  I have suffered from fibro and depression for the last 11 years. In the last year I have lost my job because the constant pain. I have become very depressed, not able to do things that most people take for granted. I spend most of my day taking it easy, just to keep the pain under control. I feel so useless sometimes. I have no friends to share my feelings with. I am a very private person, so it's hard for me to open up. It would be nice to have someone who understands to talk to.VIEW IMAGE

Sometimes the anonymity of the internet can help us open up and find kindred souls. Hopefully you stick around the forum and read that you really are NOT alone, and a lot of people here are going through really similar situations as you. Hang in there and post whenever you need to.

angel, you are NOT useless! I feel the same way sometimes when my house is a disaster, I am slacking at work, etc. Having fibro makes things so difficult. I hope this forum helps you feel less alone.

Angeleyes,

Without a job you now have a wonderful opportunity to read, search the internet, and grow your mind.  Have you considered starting or joining a fibro/chronic illness support group in your area?  That would be a great way for you to meet some people who are going through similar experiences, without being too much of a commitment on your energy stores.  Email me (in profile) if you're in Illinois.

Best wishes!

I lost my job 2 yrs ago due to fm. I was in constant pain and fatigue. I tried to work less and I couldn't keep up with it. I am disable now and I am just starting to get a handle on it. I learned to rest when I need to and it seems my pain is better with resting more. Yes I get frustrated sometimes because I can't do what I use to. Your at the right place for support.
