Have you ever just wanted to walk away from your life?  It's a nice pipe dream, but obviously unrealistic.  I am just so tired of feeling sick with fibro and crohns and depressed all the time.

We all make choices.  We have to play with what we got, not with what we want.  No choice is bad, necessarily; Some choices need time to ferment.

I know exactly how you feel, but you are right, we have to play with the cards that we were dealt. Unfortunately. I have learned to bring expectations down to something I can feel good about. I don't know if I said that right, it is hard to explain. I guess I don't expect a lot and that way I am never disappointed. Life is what we make it I guess. I am happy for the most part with this type of thinking...

There are ways to take vacations. I find meditation really helps a lot with that. We can clear our minds of that constant thinking. And feeling disappointed. Like I say, I don't want for much. That keeps it very simple for me. Helps me to cope with other things.

You will get there too. It takes time and practice of being in the now. Living in the moment only...

Keep on keeping on Myself.

Hugs, Karen...

I have felt this way a lot. I hope that things get better for you hun. I know that some times its hard not to walk away but once things get better you will not regret staying.

Oh, yes I have been there. I'm escaping through tv and movies and reading right now. I get so tired of all the stress, hardship, pain, and heart break I'm dealing with right now.

Yes, I feel like this many times too...
I think we just need to hang in there, stay positive and use whatever works to help us cope.

Hahaha have been thinking seriously of leaving my life after Christmas! Usually when I want to leave its because I just want to be selfish for once and make a new life. This time it's cause I know my family have had enough of me and I feel that maybe they would be better off without me. A vacation/escape sound like a wiser idea, thanks.

I think it is only normal to want a vacation now and again. Things get stagnant at times, or overwhelming to go the other way. I think a small vacation no matter whether it is music, meditation or an actual vacation is nice.

Keep on keeping on you all!!!

I get so tired feeling sick, and then depressed. The past few days, I have been dealing with a crohn's flare. I must have ate something, though I am not sure what, that got the ulcers going. Today, when the sub line called at 6 am to cancel my job today, I had a forget-about-it moment. Went back to bed, after putting a do not call in.

I have a lovely list for today. I need to start Christmas Shopping. I have been woefully bad about this, due to a serious lack of fundage. I need to finalize my insurance policy. I just cancelled renter's insurance, and need to finesse my auto insurance to pull the price down.

Just so very tired. My re-start on life has hit an icy patch.

NCOT has Crohn's far worse than I. I have had UC for years, and kept it mostly stable on meds. The disease spread starting about two years ago. Upped meds didn't do much, and other medications made me sicker. The last choice left was humira, which has severe side effects for people immune system problems (raises hand). I tried one of the strict diets as a last-ditch, avoid-the-scary-med effort, and am so thankful it helped. I will still be on meds for life, and right now is a little hinky, since I am taking half doses until ACA kicks in. I am fairly sure that this has contributed to this flare.

I believe you, dude. People who have healthy 'systems' can rarely imagine the problems of a system that rebels. It's not a choice-but we still have to muddle through and live life, somehow. I am not a give-up kinda girl. I just wish that one condition didn't feed on the other quite as voraciously.
