Lyme Disease and feeling alone

Don't Stop Believing,

I think I'm allowed to say that most of us have these feelings at a certain point. It's a very hard one to deal with...

I was so angry with the people around me, I could just snap their heads off 
I still have these feelings, but it has calmed down a bit. There's so less energy left, that I just can't invest it in this emotion anymore (it came 'naturally'), I'm just not thinking about it anymore (most of the time ). You'll see me posting something when the frustrations get too bad - LOL.

I'm quiet happy being on my own right now, cause that's what my body needs. I'm even happy when my husband goes away to visit family for the weekend, without me. Don't try to keep up with your friend's activities when you're not up to it, it'll avenge itself later.

I have 2 friends that are really concerned about me, and I tell them my frustrations, it helps a bit - and I post on this forum - helps more . I'm not into drama, but crying really helps, don't hold it back.

Try to focuss on getting well, and on detoxing, it consumes a large part of your time. I also meditate, it helps me to get less frustrated. Have you tried it?

I too get so angry and feel alone. I am trying to care for my 3 young children and get myself well and have stopped leaving the house and just argue with my family who think I just have post partum anxiety or hormonal imbalance. I feel like no one gets it an because I don't have joint symptoms that cripple
E physically that I'm not really sick at all
I just started posting on this site but have been reading it for weeks and it helps a bit. Although I would like to read more positive experiences. I know that people who are feeling better are out living their lives and not wallowing in their fear and pain.
It's great to have a place to just be real about how we feel

I like the birds and windchimes

that is paradise to me,

I recently got a little bird house feeder

and I wanted to get bamboo woodchimes,

u tube, calming music helps too

I think it's safe to say that your feelings are very common w/ lyme disease. Most, if not all, of us have been there. This disease is so systemic that many of us end up housebound. We're often too ill to go out and be with friends. When you can, see if friends or family can stop by your place. Explain that you are too ill to really go out, but feel lonely and miss their company. Your true friends will be there for you. Have them over to watch a movie or just hang out, even if it's for a 1/2 hour, it'll lift your spirits to be with people.

So sorry to hear you are feeling horrible. It really does take every bit of patience and strength but it is so worth it. It will take a while for this infection to clear up. You will notice little improvements along the way but it really is a slow battle. Lyme can get into every nook and cranny in our body so it takes some time for the meds to work.

It is so important to give yourself the time to heal. I also had problems with friends and they just didn't get it so I gave up trying. It is so so important to let go of the stress as your body deserves every chance to give the infection 100% of its time and energy. Stress will cause feeling of depression and aloneness. Once you let go of trying to do what you can't, you can get better instead.

I had to change my whole lifestyle as I was a workaholic type A personality. Now, boy am I enjoying this relaxed happy life feeling terrific. You will get there too!
