IM AFRAID
i keep having health issues, i always hurt. i never sleep. no exaggeration, i go days without sleeping. i can lay in bed but i cant sleep. it feels like someone is smashing my face in to the pillow or squishing my bones or something wierd, cant stay in one position long enough to fall asleep cause i hurt. sleeping pills dont work, and if they do, they just give me a major hangover so i drag ass all day any way, i feel better when i dont sleep vs taking sleeping pills of any kind. so i nearly always feel tired, even when i do sleep. so i tend to lay around, not sleeping, but trying to rest and feel awake. sometimes im just utterly fatiqued and exhausted. i try to fake it. i try to act like i feel good, i try not to complain but it slips out. i dont think anyone believes me anyway. if i go to the doctor i cant afford all those expensive tests. alot of people think i might have fibromayalgia, including massage therapists and others who have it. so if i go get diognosed, then what? there is no cure and they dont know the cause. so they give me a pill, to treat the pain, who knows the side effects and the drugs pretty much knock you out from what i hear, so either way, it doesnt really get better. so is there even a point to get diognosed? i really dont want to take pills. its scary. there are so many drug companies that make money off it...
now im having memory problems and my night vision is shot, im scared to drive at night. sometimes it seems hard to think, its hard to explain how that is really. like i have to force myself to have a conversation and remember what im talking about cause i have too many things going through my mind.
ugh. i dont even like writing this entry. i thought it would make me feel better to get my concerns out, but it doesnt. i just feel like im complaining, and i dont like to. im just so uncomfortable all the time. i dont know how to make it stop. now im fat on top of it cause im too tired to get up and workout everyday. even though i know it would help. now im a walking contradiction. ok. im just gonna shut up now, im irritating myself.

You know you have had so much trauma in your life and never really been able to process it.
Here is a great interview from the Dr. that wrote the book: When the Body Says No:

I sure wish you could find a good trauma counselor but I know that is not possible at this moment. I work a lot with the book: Waking the Tiger by Peter Levine with my therapist. I am not sure if doing the exercises by yourself would be as helpful but it could not hurt.
I am sorry you are in pain.
thanks susy. i wish i could get this figured ot too. now i just wish i could have one day, just ONE day, without being irritated, tired, hurting or angry.
i dont have to be happy, just normal. its not like people on my home front try to help me either. they prefer to make it worse by doing things they know that piss me off. not a damn person who comes in this house will pick up their own shoes or sweep up the mud they tracked in. or pick up their trash. or turn off lights. or anything without me bitching about it.
im just tired, of EVERY morning, having to clean the entire house, two sinkfuls of dishes, and take out the trash. they do things once a week and seem to think that is enough. sorry, im just bitchin now. but the little things really help. but no one wants to understand how much it hurts me to be bothered constantly by such small things. they just dont care. i wish i had the strength left in me to pack up me and my baby and move.
I have had the fibromyalgia diagnosis . I go out of my way to find a treatment for anything that doesn\'t involve a pill. The best success I\'ve had is with chiropathic. I know that it\'s said that there is no cure but I feel like I\'ve whipped it pretty well. Anytime I feel it slipping back I go get an adjustment and it always helps.
I\'m sorry you are in pain love, it is so wearing when it is constant.
And I\'m sorry people don\'t clean up around you. Have you tried not cleaning up? Its tough but I have gone on housework strike b4 now. Just say you are ill and go to bed for a week?
I had a stabbing pain in my back when I was clinically depressed. It was my emotional state creating real physical pain. It went away once I cured my head. My suggestion is to focus on the stuff in your head that is bothering you. If you can work through those things the fatigue will probably go away. Once you can sleep you\'ll feel better too.
I am only 2 and half hours away from you, if you ever want a friend to have coffee with let me know and I will meet up with you. I havent made many friends since I moved here..and the ex sociopath lived in Tacoma so I was a frequent driver down there..take care xoxo
