I am sitting here crying. The reason I am crying is I am in so much pain that my hair even hurts. I hurt from my head to my toes and there is nothing that can be done about it. I have lupus, fibro, RA and a few other dx. I do have pain meds but I really hate to take them all the time.

My liver is shot because of all of the meds that I have to take. It's days like this that I wonder why I continue to live.

Sorry cakeladie to hear how much pain you have suffered all these years. That must be so difficult to endure. If your feelings are strong to question why go on living or you are starting to make escape plans, a safety plan is a definite plus to keeping you safe.

There are ways to cope with these kinds of stress, like self care and having a safety plan in case you find yourself in a crisis of confidence. Here is more on a safety plan that includes numbers for crisis lines that serve your area.

My sister tried to commit suicide when she was in high school and I know what it did to our family. I am usually a very strong person but tonight when I could not lift a cup to get a drink that made me feel so useless if that makes sense

I am sorry that you are suffering so much. I know you are in a dark place and for you I am lighting a candle to brighten your life.

Sitting here crying I don't know why I am still alive

What place? The emotional place you are in?

You aren't always in this much pain... but yes, at times it seems unbearable... you need, when you are in a better place, to rearrange your life some... you need more help than you have...? I have days where I drop things abundantly... and on those days I use plastic cups and straws. No, I'm not minimizing your pain at all... I understand...and I've been many times where you are now...

We have no idea that they will find a cure or real medications just around the corner of life...

hang tough.
