I thought I could stay quiet till after the first of the new year but I couldn't. The sadness, solitude, and pain are getting worse. I can honestly feel a physical ache from the inside and it is spreading. I am tired of being strong, tired of being strong to strengthen others who need the help.

I want so badly for my time in this hell to be done, naturally. I'm tired of not having someone tangible, to to help me strengthen. Most of my time in hell has been solitary and it has been really draining. Now that it is getting cold, the pain from my waist to my toes is getting unbearable. I can't even enjoy reading a book. Between the savage nightmares and pain, sleep is next to impossible.

I can't afford to go to a counselor or medical doctor, and the VA doesn't do anything nor do they show that they give a damn. So I am on my own. I know of others in the same boat and it angers me to no end, because I don't like to see others go through what I do. What is all the strength and suffering for, when you have nothing? I honestly don't know.

Hot pepper mixed in Ben-Gay will help with the toes. It's hot but it does the job.

We're all going through something right now. Hang in there. It's the season that lends itself to being sadness on all levels.

Wish I had a magic wand and have it all stop.

Thank you everyone. I'd give almost anything to be done. I can't take much more. I've given too much to have any left for myself. I'll just have to tough it out till my time comes.

Ok. So. Heres the deal. Time to pamper. Take a warm bath or shower put on clean clothes. Get up and cook something. Even if all you have is rice. Be creative. Trim your toe nails and play some of the games with other members. If you have paper draw doodle get comfortable. If you do freeze up make sure to get up ever so often. Drink hot teas and stay hydrated
