Hello everyone,
So my question for today is......... How do you stay positive when you dont have the energy to even get out of bed in the mornings?
I have been so down in the dumps lately that I could really care less if I lost my job, cleaned my house, talked to a single person all day(including my hubby). I know depression is part of Fibro and it's totally understandable, everyone would have some depression if they were in pain all the time too. Nothing seems to manage the pain, fatigue, and depression like the "dr's" say it will. So I'm now wondering am I just a bitch now or what? how can I stay positive when I feel like this all the time?

I try to think of the things that I can do instead of what I can\'t.Think on the things that bring joy to my heart.Its hard dealing with the pain,fatigue and all the things that go along with this illness.I wouldn\'t wish this illness on ANYONE but remember that there are people who understand and truly care.For no one can truly understand like those that live it.....Love & Prayers
I agree with dhoney, must concentrate on the positive and never forget the blessings we do have. Don\'t think you have to be positive all the time cause that is not realistic but if we dwell on our pain all the time, well then we are never going to be positive even some of the time you know? I too sometimes feel like I don\'t even want to get out of bed but I then try and think of the things I do enjoy and if I stay in bed all day, well how can I do any of those things! lol I will be praying for you and keep your bright smile on your face and I promise things will get better :)
