I have been in excruciating pain. I have various autoimmune diseases and disabilities.
I want to buy few things so badly.
I have been adding it and saving it to my cart.
Pain does really stupid things to you
I am pushing through. I haven’t purchased anything but the desire is so strong to.
Thanks for reading.
Chronic pain sucks. And we would do anything to get rid of it. I try to breathe through the worst pain. It does not always work.
Sometimes I do something stupid. Sometimes I lash out. I know it won’t make the pain go away. Sometimes I manage to befriend my pain. It does not make it go away either. But we can coexist then.
Sending you strength
Your strength is awesome! Praying that you continue in your strength and peace finds you. I take immunosuppressant medications. I know what you’re feeling sister. The ups and downs can be heavy. Keep fighting and I’m happy you’re here.
Im sorry youre hurting. Just “play the tape forward” after the initial rush of the purchase what negative feelings/consequences will you have after you induldge in shopping?
I am not a medical professional. I don’t know the specifics of your case.
But are you able to do any exercise at all?
Feeling down. Worse week ever. Pain would not led up and ending up buying a few colouring books. I deleted the sober app and in sheer frustration. I ended up with migraine that leaves me partially blind. I just caved in. I didnt spend a huge amount but the fact I spent at all …
Anyways ty for checking in.
No I can’t. I am immobile and bed ridden.
Just feeling like giving up. As long as this pain runs my body - it feels like hopeless. I can’t go anywhere, can’t shower myself, I am at home 24/7 in my hospital bed, no friends, and I colour digitally because itself is accessible for me. I can’t cross stitch, or anything else. I can read and watch TV - that’s it.
It’s rough.
I’m so sorry your in so much pain .could you reach out to anyone in your community who maybe able to help or even be of comfort to you . Is there a local church you could get in touch with or an organisation that understands your pain . there’s always a way if you have a will
We don’t know how to help you. If you feel so down and miserable what are we to do but commisserate? Most times in life it comes down to us having to help ourselves when we’re grown ups.
You could try thinking about how things could be worse. What you are grateful for. Taking any sort of action to improve your situation and move away from self pity.
This may not be the salve you want to hear, but is the salve you need to hear. We all care for you.
I do attend church they don’t understand. I have to becareful with people who I come in contact with due to low immune system especially after sepsis.
Most don’t get it. They can’t fathom needing someone to take you potty etc, or making your food etc. I rely on my caregivers full time.
I have a counselor she’s a retired nurse of 35 years. She’s great. Outside of her and my girls [few] it’s challenging when people can’t really grasp it.
I am grateful 99.9 percent of the time. Being smashed up in a pain level pass 1-10 to a 15 does something to a person. Yes I am allowed to be frustrated. I am not in self pity - I am in grief. There’s a difference.
I don’t just deal with addiction, I deal with additional challenges physically, emotionally and mentally - yes it’s a choice.
Right now if frustration is all am feeling. Then
I am gonna feel it, accept it and when I gather enough strength after being beat down by pain - try again.
That’s good. You’ve acknowledged it’s a choice. You’ve acknowledged the temporal state of frustration.
What action steps can you take to remedy your physical pain? Do you have an attending doctor or nurse?
You aren’t alone either. We’re here, supporting you. It’s better than nobody.
Bless you I’m so sorry I wish I could help more but I’ll pray for you and your situation to improve ,try to keep your spirits up with the things you can do
