Thanks Turtle. Rock on!...
My therapist says I should try to accept that I'm going to have times where I have fatigue and times that I don't. It's frustrating. I guess I don't want to accept it. I get what he's saying though....
Thank you Denise. I don't know what ME is? I am in a partial hospitalization program right now. I go to the hospital (psych) from 9:15 to 3:15 monday though Friday. Sundays there is a grief group I...
I survived but I'm still feeling a lot of fatigue....
Thanks. I'm having really bad anxiety this morning. Because I'm going back to the outpatient program. I wasn't expecting this.. so now it's fatigue and anxiety. Lord help me through this day!...
Thank you Karen. Wishing you a wonderful day as well! :turn:...
The pain I think was 4 months. And it was awful! Thanks for reminding me. I keep working out everyday anyway. I have decided I will do 30 minutes of cardio a day no matter how crummy I feel. I'm also...
I was diagnosed with depression when I was 18. I'm 49 now. However, all my life i've had episodes of fatigue but I'm not sure if it's real fatigue. I feel weak but I am still able to do things. It's...
Which comes first? Depression or fatigue? For me I think I have fatigue and then I become depressed because I feel like crap. However, I find that if I cry I usually feel better. My fatigue has been...
Karen... thank you for being so supportive. You have always been here for me. I appreciate it. :)...
Sorry I haven't been around. Things have been crazy since Luke died and my back surgery. My depression got pretty bad. I spent last week in the psych hospital but I'm feeling better now. I still have...
I have four cats. I've had cats most of my life so I get it. They are funny and all have their little quirks. I don't know if I could have gotten through my boyfriend passing away and my back surgery...
I am going to a grief group and I still participate in the partial hospitalization program. Also... I went to see Beauty and the Beast today. I totally enjoyed it! :)...
I'm having a hard time right now. I'm feeling pretty depressed....
Luke was 56.. that's not old in these times....
Pitmom, I want to give you a big hug (if you want). I'm sorry you feel that way. I am a little vain too. I don't want to see old friends because of how much weight ive gained. Although the friends...
By the way, I love ALL you guys!...
I'm so tired today. I've been walking an hour every day because the a-hole doctor in the program I go to said that it's pointless to walk less than an hour. I really don't feel like doing it today...
1. Well, my back surgery was a week ago Friday. I'm doing a lot better. I'm actually sitting up in front of the computer without much pain at all. this is huge.. I haven't been able to do this for...
I thought they were going to be pissy with me later but they weren't. So, apparently they got over it... and they cleaned house so it was a win for me. :)...
Thanks Karen, I like that "where there is breath there is hope". Thanks for always being here! I took a huge step today.. it may seem like nothing to others but I asked my roommates to keep the house...
My self esteem has always been low. I suppose because I wasn't treated well growing up. I am back in the partial hospitalization program again but I find myself having a hard time talking a lot even...
Thanks for being here guys! I am looking into finding a grief program too....
It's the hardest when I cry and there is no one to talk to. Usually, at night. I'm sorry you had to go through that loss. 23 years is a long time! I'm really feeling the need to go back to the...
Karen, I'm trying to reach out to family and friends but it takes a lot of work and I don't always have the energy. I guess I don't really have the best support network. He was my primary support. I...
Thanks Karen.. I've been feeling pretty alone lately. I think I will do a meditation tonight. I probably can find one about grief....
Hi Tim Tam... Things have been a bit crazy. I went to a place called crises residential last night. It's a place where you can go for up to 23 hours. They have counselors there and nice recliner...
Tim Tam.... I don't know if I can respond to all of this at once. My back pain is nothing like it was before the surgery. I still have residual pain in the nerves but the doctor says that will heal...
Today is a bad day. I've been in bed all day. Feeling lost. I see the doctor in a bit, maybe that will help....
Getting out of bed with out twisting is pretty difficult. I don't really think I have ever got that down. I had a herniated disc, spinal stenosis and degenerative disc disease. I was rear ended by a...
Tim Tam, I am able to walk but I still have some limitations. I'm not supposed to lift over 5 pounds or bend or twist. I do have pain but it is pretty much nothing compared to the pain I had before....
I have a therapist I talk to once or twice a week over the phone. I can't drive yet so I can't go into his office. I have friends and family that help out here and there....
Feeling really sad and not knowing if I am going to survive this....
Hi all, Well, my back surgery was a week ago Friday. I'm doing a lot better. I'm actually sitting up in front of the computer without much pain at all. this is huge.. I haven't been able to do this...
Hi Everyone, I got to take a shower today. It was much needed. I had to wait 5 days! You know I want say I'm better mentally, but I would be lying. Yesterday, when I woke up, I didn't want to be...
He was very overweight and had a lot of health issues. He was diabetic and had high blood pressure. He just had stents put into his heart a week before he died. He had blood clots before. You know.....
My heart is so broken right now. You know, Luke, my boyfriend wasn't perfect. He was very heavy but he was trying so hard to lose weight. He had lost 30 pounds and was so proud of himself. He was...
Yes I have veins that rule to and I think the reason it freaks me out of this because I've been poked too many times. The last time they used an ultrasound to find my vein I guess that's the new...
My physical pain is worse than my emotional pain. I can't wait to get into surgery at least when I'm under anesthesia I won't feel any pain. To me the IV needle the hardest part....
Thank you everybody for your kind comments and reassuring words. The last couple days I've been just a whirlwind of physical pain and mental pain I don't know which is worse they're pretty much equal...
Hi Karen yes I could see you. Good to see you. Can't wait for the anesthesia I'm tired of hurting...
I'm super tired but I can't slee.p...

Oranged, thank you for your support....
I accidentally hit ignore or something on Karen's post. How do I get it back?...
Hi Karen, they will probably be seeing my therapist next week. I was scheduled to see him this week but he was out sick so hi I tried to call today but I haven't heard back so I'm sure I will hear...
Thank you, Turtle. It feels so weird and lonely without him here....
My boyfriend gasped for air about 3:30 in the morning. I tried to wake him up. He wouldn't wake up. So I got my roommate, his daughter in law to come try to help me wake him up. He wouldn't wake up....
