First thank you for sharing and for being so open. That is sometimes so hard to do especially when you feel so low. Know you can only do what you can do. Sometimes just getting out of bed is the accomplishment of the day. But you did it.

I know that your fibro hurts. I have a good friend who suffers from that. There are days when she is hurting so bad that she can hardly move out-a-long to anything. But that does not make her a bad person. It makes her someone with a condition that she cannot not do anything about it. But she still gets up and does everything she can.

Yes, we all have things that we know we should do and sometimes we do not do it. But sometimes we are just where we are. Yes, sometimes we do get stuck in a place where we are not doing what we should do and in those times we do need to push ourselves to the best we can.

But sometimes we cannot push anymore. And we need to give ourselves a break. I know there are times that I have to push myself because otherwise I will wallow in a place that just keeps going around and around in a vortex that only I can stop.

But sometimes like right now----I need to just take time for myself as hard as that may be to realize I need to be right where I am. That I need to feel what is happening within so that I can move forward. The pain right now is terrifying and it hurts. But I know that within this pain----I will grow if I allow myself to learn from it.

What you are feeling is normal and sometimes we get caught in the depression grabbing hold and pulling us under. It lies to us and attacks anyone at any given moment for it cares not whom it gets.

That is when I come here and read others words and caring, supportive post----and it pulls me up and gives me the strength to go on. To literally at times keep fighting. So many here have already been where I am, and their words are strength in the midst of a storm.

I encourage you to keep posting and sharing. I thank you for trusting us and telling us how you are feeling. Know we are here to listen and validate what you feel. You are important and what you say is important. It is how you feel. It is you at the moment.

Please know you are not alone and that we care. I send you gentle hugs if that is okay and lots of loving thoughts. We are here for you.
