It's incredibly disheartening, I know.


When I am tired, disheartened, feeling like it's all pain, I try to live just hour by hour or day to day. Sometimes this gives me time to feel better, time to recharge.


You have every reason to feel defeated.. You are in so much pain, on all levels, that I do worry about you.


It can help just to be able to say how disheartening life has become.


I am someone who truly knows what you are experiencing/talking about. I have no words , in all honesty. You have to decide what you can take. Maybe just try to decide hourly, allowing yourself some time to regroup and /or to make very sound decisions.


I know much of your stress is situational. Situational stressors can lead us into depression. if you are experiencing depression, too, is there something helpful for this?


We can always quit. Therefore, there is no reason to rush into doing so. It can be helpful to write down the reasons for living.


Let's have a chat?


I know R is there for you. Me, too.


With Lots of Love and Admiration


Thanks hun

I have many plans but no intent.

I have numerous hurdles I have set for myself before I can get to the “intent and do X”

It would devastate my husband, daughter and some friends.

As you know ... “ The Pain” well it’s just an absolute monster .... a giant fire breathing monster from hell.

Having chronic pain and not being able to sleep as that’s really the only “ escape “ I have.... but I’d sooner find a unicorn than get any kinda of regular sleep. I hate that you deal with this also

I have tried most all psych meds just for the sedation,nothing works. In the words of my T I truly need an elephant tranquilizer.

Because of the time of year it’s “ possible” there could be a bit of Bipolar in this mix. But it’s really situational stuff( health problems) , pain , and insomnia.

I honestly wish Big Pharma (whom I loathe) would spit out a new sleep Med. So many of us suffer from insomnia, and no real help available.

Is it wrong that I wish I’d get a truly proper depression where all I did for weeks is sleep ?

Love you bunches
