Husband is slowly improving. Taking the afternoon off to just sit for a few hours. Back to the hospital in the morning

I'm not sure how I feel right now. I'm sick and tired of taking care of everyone. My "stay at home" husband doesn't think he needs to clean and do laundry. Hmmm what does a stay at home husband do then??? It use to bother me before, but now since I can't walk I can't pick up the slack. He was perfectly okay with me working two jobs and now we are faced with the fact that I may not be able to work any and he keeps acting like it's my responsibility to fix it. I'm just tired. He hid my car keys so I couldn't drive. The Doc said I could...I just need to find the keys and leave. I would but I have a very sensitive 14 year old still living at home. Sorry for the rant. No one needs to hear all of this. We all have our own problems. Hugs to all and again sorry

I'm having very peculiar feelings today that are setting off depression. I feel as though I'm from a different time and place and should be there instead of here. I just don't belong in my generation. This is leaving me with very intense feelings of loneliness and isolation that I can't shake off. It hurts. I feel like I will just never connect with others my age, and this destroys a lot of opportunities for me - friendships, romantic relationships... all are impossible, unless I can somehow 'get over' this (which I don't see how I can). I feel like a true freak... needless to say, this Valentine's day will be a very difficult one for me to stomach...

I have a horrible sense of doom. Everything is as I don't want it to be, my body, my apartment, my whole life. I don't know what to do to make changes with my back this bad. I'm so heavy that my efforts at exercise in here don't seem to pay off. But I'm not consistent enough due to the horrible coldness in here this winter. All the layers make fast walking through narrow paths impossible. I just am so miserable and unhappy.

realising theres no point of trying to improve myself... i cant be healthy, no matter what i do or how hard i try im still stuck here and cant sleep...

tonight i have to stay up all night with white noise blasting in my ears at full volume and its STILL not enough to drown the noise out. i also have to stay up on wed night because i need to go out at 8.30

with this much sleep deprivation (caused by others not me) how can i possibly be healthy? why bother? i give up...

Slept well last night but got up a little too early so I indulged in a rare nap. Had a really good day & did much better voicing my feelings. It was so gorgeous here today when we went on a hike & saw the most beautiful birds-it was very serene & I thought wow I'm glad I'm here to enjoy this day. My heart goes out to all here who are struggling-sending you lots of positive energy & cyber hugs Take care all.

Second day in a row of feeling really depressed. I'm so tired of feeling like this. Life is such a struggle. I have to force myself to do everything. We're going to a movie and out to dinner later on but in the meantime I'm at such a loss. I long for the days when life was enjoyable and I looked forward to getting out of bed and living life.

Had an orange and a few nuts because they were right next to me. Making a sandwich takes too much effort.

Don't feel like doing anything. Just trying to distract myself. Every time I sit with my feelings the thoughts come back and I can't handle them. I don't trust myself to tackle them head on because I might end up feeling even worse.

Need to study. As usual. If I can get myself to eat then that might help. As it is I don't have the energy to do anything, including preparing food, which means I'm going to have even less energy. I need to push myself.

I don't want to sleep (which in a way is nice; I'm not as sleepy as I used to be), but staying awake feels like torture. My brain won't shut up.

My brain won't shut up either, hasn't for years, I miss having a good sleep, wish I could remember a time when my ears didn't ring like nuts, wish I had a way to get to the store, had enough money.... and I'm feeling like commiserating with misery today

How many times have I heard the phrase "it gets better" vs. How many times it actually got worse instead of better?...

UPDATE: Well, got my copy of Teen Ink in the mail today, just in time for V-day... "The Love Issue". Looks like I get to sit here all day and read stories of what I don't (can't) have. Whilst not even having any chocolate. Boo. Oh well, at least I have a poem in this issue. My poem is not a gushy love poem, at least. And now my parents are fighting. Here's to love!

(Can you detect my bitterness in this one)

Today is a typical Saturday. Just doing some cleaning and shopping later on. Very warm outside and that's unusual for this time of year. I feel a little bit sluggish. Nothing eventful later on. Just nice to have a break from work.
Thanks for this!

Sure. It's very depressing, I'll admit. It's about losing people.
The end of the poem ties in with the title.

...YOURSELF

Lately
I’ve been flaking off –
(paint chips.)
each piece a person
who was in my life, but
left me.

Whether death or choice,
each left and took a piece of me
with them. Now
I find
it’s hard to move
on with all these
holes and parts falling
out –

it’s hard
to limp through life
with no crutch, no love,
and the same broken-leg
hurt.

Torn memories wave in the mind
like torn white waving flags.
Give up …
as now, all you have
is …

I feel so normal since starting these meds. Even though I needed an adjustment upward, I have no side effects apart from a stiff neck for a short time after I take them. I was watching a series on TV when I relized I haven't felt "normal" for years. That made me wonder what if I'd found this combo of meds 30 years ago? Would I have had a chance at finishing college, keeping a job, not having so many physical problems?

Better not go there. Can't change what has passed.

Death in the extended family yesterday, so I went to visit those mainly affected by it. Good to get out of the house and see everyone, horrible that it took such a loss to get me over there.
