I spend up to two weeks out of every month nauseous since my stupid period lasts SEVEN days now and is really heavy and I'm nauseous a few days prior and still a few days after.

I don't know what's wrong with me! This doesn't seem normal. My period used to be nausea free, be light, and last three days! Now all of a sudden it's like up to two weeks of fudging nightmare a month.

Sorry. I'll stop ranting. At least now my daughter is fed and watered, so I have no reason to move again for a couple of hours.

I don't know if this'll make you feel better about the payee thing (if you even need to feel better about it anymore) but my husband takes care of all the bills around here. I am NOT good with money. Sometimes I feel like a huge woman baby because I don't work (am on SSDI) and don't drive, so my husband is paying bills, working and always shuttling me everywhere. It's just the way things ended up. It hasn't always been this way. All I do now is try not to go crazy, take care of my daughter on the weekends while my husband is working (as much as you even need to take care of a thirteen year old), take care of our cats, and make sure the apartment is squeaky clean. I suppose, now that I'm thinking about it, it's kind of sad.
I don’t think it’s sad, you still do your ezine and taking care of your daughter is a lot of responsibility too and keeping your apartment clean and you are a kind and fun person. You love your music and enjoy going to concerts. I think sometimes mental health issues put limitations on us in certain ways but it’s okay to accept that. It doesn’t mean you’re any less of person by not being able to do certain things. I know it’s hard though. I feel like that often about myself. I’m still trying to come to terms with that myself that there’s certain limitations in my life in what I can and can’t manage. And trying to learn to be okay with that.

I hope you feel better soon! Nausea is one of the worst feelings.
