stuck in a rut

I can give advice all day but listen to my own wisdom? hah! This has been another wasted day. I slept most of it away. Why can't I seem to do the simpliest of things? My T said to take the word "should" out of my vocabulary. I still feel guilty for not getting things done yet I continue not to do them. It is a viscious circle! I have rheumatoid arthritis, chronic pancreatitis, I am full blown into menopause and depressed! I don't know which does what to me anymore. Does it matter? sigh .....I am just frustrated and whiney! Thanks for reading.......

You got so much to deal with... Take your time and take very good care of yourself

What one piece of wisdom you give to others would benefit you the most?

I have a similar problem sometimes of not being able to take my own good advice. Sometimes I will call a friend (or get on PC) just to hear what I already know is good advice because it is easier to believe it is good and follow it if it comes from someone else. I'm not sure why this is.

I may not have been through the medical history that you are going through, but, I do have plenty of experience with feeling guilty for incompleted tasks. I do wish you well. But there isn't much I can say to this. But just try to take things step by step.

Sorry you're going through this.
I can so relate. Pretty much same for me.
"Sometimes we teach best what we need to learn most"
I give good advice. Now only if I'd follow my own.

I've been wondering what the hell is going on with me. Symptoms of extreme sadness and sorrow for no apparent reason...sneaks up on me without even realizing it. When it hits. I'm good for nothing. I don't get anything done. Can't think straight. Everything is a drag. The simplest of tasks have become enormous feats to even think about, let alone do. And the more I don't (can't) do, the worse I feel about myself. I know they need attendance, yet when I try to begin, I feel incredibly overwhelmed. I tell myself I'll do later. Later seldom comes. Pressure builds.

I'm aware of this cycle, but I find myself just thinking about changing it brings me down, and I'm not able to care enough to change it.

I'm really sorry to hear this is happening for you.
I hope the best for you, and that you find some relief....soon.

Shangrala

forgive yourself

I am sooo sick of this cycle of depression and guilt. I think that menopause is a factor and I am patiently waiting to see a gyn, but the time goes by as though I am trudging through thick muck! Thanks for your reply. Misery loves company and all that. Moreover, it is good to know someone understands. blessings

You're much "better" than me then coz I'm pretty "useless" at giving advice on public forums.
Kudos to you for helping others,
sincerely,
