only way I feel good about myself helping a friend out in need or share gifts with them. My credit score is trashed because of this. in debt. maybe 20,000. and instead of helping me control things he just ignores it and hopes it goes away. I'm so forgetful so I forget to pay the bills of course his are automatic withdrawl but mine aren't so months will go by and I forget and then when I remember I'm a few months behind but no we can't just pay it we have to try and remember to pay a little extra every month. but as long as he has money to buy whatever tool he needs or wants at any moment. EEEgggghhhhhh>


The depression alone is soooo bad I'm ,lucky to getup everyday. my lost of intrest in anything or caring about anything sucks!!!! I also struggle with pain mangement more like getting the pain meds I need without seeming like an addict. But I am an Addict my body is but my mind is not. such a fine line. 4 to 5 Norcos a day now remember I can't take NSAIDS, so being on pain meds for so long my body no longer produces the natural pain reliver so a stumb toe feels like a broken toe and charley horse feels like someone is ripping your flesh off.



I am amazed I'm still alive. rightnow I feel empty, lonely,Trapped, tired, scared, terrified, and overwhlemed. I have 2 friends but I never feel like doing anything. I love TV thats my escape music is too. without that I don't know what I do.



Sorry all just need to vent I feel as if no one cares about me and no one loves me.

You came to the right place for sure. I know exactly how you feel. I just got into another fight with my husband about him not caring, and basically I was told I've made him miserable. This life is so hard, and I find that most of us simply can't live a normal life, no matter how hard we try. with that said, have you tried joining a church or maybe a group? I know you don't feel like it, but you feel trapped b/c you are. You have allowed the fibro and other conditions to take over your life, and you need to get out of the house. I know I hate it too, but I know how you feel b/c I feel trapped, unloved, and like nobody cares. I don't get out and talk to anybody, I come here and these are my friends. Maybe we both need to get out and make ourselves join a group and make another life for ourselves. I hope you don't find this as lecturing, I can just feel your pain and I know how you feel. I'm praying for you.

Your not lecturing hun, you are Right! as a matter of fact my friend drove a hour out of her way to come get me to keep her company while she worked and passed out flyers I was outside in 74 degree weather and a cool breeze. It really lifted my spirits. I feel so much better. Thank you for listening. Just to know someone out there understands me and allowed me to get it off my chest helped a ton. THank you all.
