Let me be Me Community Group
A support group for those of us that need a safe place to share what ails us. Or what doesn't! This group is your group so you can be the person you really are, no need to pretend, no need to create some successful cyber image. Whether sharing our trials and tribulations, or our success's in life. Whether in sadness and needing comfort and support, or just...
Just skip this if you're not up to a " bummer" post...I know I'm not.
I've been feeling pretty weary of my own struggle...so, I'm sure that's affecting my perception..
But...looking at the sites dedicated to pain sufferrers....seems like pain's winning.
I don't think I can keep coming back to other peoples unending unbearable pain any more.
It used to feel like we all lifted each other somehow..
Now it seems we can only commisserate with each others misery.
It's hard enough to feel powerless and hopeless with my own situation...
Adding the sorrow of others just doesn't seem beneficial...to myself, or to others..
Since I don't feel I can even keep up the " hold ons".
I've come to believe that the only thing that will truly help any of us is adequate pain relief...
And, most of us aren't gettin'...and are never going to get..it.
..I warned you this was not a " happy post".
And...I surely didn't say any of this to bring anyone else down.
I guess I'm hoping this is just my perception at this time based on not feeling well...
And...maybe someone has a different point-of-view?
With ALL OF MY HEART....I wish you all relief....and some measure of peace.
Love and hugs...jc

But O how they need us, need the support, just as we ourselves do.
But the ugliest monster of all "Depression" can take us all down in the fight. We can't win every round, only a good portion of them.
So just as the board cycle's so does it cycle within each of us.
Hang in there JC, it will turn around.

And..it helps al of us when one of us is winning, I think.
Keep it up !!!
but, pain isn't the only thing here. from my most recent experience in opening up here. there are so many reasons to be here. so many reasons to stay. it's fine to take breaks, we can't all be 200% all the time and give like a bunch of buddhas because we've all got IT.
you can break from being an altruist now and then, you'll still be invited to your own heaven. a huge part of cp care is self care and if you don't give it, no one else will. sounds like you need just that. there's nothing wrong with some time for yourself, but don't give up on this valuable place.
and don't worry about letting it rest for a while. you'll always be able to come back. it's like riding a bike.
when it's more give than take on you, it's out of order to expect to feel perfect about it. step back. it's ok.
